      Thanks @Zee.
      Yes @abra9595. Good advise! I have heard a lot good about his classes. Can you tell how much do they cost?

      @sethneha, no problem!

      As far as ethics is concerned, i’m afraid there are really no shortcuts. Each time, I had to study ethics all the way and directly from the CFAI curriculum. Ethics tends to get harder at Level II. This is because of the item set format, so only those who go the extra mile nail it.

      I’d suggest you do plenty of mocks for your next attempt. If there comes a point when you have mocks at your disposal but you don’t feel like doing them, then just solve the ethics item sets. Practice is the only way by which you can get good at ethics.

      Btw, ethics alone, can not make you fail the exam. You must have done a less-than-good-job on few other areas as well.

      Hey @SpyAli. Your post is very inspirational. I’m giving Level I in December and will hopefully be sitting for Level II in June 2014. I’ll keep your suggestions in mind for Level II. Thanks again man!

          I would add doing the John Harris FRA class to this list. I found that by doing the class I was able to identify the most efficient way to attack the FRA questions. Not only did it help guide me to the right answer but also allowed me to finish the FRA questions in around 10 mins.
