You’d say or are you sure? Did you take CFA level I?
Up7Sophie, the reason why I am asking this on this forum is because I have a couple friends who, like you, have passed all 3 CFA levels. However, like you, they can’t remember exactly what happened in CFA level 1 since it was a couple years ago and that they did CFA Level 2 and 3 since and have been working since… One of them swears he remembers the questions were in the exact same order as the CFA books, that it started with question on Ethics, then Quant, then Econ, etc…
Now, I see that RaviVooda claims the same thing (if I understood well): “when I wrote there were in the same order as (Ethics, Quant, Econ, FRA, etc…)”.
That is why I would like to get the answer from someone who is currently studying for CFA Level 2: Someone who took the CFA Level 1 in June 2013 would be perfect. Their memory of the order of the questions should be the most accurate.
Of course this could seem only like a small detail when taking the test. I feel that it would be very helpful to know the order before for many reasons whilst taking the test.
Up5Yes I believe I am already almost ready. I just think it would make it more practical for me since I have learned all the formulas by heart in the same order as presented in the CFA Institute books and that if the exam is in the same order I will know when it switches to a new topic. I will then know for sure what formulas will not be asked on the exam anymore…
I thought it was understood without saying.Up4I believe this question isn’t in violation of the CFA program, at least from what I’ve read/understood from the Ethics part.
I am not asking about any actual exam question or subject matter covered or not in the exam. I am simply asking if there is a particular order of the questions in the exam, since there is an order in the CFA Institute books.
If I somehow am violating the CFA program rules when asking this question, I didn’t mean to.
Please answer.
Up3Sophie, I already got your opinion on the matter on a previous thread. If I am asking the question maybe it is because I think it matters to me. Idc it doesn’t matter to you.
Up2That’s great! Thank you very much everybody! That makes me a lot less stressed…
Up2Well, it definitely does since I have read all the (2013) books and gone back over every single one of them 2 times and done most of the exercises for each, and done more than 400 Flash cards… When I took the 2010 Mock Exam today I there were at least 30 questions that are absolutely not covered in the 2013 books. I really hope that the CFA Level I exam on Saturday will only be on the 2013 books. Otherwise that could be a very good reason why there are only 30% who manage to get it each time…
Does anyone know where I can find 2013 Mock Exams?
Up2I’ll be able to answer this question tomorrow when I’ll be done with the 2013 Mock Exam. Something tells me I won’t find any, or almost, any questions that isn’t covered in the 2013 books.
It does makes sense when you think about it that the CFA would change its books and thus the material needed for the exam: That way they can sell more books and make more money!
If they stay with the exact same books, what would be the point for all of us to buy them? We could just borrow one of our friend’s books who took it 2,3 years ago…
I’m glad I picked that up very quickly. You have no idea how frustrated I was this afternoon whilst doing the 2010 and having no idea what certain questions were talking about…Up1Thank you!
Up0I got a 65%… Made a lot of stupid errors, but I will learn from them… I will also learn those got wrong… I don’t recall reading any questions that I didn’t see in the readings so maybe at the most 5 were obscure…
Does anyone know where I can find additional 2013 Mock Exams for Level I? I really want to do at least one more before Saturday…
