Definitely very inspirational from a perspective of attitude and coming at the exam with humility.

Definitely continue making these videos. I find them very helpful and encouraging. Personally I just finished my degree in accounting and finance and starting to work as an ACA trainee in September. I am also thinking of starting the CFA when I am done with the ACA.

How did you manage to stay healthy during your study period?

What’s up AJ. I’m taking the CFA L1 exam in June. I’m using Schweser notes and was wondering if their practice exam questions are similar to the questions on the real exam. Also, should I be answering the practice questions on the curriculum.

Thanks!

Hey, thank you so much for making this video :) just curious, do u have a background in finance/commerce? I’m currently completing a PhD from another discipline and is trying to learn the materials by myself

[humayunkabir]

Can you share what study materials you used to prepare for CFA lvl 1.

[jirehdeleon]

Hi AJ! I'm a CPA from the philippines who's looking forward to taking the CFA Level 1 exam early next year so I've recently started watching some of your videos. If I may ask, would my accounting knowledge prove to be useful in passing the exam? Thanks!

[naderhaddadin]

where do you solve questions from for level 2, which is the best provider for questions?

[byronrich]

Were you able to read through the entire cfa material for level 1?

[nishantwalia]

Hi Bro, is self study is enough to clear all cfa level. As cfa study material is hard to understood and genuine guidance is needed.

[zhiqianglin]

what is ur education background ? study accounting or finance before ?

[i]

lol i can't believe you went to work today and didn't spend time with me...haha some people are straight up annoying like that

[galibnakibrahman]

Hi AJ, just to let you know, you have helped me massively in having a different outlook towards the exam. Thank you. I'd love to read your post on Reddit, could you please share your Reddit name?

I decided not to bother with CFA as did MSc in Financial Maths - I realised the Masters was much more deeper than the CFA so the CFA was not going to add value. The CFA is just broad, nothing too complicated and anyone from a good Ivy league with a good GPA in math or engineering or accounting or economics etc will find it easy as long as they have time. Problem for most people is the time commitment as most are doing while working so limited time to pass. Most smart people fail because they do not put the time in, that is why they fail and not because the exam is hard.
