CFA Level 2 2010

ajay.kamat · February 14, 2010, 7:03am

Guys, count me also for CFA level 2 prep.. I haven't started with the prep.. My college exams in sight..
I hope I'm not too late for studying..
Registered for Level 2 at BOM..

I got advice from 2-3 friends who have cleared level 2 that we should also get hands on cfa level 2 videos.. That are handy in time crunch situation..
Believe me I have seen 2010 videos and they are very much useful.. 😃

CFA Institute is scaring me with their warnings regarding the India centre! i wonder why they had to give 5 centres in India as options if they were so doubtful..

Its a very professional institute. It is telling us to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

No Idea. I thin any coaching is ok. Doesnt matter much. However, I personally think going for coaching is not an option for CFA as it can be easily done by self study.

Starting now.. with quants.. target this weekend..

I suggest read/learn from schweser but at the end of every reading, skim through the curriculum book.. Its very useful in getting those crucial links to other topics and thus an overall picture...

Schweser gives a condensed and simplified view which is very useful but does lose out on relating stuff with the overall LOS..

And those who are worried about working 9-9/engg background and not having time.. i am one of you.. but more challenging it gets more fun it is, thts the quality an engineer possesses..
lets give it our all and feel good about it... go puys...

Well it is a little late but u better start now. L2 is not like L1. It is much harder than L1.

The proble in Quant is it starts with the concept I had left in level 1. I had not studied Hypothesis testing in level 1 and thats the reason I am having tough time in quant.

Have completed equities, Alternative investments and have started Quant & fixed income.

Dont worry.. The material obtained a copyright in 2009, but the syllabus is in accordance to 2010.. This is always the case with a publication.. So relax..

ashish_abraham · March 9, 2010, 6:52pm

i've gone into sleep mode ever since my course ended... really worried now if i will be able to cover the entire portion 😞

buck_was · March 10, 2010, 9:16pm

Too primitive a query.. too late in the day for June 2010

Could someone share the topic-wise number of ques at L2 during June 2009? I understand, it can be tweaked by them a wee bit, but will give a ballpark idea
All I gathered from some old posts is:
Corp Fin - 12
Ethics - 12
Eco - 6
Deri - 12
Equity - 24
