How I Crushed the CFA (1st Time with 90th Percentile Scores)

Haaris, I'm so glad I came across this helpful video , I'm speechless wow. Perfectly executed strategy, the idea that you tell us when to study and how much time to give each exam, which notes ,etc is all amazing ! tysm! I'm also going with Mark Meldrum for level 1. How do you see the strategy changing for 2024 exam takers given the new changes ?

Hey Haaris, I recently passed L3 and just wanted to let you know that all your tips are extremely relevant and I totally agree with using IFT + MM. I did the same and found them superior to all the 'brand name' prep providers.

Hello, great video. I trust you can give sound advice given your pass scores:
What can you suggest to me given that I did not pass the Lv1 first try and second try.
Second try I changed how I studied: (i) I gave myself more hours and (ii) and incorporated MM and significantly increased my understanding of the content. Yet still not pass (mocks were 55%-60%). What would you do different?

My own self reflection is I did not memorize enough formulas for fixed income and derivatives and eq. Any suggestions, would help. Thank you!

I am so inpatient on passing I am seeing if I do something radically different next time like paying for live lessons.

Really nice video! Thanks!

Hey you have studies ethics right? You should be aware of the rule that you cannot use CFA beside your name its against the cfa institute ethics

Amazing advice, love the video format too 👏🏽

Hey was wondering why you recommended IFT notes over Mark Meldrum's lecture notes?

How did spend your last week before exam for lev 1? What was your approach?

How long it took you to prepare for each level while working full time?

Very concise overview of the cfa!

Where to find q-bank on the cfai website?? ( Is it the LES practice questions??)
Pls help.

Hey Haaris,
Thanks for the valuable video,
Im retrying L2, but need a new strategy and yours interested me a lot. How do go through the material and questions, did you watch MM video, take some notes along the side withing his provided notes, then read the IFT notes as a reinforcement? What about questions after each reading, EOC reading (from CFA textbook) or more Qbanks for faster 1st overview?
Thanks a lot!

Hey Haaris. Can you share your insight regarding the CFAI Portal mocks for level 2? What was your average score in them and how do they compare with the actual exam?

Is university degree a prerequisite to getting the certificate?

Thanks for the info! I wanted to know if it is possible to prepare for the CFA exam without joining any institute for tutoring?? I mean if one is committed to self study can he/she do it without spending money on tutors?

You can actually do the charter in a lot less than 3-5 years! The exams these days are administered a lot more often. If i pass my level 3 next year it will have been in less than 18 months! CFA is not only cheaper than masters but also quicker.

Very useful information. Thanks for sharing.
