I’m currently using BB L2. So far I’m finding it good, but another friend didn’t like it and got schweser. i thought their practice exams in L1 were good but nowhere near as tough as the CFAI mock (or actual exam) because the topics they focused on weren’t similar, if you know what I mean.
Who else are you comparing bloomberg to?

I would not obsess about what is the right score and just get practice in. regardless of how shit or good your mock scores are it still boils down to the actual exam day.
Up5Three rounds of study seems like it might take up a lot of time. But you could watch them MM videos fast-forwarded and make it in time.
The plan looks solid. My comment would be not to get stuck in your ‘First’ and ‘Second’ phases too long, some of my friends never left that phase up until exam day.
Up4I never get these right…
Up42nd attempt L2 here. I’ve always taken 1 week off for past exams. Maybe I should do 2 weeks but that would take almost all the time off I have left. @jasdev do you have a particular schedule for the 2 weeks for your ‘L2 winning combo’?

Up3I would use them as side material rather than the main one. They’re good for looking up specific problems and examples but I’m not sure how useful they would be to study from.
Up3I went through it once (and learned nothing) for L1. It turned out fine for me, I’m kind of rolling the dice again this year and only reading it once again.
Up3I’m using the free planner too, but will check this out, thanks! I mean, it’s Batman’s plan.
Up3Pens and pencils are both allowed, I’ve heard…
Up2Just had the courage to add in my CFA costs into my contract negotiation, and they said yes immediately. Full costs covered, no questions asked, just by asking. Amazing, thanks for this guys, you’re the best!
Up2Found this thread while I was looking for audio notes as well. Does anyone have any opinion on Allen? (as they also have audio notes)

I’m out of shape as shit in real life.
Who says dreams don’t come true? I failed, bleargh. Back to the grind for June 2020 I guess.
Actual footage of me during CFA L2:
Up2I voted for ‘ethical’. I think it’s fine as long as the methodology itself is not proprietary and insider knowledge.
Up1Did you end up using any of these @avannoord?
Up1I’m on a similar schedule, hope it pays off. I did the exact same strategy for L1 – do I need to step it up for L2 or should the same strategy be enough?
