        I will be taking Level 3 next June and would appreciate advice on the best way to practice for the long-form questions. For Levels 1 and 2 I have simply done thousands of practice multi-choice, which has worked well. That’s obviously not an option for Level 3, so I’d like to hear of ideas for understanding and practicing against the marking scheme.

        Awesome, @vincentt has been asking questions on other thread. So will rope him in here as you’re all taking L3 next year and would get to know each other really well.

          Much appreciated @mockturtle and Dr_Paine. Thanks @Sophie – spotted @vincentt ‘s thread. Yes – all working together would be good.

            Yes, I passed this year. Seems sensible to get studying for next year now though (even if my girlfriend is less than impressed).

                I’ve not signed up yet. I’m hoping to get one of the scholarships (I got one for L1, primarily due to links to the local society, but was too late for L2).

                        Hi @BeanCounter, I’m preparing for Level 3 for next June too! The CFA Institute has made available the essay type exams of the last three years, so you can look at those to get an idea. I haven’t seen them yet. I think you can find them by doing a google search for ‘CFA Institute exams level III’ or something like that — the CFAI website is not the easiest to use!
