Studying for IB FT and I'm slow AF: How much did you improve?
After a shit ton of studying--1.5 months of 25h/week--I have a decent handle on accounting and "what happens to the three statements?" questions. I'm still slow as fuck on some of the calculations, though. Note: not a "math person", I'm slow generally. I squeaked by college linear algebra courses....
Study Jams
Hey All, I was just curious as to what you guys listen to when you're hunkering down for a big study session, whether you're in business school or undergrad. Personally, I blast thrash metal for hours when I'm going through the shit. Anything from pre-Black Album Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth and...
Cramming: What's your experience?
It's finals week for me and other students across the U.S. I'm interested in learning if you all crammed for a test and what the results were from doing so.

one week for the series 79?
I probably foolishly spent too much time working on the firm's training materials for the actual finance part of the program and now I have only one week to study for the 79. Is it as daunting as the threads from 2010 claim? We're going to a firm-sponsored class all week, and I will obviously spend...
Motivating for the CFA®
How do you motivate yourself to stay after work to study for the CFA®? I am a huge procrastinator and find it nearly impossible to stay late after work when my normal work is done and I could conceivably go to the gym, go watch TV, go hang out with friends, ANYTHING but study. What are your...
