I love your videos! I'm studying for the level 3 in May. Maybe I should stop watching and continue studying... ;) as you say, daily stress of wasting time doing other things than studying!
Hey AJ Srmek, did you have a daily Target such as x readings a day or x pages a day because currently I'm able to put in the hours but it's the quality of those hours I'm worried about, i know there's not one goal that would work for everyone but what would you say is an ideal daily target? Btw your videos are very helpful 👍
Hi AJ, I was originally scheduled to take the Level I exam in June. In March I stopped studying and was about 45% through the material. Now I picked back up in August and will be done with 100% next month in October. Do you think I should stay again from the beginning until the 30 day rescue period or just start a review when I'm done? Also I can't find where you have your 30 day review plan. Could you share that please?
That would be a ton of material to go back through. I would just start the 30 day review period a bit earlier. And I will make a new video on this 30 day review period.
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 Hey AJ, how were u able to complete all the material in a span of 6-7 months if there’s a total of 58 chapters? If it’s one chapter completed every one-two weeks, I’m using level 1 material just as an example.
Sir I am Cfa level 2 candidate. Sir please tell me one thing how to practically apply CFA level preparation in real life. Sir please tell me one thing too in some topics i understand theoretically but don't know how to apply it practically. Is it fine sir
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 thanks sir. I am in graduation now and due to your reply sir now I will concentrate on CFA level 2 studies because otherwise there is confusion what is the benefit if I am not able to apply that knowledge

That's a relief to hear the online portal questions are harder than the actual exam questions. Been averaging around 68% and was getting stressed.
Yea I think I was averaging 65% right before the exams.

No, I just went for 3 hours and whatever I got done was good for me.
By studying 3 hours everyday, did you finish the material with a lot of time left till the exam date? What did you do then?
Yes, then I started doing lots of practice questions and mock exams.

Since many of the topics are very specialized, they will only apply to your job if you work in a specialized area in finance.
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 thanks sir. I am in graduation now and due to your reply sir now I will concentrate on CFA level 2 studies because otherwise there is confusion what is the benefit if I am not able to apply that knowledge
Are you able to get physical copies of the CFA curriculum? Or is it not necessary?
When I registered for the exams, you could pay an extra $150 to get the physical books. I think you can still do this.
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 only $150 for all ten?
@@jonmaster5000 Yep!
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 thank you
