✔ 最佳答案
I’ve passed all three levels of CFA examination in my first try.
Some candidates always asked if reading the study books either Stalla or Schweser is sufficient to pass the exam. My answer will be “either one is fine” as I just read it ONCE in my first reading and then only focused on my self-made notes. Though there may be a quick sheet or summary notes provided by publisher, but they are not user-friendly or comprehensive enough.
I’m pleased to share mine with you.
6 months before the exam date, I started reading the study books (Schweser) borrowed from my friend. I went through the study book one by one and at the same time, prepared the brief notes on my own. In this first reading, I mainly tried to understand the contents as far as I can but not to memorize.
3 months before the exam date, I just reviewed my self-prepared notes over and over again, and cross-checked with the study books only if necessary. The repeated reviews on the brief notes helped to memorize the important concepts well.
1 month before the exam date, I did the sample and past questions intensively and got myself well prepared for a 3 hours examination.
1 week before the exam date, I glanced over my self-made notes again and spared sometime to review the sections in which I was weak.
1 day before the exam date, just relaxed and got a good sleep.
NOTES:
To make good use of my time and NOT to forfeit my social life after work and in weekends, I have put my brief notes in my handbag and review it while I was travelling elsewhere, drinking in a coffee shop after work, waiting for my boyfriend to see a movie, waiting for my sister to go shopping, having a quick lunch in McDonald’s, and etc.
You may refer to the following link for my self-prepared notes.
