How's your prep going? Here's what we have for you this week:

  • CFA Institute on L2 and L3 CBT: We heard back directly from the CFA Institute regarding L2 and L3 CBT experience, e.g. how reading long vignettes on screen would work, and whether there are L2 & L3 simulation programs to try out (yes, soon!). See our updated article below.
  • Candidate experiences: Also, this week we feature some of our readers' own experience (and advice) with passing CFA L1, 2 and 3 with unique approaches and tips. 
  • Reminders: FRM May21 and Jul21 exam registration closes 31 March.
