Hope your studies are going well!
As we’ve mentioned many times before, practice is key, and we recommend that you do loads of practice exams to maximise your chances of passing. Remember that if you need extra practice exams, you can always check out our Reviews and Offers section for any deals that you might want to use.
So hopefully you’re almost done with your syllabus review, but if you’re anything like us, quite a few earlier details may have leaked out of your brain. That’s ok, and perfectly normal.
That’s why we thought a topical deep-dive might be useful for some of you to hammer in the trickier concepts that you may still be struggling with. In the 300 Hours Community, our members have had some good discussions around CFA topics they’ve had trouble with. I’ve picked some discussions that you might be interested in for this post.
- Study Scheduling (Readings vs. Questions/Practice exams): @marc thinks about the perfect balance.
- CFA and Parenting: @marc shares the challenges of balancing CFA and new additions to the family.
- Price Ceilings: @AJFinance clarifies when does a price ceiling become effective.
- Settling Kurtosis Once and For All: @hairyfairy discusses leptokurtic and platykurtic distributions and why the tails seem counterintuitive.
- Are “purchases” Under Balance Sheet or Income Statement?: @vincentt thinks about COGS and Inventory in financial reporting.
