Equity Valuation

I took a practice exam this past weekend. I will go more into passing scores after the exam, but for right now I’ll say that I probably didn’t pass but I’m pleased with my performance. I am reviewing a part of the curriculum every weekday. On the areas I have reviewed thus far, I did well. On the areas I have not yet reviewed I didn’t do as well. Since I am on schedule for the milestones I have set, I am satisfied with that. The idea is for me to spend the rest of this week reviewing equity valuation before taking another practice exam this Saturday. Next week I review fixed income and derivatives and the following Saturday, I’ll take my last practice exam. That means I’ll be done with reviewing the curriculum in about a week and a half.

This week is really special though. If Level 2 was a seven course dinner party, equity valuation would be the main course. Without going into to much detail I’ll say the fundamentals of equity valuation reach throughout the rest of the curriculum so this is by far the most important stuff I have left to review. It is also an area I felt really comfortable in when I learned it 2 months ago. If I can just refresh myself on what I have already learned, equity will be a fun part of the exam for me. This past week I missed passing by 4 questions, and I missed 2 of the equity valuation questions. I am well on my way to where I want to be, but I’m not there yet.

You may not be there yet, but get there you will. Your dedication to getting the charter has been beyond impressive. Not a doubt in my mind that you'll get to were you want to be. As the younger sibling, I don't know if its "my place" to be proud, but daggone it- I'm proud of you!
