Hello a effers! I am signed up for December 2017. I work in a BB as a sales assistant, on the institutional equity sales desk, have been here for 5 years. I understand how hard this test is. I have coworkers (senior coworkers at that) that have failed different levels more than once. I?ve started studying 2 weeks ago, with quant?I got a little discouraged for a second, when I got to the Stat part- not that it is too hard, but the sheer volume is just a firehose of information. Anyway, my plan is to go through the curriculum chronologically, except for finish with Ethics. So I have started with Quant and I am not sure that I am going about it correctly, because starting at 4 months prior to the test, at the rate I'm going, I don't think I'll be done with all the material? What I know in finance, I have learned through osmosis, just from the environment that I've been in. I majored in a bs undergrad (Marketing). My question is this: would it be enough if I skip textbooks, and then skimming through the notes, and do the EOC questions? Is 3.75 months enough? I'm unsure if I have enough time for December, and contemplating on just doing it in June next year (even though I really really wanna finish it off this year :( ) Any advice or thoughts would be really awesome. thank you. carlyrae |

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
