Up5
I use both e-book version of Schweser Notes and CFAI Curriculum on my iPad (Retina Display one). What I do is when I want either a paper version of a graph or chart or example I simply print that page out and put it in a binder with my other notes.
Up4I would say go for it because there is no penalty for failure (except the money you paid to write). If you don’t mind potentially having to pay for level 1 again then go for it!
Up3The study about the names is unfortunately all too true. Many people I studied with in my university days were Chinese and had very traditional names. They found it much easier to give themselves an “English” Nickname for introductions, networking and on their resume. Many potential employers worry (especially for recent graduates) about their communication skills when they read a Non-American name.
I am by no means saying change your name or even legally change your name but having an “English” or American nickname can really go a long ways when networking and applying. Once hired or in the workplace many people embrace multiculturalism and different holidays and generally respect each other.
I also work in Canada in a city that is very multicultural and accepting. Always remember hiring decision are often done by an older white male with last generations ideals. I think the wave of youth multiculturalism and acceptance still needs to time to reach upper management.
Up1If you read your study materials out-loud your baby might be a finance prodigy?
Up0I found not drinking caffeine in the morning or at night let helped my sleeping. When I did this I could tell if I was actually getting enough sleep or not. I instead used caffeine after lunch to get me through the afternoon at work.
