You were so important for my Level 1, looking forward for your help in Level 2! Amazing job yoy do, you are a great teacher and I cant thank you enough.

I'm glad that i chose to watch & learn from your videos Dr. Mark! You're an absolute legend! I'm gonna be buying the quant section for L2 now, thrilled to start the L2 journey! Once again thanks Prof!

Why I do love your channel, Mark: in addition to finance proper you introduce a lot of other useful and interesting stuff which I would have never run across by my own

Great tips on changing the approach for Level 2. Thank you Mark! Love your videos, super valuable. Also I agree, Thinking Fast and Slow is a fantastic book. A related book that is amazing is The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis - describes their life stories and how it shaped the way they see the world, which lead to their professional partnership and research.

You are a fantastic speaker and a teacher. In a league of your own no doubt.

its just perfect. you are the one of the best teachers i have ever seen

Very well differentiated Professor.

Good thing is I nailed level 1 yesterday because I didn't spend time trying to memorise things, but rather understand 90% of the content and memorising was just the emergency tool for when I hit the wall with some stuff. One comes to realise content is forgotten eventually with the process of preparation of the exam as material is so abundant and dense that you really need to create connections among content and relate things and formulas with the help of some common sense. It doesn't matter how high your IQ is, you get recked at some point relying solely in memory gods.

Thanks sir !! very useful and effective advises to follow on

"you don't want to start in January". Me: "too late"

Fantastic work!

Hope we can still have your videos cover all topics at Level II. Thank you so much again!

Thank you !

This is quite solid advice. Is it possible to go through the practice questions (which are geared towards application) and still not be prepared for the exam?

thank you, happy to be on L2 with you :)

This is the first time I have seen this video even though it is several years old. Wish I saw it before as I am a CPA who has failed Level II three times using Kaplan. Just followed the same approach I used with them to pass Level I and never caught on regarding the right approach to pass Level II. 2,100 hours over three tests. My wife is no longer willing to live without me during our hours after work or on weekends. So, I am no longer pursuing this goal. Good ideas though!!!

Awesome tutor!

Taking level 1 in June but will keep this in mind come august. How do you feel about taking other exams in between? E.g.: The CAIA? Which one would you recommend and why? Thanks again Mark. Videos are great. PS.: I drive 30 mins to and from work every day. Do you have another source for some sound bites ? Quant is hard to take in while driving!

This is very helpful..

Man, I wish I saw this before I registered for the CFA 2. i wouldve waited til next june to sit

Thank you sir

I passed CFA Level 1 by the skin of my teeth. I will definitely need a different strategy to pass level 2.

Good Morning Mark I just cleared my L1 exam last week , and i am contemplating doing my L2 . How long would you ideally suggest for preparation ? I am a student and will graduate in April , so i have Feb and March where i can partially concentrate on it and 2 months (Apr & May) wherein i can focus all my attention towards preparation. I am keen on doing it though i am also very skeptical considering its nearly $1000 and postponing it would mean pushing it back a year which is not ideal. Given my situation , what would you advise?

Hello Mark. On your KZfaq channel you have 3 playlists for CFA level 2, are these playlists just a snapshot of whats in your vimeo channel?

Dr. Meldrum, I am currently studying for Level II; although, I am having a hard time with defaulting to my previous learning methods of memorizing. Do you have a practical way to combat memorizing while studying versus taking the time to understand the material?

Mark do you know if its possible to order the CFAI books for L2 while we wait for our results for Level 1? I am planning on purchasing your notes regardless as I do not want to wait until end of January to start studying for L2. Thank you!

Awesome

Hello Professor, Will you have different set of videos for 2018 CFA Level II? Or we just keep using those videos on vimeo? Thank you!

Professor, Compared to lvl 1, does lvl 2 has too many more hours of videos, or somewhat equal? Thanks!

Is it compulsory to take lv2 after graduating, guys

Hi Mark, great videos. I passed level I with their help. I subscribed your vimeo channel but i'm suffering from the lack of the first readings. Please upload them! (I'm studying the currency arbitrage part but i'm not getting it) Thanks!

Are ur videos divided per reading? (The way cfa curriculum presents it?)

thoughts on trying to cram after taking L1 in december?

Do you have a video or any advice now that we have received level 1 scores by subject for the December exam? In my case, I had 5 subjects 50-70 and 5 subjects over 70. Should i start by the good/ bad subjects? Put less time on certain subjects? Learn more on my "strong" subjects so I still score over 70?

Professor, I used your Level 2 vimeo videos last year, but I am trying to see them again and the link you have in the description says that couldn´t find the page. Will you upload Level 2 videos again, if so how can I access them. Thank you.

I am not able to find CFA level 2 FRA videos on this channel.. can you please help?

sir, i will taking the level 2 exam by june 2018 so i hv at least more than a year to prepare. if i want to start the preparation now, should i start with the 2017 curriculum book from CFA which comes upon registration (a friend of mine is doing the exam this june 17) or should i start with the prep books such as swescher notes or should i wait till the 2018 curriculum is out? thnks.

You can study for 2-3 hours post work and 4-5 hours on weekends. I mean, anyone working full time who decides to give Level 2 would've considered this. You just can't be that blind when you're about to give L2

Hi Mark, I flunked my CFA L-2 exam today, i am enrolling for your course for L-2. Wanted to know if i could understand from your L-2 lectures ,some concepts which i could not understand in L-1. Your reply is awaited sincerely. Thanks Raghavan

I also think that some people will find level 2 and 3 waaayyt easier than level 1 because its so difficult to cram 5000 pages

Honestly my level 1 exam was much closer to level 2 and 3 as you describe them.

That makes it about 9% that make it one shot to get done with CFA program.

3:19 I did not know this😦

too late my friend, it's 9 February 2020 and I am starting preparing right now :( God help me

Still in level 01 xD
