Thank you Dr. Meldrum, i fortunately passed the first level and I’m excited to jump in to the second one

Can someone explain whether the Python/Modeling skills starting in 2024 will be just videos you watch as a seminar and complete exercises or would it be a timed-test at the end of the seminar that if you fail you cannot take the exam. I am struggling to understand what's the purpose of it if you just watch and might have someone else do the exercises for you. Thanks!

The enrollment has dropped in half compared to 2018 and 2019.

Mark: See if you know where its from from the top of your head
Me: Googling it only to find out the song came out before my dad was born

Hi Mark, I entered November 2022 and didn't make it, I was self studying and I am currently working as AP accountant, what is your advice to me, to continue and register again or to shut down this chapter ?
I really exerted lot of effort without results.

I studied for level 1 in about 10 days and miraculously passed at about 88th percentile for the Feb 23 exam 😅will try to implement a proper learning schedule for level 2 this year

Hi Mark, I have failed twice, and spent a lot of our hours for preparation. After your video I understand that I have not made proper review. I am going to register for Aug 23 and hope that I will pass, should I do review and practice and do not spent time for reading chapters again? I have 4 sections below 50%

Hello mark, I don’t have any degree nor financial school. But I have been a retail currency trader going on a year now. I have purchased all the levels to gain the pro knowledge. Will going after the CFA help me. I want a job, doing this kind of work, so what is best for me, I really don’t want to pass the test I want to really know this work

[s.m.hassan]

Hello Mark, I'd take the chance here to ask about the sector studies in the website. I am so much into them. Are there more sectors to be added ? Are they going to be free as they are? Really enjoyed them.

Hello Dr. Mark, just passed level 1 exams through your lectures. For Level 2, I was thinking of applying for the Access Scholarship for the Nov 23 exams. So can I buy your level 2 package right now, as I will get the confirmation of the scholarship only after a little while? I want to start the preparation ASAP.

Not thrilled with the proposition of python starting in 2024 and not needing it in the lvl 1 2023. Going to be difficult to play catch up i feel

Awesome content 🌹one question: would 4months full time studying be sufficient to prepare for level one exam in August 2023?( I studied double majors in Finance and Accounting as bachelor degree) many thanks 🤓

[sophiephuongle]

Mark, I have a liberal arts background (read: very little background in finance) and only started studying for the November 2023 Level 1 CFA. I embark on this journey mainly to bridge the gap in my knowledge before starting my MBA program & to become a competent entrepreneur who undertands the perspective of financial analysts. Would love to listen to more of these motivating coaching sessions! Please keep 'em coming!

Do you think now until the November exam is enough time to prepare for it with an average of 12-15 hours of studying each week? For the average person.

[s.m.hassan]

dr mark u recommend making notes by hand or just take print out of pdf (for L3 specifically) ?

[indianajones]

Awesome information Mark. Thanks so much for taking the time to produce these videos. Don’t take this the wrong way, but your videos often double as a sleep aid for me (2nd pass lol).

Hi Mark! Do you have anything to say to someone who did not pass, was prepared and the passing was about one/ couple of points away. It was so close so I struggle to find the motivation to do it again, as I was excited about moving into the level 2. Also I was wondering if you think adding Python on 2024 will affect the passing rates of November? (People who are not fans of programming wanting to do the ex before it changes).

Many thanks.
