Up5
This is definitely a concern because you are on the edge. I think the problem might be that you have practiced some section pretty well, while in others you might be excelling. So, its really important for you to prepare each and every section well enough to clear the exam. There are many online learning tools available, you can try prepsmarter.com for now . It would help you make a grip on each topic . Well, it helped me a lot .
Up5It would be impossible to cover the whole syllabus in such less time. Try finishing the topics that cover major part in the exam. Just do them properly and practice questions based on them.
Prepsmarter is pretty amazing. It let you practice topic wise. which is a really unique thing I came across.Up4Not sure of whether I am done with it or not but I have flash cards to practice with. They were of huge help in CFA level 1 & level 2 .
Excluding all this I do a lot of practice questions from PrepSmarter to get a grip of the topic It has got ample amount of questions for practice. My only problem of getting confused among the choices is sorted out .Up4Don’t think too much about it. Now it’s over, nothing is in your hands. Take a break and have fun.getting yourself grounded wouldn’t help you or harm others in any way.
Up3It is very essential for you to balance work and studies. Being a working professional myself i also follow almost the same schedule. i have strictly put in 2 hours of study daily in my schedule. believe me it was not at all easy, but i had the motivation to become a CFA .
You have all the study material with you, the only thing you need to do is take out atleast 2 hours (find your motivation) from your leisure time to study.
Read this , it might help -: https://www.prepsmarter.com/blog/how-to-balance-work-and-study/ Up3The minimum requirement to appear for the CFA exam is graduation. you need to hold a bachelor’s degree for that.
But you can still start preparing if you are focussed enough to do CFA. Use any of Schweser, Wiley and Prepsmarter for the preparation of the exam.Up3Finishing with the syllabus in 30 days with no prior knowledge of finance seems impossible. Anyways, since you have registered for the exam it’s better to give it. Try doing the topics which cover the maximum amount of portion in the exam. You don’t have to do it all , just do 4-5 of them, but do them properly. Take topic based tests and then take 2-3 mocks. This is the only thing you can do right now.
Refer to BT or Schweser notes as study material and Prepsmarter for practicing questions.Up1Schweser is recommended for everybody who is pursuing CFA. It is best to study from but if you want to practice questions, i would recommend Prepsmarter.com.It has got ample amount of questions to practice from each and every topic. since you have money issues, it is much cheaper with a better content .
Up1Thank you so much BryanMosley ! This has helped me a lot with my weaknesses.
Up1At this point of time take as many mocks as you can, you will get to know your weak topics. After that, work on that particular topic then give topic based tests. there are many online preparation tools that would give you access to mocks and topic based tests– you can use Prepsmarter, Wiley etc .personally i would suggest Prepsmarter since i have used it.
