Well I have finally finished all of the learning for Level 3 and the entire cirriculum. Now all I have to do is demonstrate a third of it in a month. This is actually my favorite part of the entire process. I don't have to learn a lot, I just get to review and work on practice questions. Of course this year is special because my next step is to start reviewing on the very first day that I am an MBA student. I am going to face hell over the next month.
Before I begin though I am going to take my first full length practive exam today. I actually don't expect to pass or even do particularly well. I haven't really reviewed a lot yet so the goal is to just try and get a baseline so that I can track my performance and hopefully improvement over the next month. I will keep you updated on my score in a few days.

T-minus 10 days...
I apologize for not posting in several months, but I have been busy so I wrote several posts in Word but for some reason, the computer won't let me copy and paste text.
Anyway, I am now on my last study session on measuring investment performance. Not surprisingly, one of the last sessions is one of the most difficult. Part of the reason is that it isn;t as intuitive as some of the others. Most of the others build on things from previous levels. This doesn't, so I'm not expanding my knowledge base in a particular area. On top of that, it's warm out which makes every fiber of my being want to review. I learn when it's cold and review when it's warm. When it's hot I wait for the results. On top of that I begin my MBA program in 12 days, and the anticipation is absolutely a distraction.
10 days from now will be a red letter distraction. I will have completd session 17 and have officially learned everything that a CFA charterholder is expected to know. I must still spend a month on review and then demonstrate that I have the knowledge, but it will be nice to say that I will have completed the education. I'll probably celebrate by getting a chili dog.
