CFA® Level II~ Update: #12
Date: Friday March 17, 2023
Time to Register on the C&B website for Nathan’s “3” Computer-Based (Item Set) Exams
MOCK EXAM FORMAT: ON-DEMAND (w/ RECORDING) AT YOUR CONVENIENCE –
Note: *Mock exams #1, #2 and #3 are completely different item sets and exams.
These THREE exams will be the best simulation of the types of Item Sets you will have on exam
day.
Candidates taking the exam in May 2023 are welcome to contact me directly to find out what they
should be doing between now and their exam.
All candidates will continue receiving these bi-weekly schedules (in their personal Chalk and
Board account online) which mimic the zoom study plan session we did.
Note: Do not rush through Equity, Derivatives, Fixed Income, and Portfolio Management.
These four topics are important to digest well because they have a high point value. These topics
are a core part ("meat") of Level II. There are other topics and readings presented later in the
curriculum, that easier to get through.
Next Steps :
Complete reading Economics readings in the CFA curriculum books or other prep materials you
may be using.
Complete creating notes, notecards, index cards, etc. for yourself in Economics.
Complete reviewing Nathan's recordings on Economics in sync with the readings in the CFA
curriculum books or other third-party prep materials you may be using.
Complete doing problems at the end of chapters in the CFA curriculum books for Economics.
Begin reading Corporate Issuers readings in the CFA curriculum books or other prep materials
you may be using.
Begin creating notes, notecards, index cards, etc. for yourself in Corporate Issuers.
Note: Nathan’s recordings on Corporate Issuers are not yet on the website but they will b
uploaded in the upcoming week or two. Focus on completing the readings and taking notes at
this time.
Begin doing problems at the end of chapters in the CFA curriculum books for
Corporate Issuers.
Begin daily review of your notes, notecards, index cards etc. in all topics you have completed
to date. I highly recommend on working days, reviewing your personal notes for up to two
hours (no more) each day in the morning OR evening. Review your notes in Equity, Fixed
Income, Derivatives, Alternative Investments, Financial Statement Analysis and Quantitative
Methods. This is the way you reinforce your learning so that you do not feel you forgot this
material later a few weeks/months from now.
