Off topic: I never understood why Microsoft word would correct me with the "?". I never thought of it as a question

Back on topic!

Yeah, just let me know. I'm applying for schools in Oct-December (depending on their application dates).

 

I know no one cares, but I'm damn happy I passed CFA L2 . Time to prepare my mind to conquer the last frontier: L3!

Good show! Nothing less than 50%, and 6 out of 10 areas above 70%. Impressive!

 

39% pass rate?! Holy cow!!

Vik, how much did you study?

 

42% for Level I, 39% for Level II.

Tough exams.

 

Studied between 250~300 hours over a period of 3 months. Last two weeks are the most intense period, and life gets very miserable studying for this exam.

 

3 hours per night!!

 

or less than 3 hours per night and about 10 hours every day last couple of weeks. I guess that was the case for me.

 

^^^^^ congratulations for passing the exam.

im still waiting for my Level III results

 

^mid-Aug is very soon! Best of luck.
