It's a long one - but many many questions asked and answered about the level 3 program and the exams.

    I passed the L1 and L2 on my first attempt on my own (self studied). Agree with Mark it is descriptive as I did tons of mocks. Tried the same process for L3 and failed twice. My main issue was my answering technique for the AM paper even though I had the knowledge. On my 3rd attempt, I used MM materials and mimicked the way he applied and answered the AM questions and passed the Aug 2022 exam :)

    I recently passed Level 3 and could not recommend the tutoring service Mark talks about more highly. I used 2 hours for fixed income, for me the most difficult, and it really paid dividends in terms of developing a real understanding from a recent graduate of CFA program. The great part of the service is that the tutors identify their areas of expertise. For example, tutor I hired was a fixed income trader and really took me into how manages duration across a portoflio and bullet/barbell positioning and WHY that is done in FI PM.
  • Loved the Q&A Mark. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

    **For Mark Meldrum** : Hi Mark, I have been trying to find a way to directly message you but I thought, why not to share my thoughts and gratitude here. I just got the CFA Level III result today, lo and behold... I passed. After hours from that last CONGRATULATIONS email, I am still in shocked, can't believe the journey is over. I passed all three levels with the help of your videos, your voice has been part of my life for the past FIVE years... (Honestly I am so happy I do not have to watch those videos anymore and hear your voice in my sleep LOL). But yeah, THANK YOU, you are amazing and I couldn't possibly be thankful enough. With English as my second language, your videos speed the learning process for me, and made the comprehension process naturally possible. I am so HAPPY I came across your videos on Youtube for level 1 years back. Honestly it would not have happened without your help. THANK YOU!

    Hi Dr. Mark, I will be finishing all of CFA L3's curriculum by Nov 20th once with EOC questions, learning ecosystem questions, a good % of your website questions as well et cetera. Could you kindly advise me on whether I should start the review right away or take some time before I start the review process. The exam is on Feb 3rd week. So, since the decay rate is pretty fast for short-term memory, what is the best way to go about this? Thank you!!
  • Hey Mark, at timestamp 47:22 you mentioned 40 hours of live exam walk throughs on your site. I have an active membership for the February 2023 L3 exam, but can't seem to find those videos? Would you mind clarifying where we can find those or when they will be available? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Mark, this question keeps coming to a lot of candidates writing the Level 3 exam. Does inputting a formula and showing partial steps to a calculation give you partial marks even if the answer is incorrect?
