  • L2 and L3 Nov candidates: We have a quick last week preparation guide for you guys. CFA Institute also released a new video explaining how they set a consistent difficulty level across exams (modified Angoff method), which drives the MPS. You all can do this, best of luck!
  • Access scholarship and other FAQs: We finally received news that Access Scholarship will only open for application mid Jan 2022, and later again in May 2022. We also address some most frequently asked questions and debate about which is the most difficult CFA level. 
  • Comparing CFA with other qualifications: Finally, for those of you who are on the fence, we compare CFA with CPA and FRM this week. We also came up with our own 'true measure of difficulty' called '300Hours Pass Ratio' which shows that CFA exams are 2-3x more challenging than CPA exams. Read on to find out more!
