Thoughts on this? Thanks

          Level II is a whole ‘nother level compared to Level I, definitely read the material, especially sections like Fixed Income and Ethics were you will have alot of qualitative information rather than pure quant methods. Practice questions won’t help you much for remembering definitions and abstract concepts, because they won’t repeat the same questions as the practice material.
