Hey fellow CFA Level 2 candidates for the May exam! I’m curious about how everyone’s study journey is going. With only three weeks left, I’m feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. What’s your game plan for this final stretch? Are you focusing on practice questions, reviewing weak areas, or diving into mock exams?
I’ve been trying to balance my time between all three, but it’s tough! Some days I feel confident, other days not so much. Anyone else experiencing the same rollercoaster of emotions?
Let’s share our strategies and maybe pick up some last-minute tips from each other. Remember, we’re all in this together, and with hard work and determination, we can crush this exam!
What’s been your most effective study method so far? Any particular topics giving you trouble? Let’s chat and support each other through these final weeks!

Hey there, SwimmingDolphin. I’m in the same boat as you, feeling the pressure with just three weeks remaining.
My plan has been to focus primarily on mock exams because they really help identify the areas that need extra work. In particular, Fixed Income and Derivatives have been challenging, so I’ve broken down the tougher concepts into smaller sections to make them more manageable.
I’ve also started using the Pomodoro technique—25 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break—to keep my concentration sharp and avoid burnout. Let’s push through these final weeks and give it our best shot!
