I have an Android tablet that I tend to play with on my way to work, and lately I think the time could be better spent as I spend about an hour travelling back and forth each way. Is there anything good that I should download as an app to help me with L2? Options I'm considering: Some form of Qbank app PDF notes Flash Cards Was wondering if anybody studies while travelling, and if so what worked for you.

I also suggest keeping it low-tech - either a book, or PDF notes. I wouldn't waste time with apps - I'm not sure if there are a lot of quality ones out there.

I prefer pin drop silence with no distraction around me (no gadgets no mobilephones) if I really sit down to study. Silence may not be an option if you need to study while on the commute though @imdnextbuffet... Thats why I never study on the go :>

  I do it. I just bring a book along – you don’t always have to go high-tech @tim!

  @tim i usually print out smaller and lighter copies of the book to read but usually it’s tough on a packed train. Or I get pdf notes onto my tablet as well (adobe pdf reader app)

  Either use PDF notes, or flash cards. I haven’t been able to find quality apps for CFA studies that are really worth your time…

  Back in my days tablet didn’t exist yet. but I do find the time commuting to work a waste – and if you get a seat, its a perfect time to cram some CFA readings in… Do people use audio notes these days? Well, first, is there such thing??
