How I Passed All CFA Exams on the First Attempt - Lynn Raebsamen, CFA

I would like o know if you prepare candidates for CFA level 1 Thanks

Whats funny is that the papers are very expensive. And yet the passrate is sooo low

I passed all three levels in single attempt. You may find more tips and useful recommendations in my channel.

Level 1 is NOT about speed. It's about memory recall!

Thank you.

Some great tips here!

Hi Lynn, thank you so much for your videos - they are awesome! My question is: Can you recommend any entry-level jobs, which are useful to work at, while I am preparing for Level 1? Right now I am working as a freelancer in performance marketing but I am so interested in the finance field, that I want to do the CFA besides my current role. In addition to that, I would love to gain more practical experience.

Before i have more passion and i was study CFA self study i love financial markets, Financial Analysis but now not have any passion so what can i do?

I'm not have a passion about CFA I don't know what i doing ao what can i do to have a passion

Hi there! I hope you are doing well. Could you please make a video on how you left the finance field behind for Edtech and what's your future plans and goals. Thanks

Max was here

Long time no see Lynn from my wedding in XM. What a great surprise to find you here🤗

I got through my school and even graduation in math using this approach…thanks. Looking forward to use it for CFA.

Damn… Such solid advice. Thank you

For level 1 going to physical class / offline class is important ?

Can I get fake CFA certification? If I could get one then is it possible for my employer/company to get to know that I am holding a fake one?

Nice

HI Lin, My background is Engineering and this is something I aspire to. I understand from the comments you used Kaplan Schweser Notes for your prep. Are there any additional resources that you could please recommend for fundamental concepts?
Many thanks for such a great video.

How I cannot pass level 3 for four times ? （I also got level 1 and 2 on first attempt, but every exam results goes wrong on the highest 3 level exam ) I study harder than most students and many so called correct answers are incorrect, just as GMAT how can you get wrong on every 30%-40% questions in exactly same way. I just attended CFA level 3 forth time again in December. One question on number of future contracts is overly easy with many variables are exactly “1”. I feel My performance is top level on the second attempt, however the level 3 exam results are always wrong for me. Just as GMAT exam results are always unbelievable. I am not guilty of anything, I feel there are invisible hands manipulating everything. It seems the world should hurt me reject me in endless way, I suffered too much in what human believed fair world. I am not guilty for such endless harming, but how should I change my subject again and again for such old age. When I as civilians who has nothing, I believed the world will allow the most diligent learner win upper level position through exams, until I got lower and lower score on GMAT exam and CFA level for over ridiculous 10 times, until I found many correct answers are in correct and many questions are not try to test on hardest part but to play tricks. Who can see whose level is higher ? Who are unreasonably always under qualified or who are collaborating cheaters ?

If you don't mind me asking, what role does your current job entail, after getting the Charter?

boo

lol! nice video but lightyears is a measure of distance, not time 😂😂😂

Very helpful, thank you !!

Very helpful video. Thank You.

This was very informative! Thank you

I took the level 2 exam failed with very close margin in both once in 2019 and in 2021 may, i can honestly say its getting harder as my score for 2021 is much higher overall than 2019 and i was much better prepared, i really wonder what i could have done to push me through that 1 or 2 % ( by the scale, i think i am at most2 % away from passing both time)

is CPA and CFA a good combo?

Nice video! Only a small comment... Light year is a measure of distance no a measure of time. The phrase "it will take me light years" is not correct.

I passed 1 and 2 first time, haven’t attempted 3 yet. In my mind I had built up Level 2 as the biggest challenge, so once I passed it I’m really struggling to summon the motivation to sign up for level 3. It’s been over 2 years since I passed level 2, and over 4 years since level 1!

what are job prospects after L2 ? i have only accounts experience from karachi. will i get entry level job ?

You said if someone is completly clueless, they should pick a letter and give them 33% percent change and not go random between a, b or c because that will decrease chances under 33%. With all the respect, I think it's wrong because all 3 letters have the same probability of occuring

Hello. Great videos. Please can you share the reading materials you used for your exams?

Dear Lynn,
Would you recommend for me which of the followings to study for my CFA L2:
1- Kaplan Schweser Essential Package.
2- Wiley Self-Study Package.
3- Mark Meldrum.
I have heard about Mark Meldrum that he has Ph.D in Finance and go through the whole curriculum Los by Los and end of chapter questions. However, Mark Meldrum does not have CFA.
Please help me out with this matter.

P.S.:
- I can’t afford to buy the premium packages.
- I still did not get my CFA 1 exam results and I want to invest in my time with starting to prepare for CFA 2 from now and take the CFA 2 exam in February 2022

Hi Mam First of all nice video. I am confused about what cfa materials should I use. Should I use the cfa own material or the third party material like Wiley, Kaplan etc. or should I use both materials. But even I use both materials how do I manage it what material to focus more? Please let me know this proper answer

Hi. For the mocks since you read through all of them before studying. How did you measure your performance of how well you're retaining the material. Did you reattempt the mocks in a simulated exam setting at the end of it. Or used the mocks as a study guide throughout?

Hello ma’am, I would like to attend the test but have no much detailed knowledge into maths field. I have more than 5 years of work experience into financial & investment area especially into mutual fund & banking sales. Kindly advise.

This is great! Thank you!

Is the actual exam close to the mock exam? (approximately percentage in your opinion for level1)

And for prepare CBT level 1 practice the problem (in CFA Cirriculum) or practice Mock or both

Thank you

Hi Lynn! What are some of your favorite books?

Thanks a lot for precious video for me! As I’m upcoming May 21 candidates but still not complete all readings :( So could you pls suggest the right approach if i still have economic, derivative and portfolio management left, should i skip reading content and do the mock exam instead? 🙏🏻

Does CFA helps for public sector jobs like world Bank group, UNO , Unicef , etc. Also ?

Can someone explain why jumping between A,B and C reduce the 33% chance?

What you prefer for CFA level 1 candidate's review?
Do you prefer only CFA Curriculum practice problem or you prefer CFA candidate resources? In candidate resources extra 1000 questions

Great video Lynn!!
