Anybody else finding it impossible to find the time to even being their LIII studies this year? It may just be a factor of where I am in life/career but I can’t even find a free evening or day to begin studying until 19 January. Must admit I was quite alarmed to see how far along some people are already!

I apply the same concept to my gymming – just start with a session where you’re allowed to do as little as you want. That way I remove pressure off the session and I’m just propelled by my curiosity of the topics, rather than the drive to pass the exam, if that makes sense.
I’m finding the L3 stuff pretty interesting (more interesting than L1 and L2 anyway) so that may help @jwa! 🙂

@RaviVooda you can probably see from my previous posts on here how I feel about the LIII exam and particularly the “essay” paper. The feedback you get if you don’t pass and notably have done poorly on that paper is also absolutely useless. I still have no idea what they want me to write and how. Concepts/material not a problem.

@ravivooda @jwa – I remember that feeling certainly.
Try not to worry too much about the exams bit now, but focus on what’s more important at the moment – learning and understanding the material. If you got that sorted, thats 80% of the problem done. We will wait till the last month in May to start hammering practice papers and learning the exam techniques to answer the essay parts. All I can say is trust me for now!

I think I remember you posting last year after the results were released. I started studying in November through a course. Where are you located? I’m in Toronto and I find that January is a terrible month for your energy levels. You literally get the winter blues, and people around me are commenting the same.
The material is just as dry the second time around, but this time I’m trying to focus on areas that I struggled with last year (risk management, equities, fixed income) and taking it slowly. Our biggest advantage is that we know our strengths in this level!

@comicbookguy – well remembered. My only weakness is portfolio management…. oh bugger. I still haven’t started… Definitely right about January. I’m in London and the latitude is probably about the same; I don’t think I’ve seen the sun for a long time.

@Jwa I’m sure you’ve started your prep by now as I see this is an old thread. One piece of advice I can offer is try not to compare your schedule with others. Its good to know where you stand, but it helps to just go along with your own study plan instead of matching someone else. After all, we all have our individual abilities/strengths which reflects in our study plans. Hope that helps.

@AjFinance – agreed, but I don’t think you can avoid the comparisons sometimes! I definitely started too late and too lazily last year so more a concern of repeating that error for various reasons. I have started now but not exactly leapt out the blocks, if I am honest.
