    If you have or are studying for a CFA exam, what's your favorite topic(s)?😃 It's probably Equities and Alternative Investments for me... Derivatives is definitely my least favorite, it's so tough😅

    For me my favourite is Quantitative Analysis because i’m familiar with the math so it’s easy :) my least favourite so far is definitely fixed income! Ethics might become the worst, we’ll see when i finish the rest of the topics :)

    Just came across your channel. Hope you passed. Have my L3 exam coming up in Sep and starting to feel really nervous. Was recently skimming through my notes and realized I don’t remember a lot of the details, so freaking out a bit. If you can do a video on review recommendations for L3, it would be most helpful!

    @@pinBin25 from my level 2 experience. kaplan mocks were just as similar as the actual exam. idk about level 3. it's my first time doing level 3. i'm so lost in FI and derivatives, especially currency management. i'm also not getting simple stuff like stating investment objectives for institutions. i'm really depressed and don't know what to do anymore. i dont have time at all because of sleeping a lot past 2 weeks. in level 2 i was getting 64-65% as average scores in mocks, i even got 73% once. in level 3, it's pure hell. i'm even being a little kind to myself in the grading but not too kind. i think if i was harsh my 3rd mock would've been close to 45%. and the mocks are such bullshet. i mean 4 damn cases of FI. FOUR! are you kidding me. and 3 cases of derivatives!! HOW?? it's max 10% how even 3 cases?!! idk man. i'm really weak at FI and derivatives and also kind of weak in PWM. wbu, share your preparetion with me so i know i'm not alone and depressed. send me some positivity and thanks again
