  • L2 and L3 exam window changes: Last week, CFA Institute announced big changes in L2 and L3 exam windows for 2022-2023. From 2022, L2 would be tested 3x a year and L3 twice a year, albeit with some exam window musical chair swaps. Check out our updated CFA Journey Planner for implications on your CFA registration options.
  • Nov21 exam final countdown (+ motivation): Follow our checklist on what to bring for your exam day and how to blitz through your remaining mock papers using our tried-and-tested techniques. Finally some confidence boost and motivation for you guys (+ research-backed proof): a finance background isn't necessary for passing CFA exams and passing your exams improves your average salary!
  • Congrats to our new charterholders: you've earned it! With the (expected) small cohort for L3 Aug exams, we have updated our latest MPS, as well as discuss what you can do after passing Level 3. 
  • Women's scholarship application is now open: Finally, just to say that the CFA Women's scholarship application window is open until 28 November, with results to be announced on 18 December. Still no news on Access scholarship unfortunately. 

Read, and remember to comment!
