The SECRET to Passing the CFA Exams 

a lot of throat clearing in this one. Content starts at 3:16.

Thank you for this video AJ. This last week of prep was a huge reason why I passed L1 in May '21. Also props to Mark Meldrum.

You are the best person guiding CFA Candidates on how to prepare! Thank you.

Thanks for the vid. I’ll be taking level 1 this December and I’m feeling super confident about it. I would recommend others to try and understand the formals rather than just blindly memorizing them.

Thanks !! Preparing level 1 and really motivated to succeed !

Thank you Aj! I don’t plan on taking the CFA exam but if that ever changes I’ll use everything you have taught me ❤️

you gotta keep making these videos until the december exam where you just talk about your study methods and experience I think they're very insightful

I believe memorizing the formulas for level 1 is important, but for level 2 I believe it becomes deep that you need to understand the concept about each part of it

Every time I see a practice question that requires a formula, I write the formula. So my strategy, instead of straight memorizing, is to do so many practice questions that I can’t forget the formulas.

Biggest secret: Always do a final review - (3-5 days) to memorise the formulas, esp the level 1exam. Write each formula down 10-12x down during this review

Hello Hope you are well and thanks for the video ! Did you use your formula sheet when you did the mock exam?

Question : why do I need to memorise formulas when I am allowed to use the Calculator??

Please make a video for L2 alone if possible

Should we also memorize the TVM calculations as our calculator does that with the TMV function.

Quick question - do you revise content that you've covered as you move along the curriculum?

Thanks...but this vid didn't need to be this long

@StraightTalks can you please share your formula sheets

Won’t need the formulas for long term? I’m young thinking of a CFA career👀👀

do people study the whole 3000 plus pages for each level? or is there a faster time and effort efficient way

omg i have no idea how you memorize 20 pages of formulas...do you sing a song
