Hello, welcome to my blog on how I passed all three levels of the CFA exams. This blog is created to document my personal experience and some study tips with the intention to provide support to current candidates while they go through this journey. You are not alone, keep grinding the LOS's and you can pass one exam at a time. The blog is currently under construction, come back and check it out for more posts.

To respond to comments
Thank you for all the comments. I will leave this feature on to ensure there’s a communication channel and for me to better construct this blog in terms of content and possible offerings. You can also create email notifications or contact me through the contact form to the left.
I was going to create a separate link for my personal intro but due to popular demand, I think it is worth the space here and taking a moment to tell you a bit about myself and my overall experience in conquering the CFA exams. To first answer your question, yes, I passed all levels of the CFA program and I am expecting the charter to come through shortly after September.
For level 2, I had roughly 3 months to study while working full time, passed at first attempt. This is nothing to brag about. I believe anyone can pass this exam at their first attempt given proper guidance on the material, planning, exam taking techniques and most of all, your hard work. I will get into the details on these topics in later articles.
I think the purpose of this blog is to provide some positive energy to candidates out there studying hours and hours every day, some of you work full time as I did for each and every level and feel like it never ends. I shared this frustration and now sharing my thoughts on the web hoping someone will benefit from it.
I will try to post as often as I can, but can’t guarantee publishing on a daily basis given a busy schedule at work and other initiatives I am taking at the moment. I would urge you to read my article after each scheduled study session or when you are taking a break to recharge mentally, don’t try to read all of my articles at once as this was important to me when I wrote my exams to seek for some external support from time to time.
At last, if you have not done so, please send me your feedback by participating in my poll on the left-hand side of the page. Lunch break over, back to work.

Thanks a lot. Your blog rick big time ! You must be a professor or have some academic background ? I love all your post, especially the strategy one and the post on bonds! Very well structured. Your explanation with the scenario is like a story that help me to understand so I won't forget the concept. Great blog!
