Query on Level 2, 2010, Schweser Notes

[shirley roberts]

Hi

Can someone pls tell me for Level2 2010, what does the entire Schweser
package comprise of?

1. How many books in all? (I have downloaded books 1 to 4 from the
net, but have heard there are more books?)
2. Any software for question banks?
3. Any quick sheeets?
4. Other Schweser accessories?
Anyone got links to all these?

Lastly, are we continuing to post Level 2 queries on this group, or is
there another one? I noticed Ratan created a new group for 2010 Level
1 candidates, are Level 2 candidates continuing to post here?

hi

shirley

I have no idea about level 2 course structure. No. of books, notes, etc.
Have you already started with the level 2 studies?
We can continue with the same group for the level 2 as well.
But the scene will be more clear once the results are out.

Regard,
Tanmay.

Not started studying yet.
I'm just off from a one-month holiday.

I wasn't worried till I read up a few updates from others. There is an update somewhere on this group that someone knows 4 guys who flunked level2 while trying to attempt studying for it in 6 months!

I think its time I got worried and started cracking the books! :) Tough part is getting out of this holiday mode! :) ......and getting hold of the darn notes! Anyone can help on the Schweser study material, please?

I would suggest you guys to start revising the concepts of Level 1 before the exam results.
This would re-inforce the concepts, also 40% of level 2 syllabus is based on level 1 syllabus so you would have to focus on the 60% in the next 4 months.

Many of my friends and I have passed level 1 in december and then level 2 in June so i dont think that it is too difficult but yes you have to keep focus.
All the best for the results!

Thanks Ratan..
have you completed with CFA..??
what material is required for level 2?
is schweser notes sufficient or do we have to refer something else..?

Regards,
Tanmay.

Hello Shirley and All,

 

I also got alarmed bell after reading about those guys who flunked in level 2. Still waiting for result ...but we should start for studies now..........as i have seen the course its really very lengthy...... and require lot of concentrationa and attention

 

Hard work and at least 2-3 times f reading for the entire course vl be required thats for sure.....

 

I have seen Schweser...

they have in total 7 books (5 on course and 2 on Practice papers) along with quick sheet.....

Video CD's and test bank Schweser Pro.

 

 

Lot have to be covered............. best of luck to all..for L1 result.....

Regards,

Anuj Jain

[Ratan Gupta, FRM]

Thanks Tanmay, I passed CFA in June 2007, there are lots of changes in the syllabus.
I feel that you should refer to both CFA material and Schweser material, sometimes Schweser is too concise and you should read from CFA book. But please make sure to solve all the problems from CFA book.

Thanks,

Welcome and ditto to you! :)

[shirley roberts]

Ratan,

 

Are the concepts in Level2 any harder than in Level1? Reason I am asking is, I had attended some classes for level1, but I believe  I could have managed by self-study itself. Now for Level2, I'm in doubt on whether I need to take up the additional cost of a tutorial.

 

(I'm in Kuala Lumpur, so I cant join your tutorial! It will be someone else!! :)  )

 

Request your urgent reply.

[Ratan Gupta, FRM]

Hi Shirley,
my apologies for the late reply.
Level 1 is broad based but level 2 is more focussed, so definitely
some of the concepts are difficult than level 1.
like level 1 , level 2 preparation can be done purely through self-
study.
But you need to devote time and keep the focus.

Some of the areas which you need to prepare well in level 2 are:-
-> Financial reporting - Pension, multinational transactions
-> derivatives - Swaps
-> Equity valuation - advanced valuation techniques like FCFF, EVA
-> Quant -> Regression

But i would say that around 30-40% of the syllabus is overlapping so
if you keep focus, u will not have difficulty to sail through

Thanks
Ratan
