Passed Level 1 - Thanks @David Harper CFA FRM for great videos ! Level 2 seems much tougher though :/ nervous ..

Did anyone else feel that the first 20 and the last 20 problems were a lot easier than the middle sections ? In retrospect I wish I had read the entire paper before starting the exam :( Also, given more attention to hedging with options and less time to Fixed Income ..

Hi, Glad to hear that some people found it easy. Personally I found the test to be very lengthy ( my lack of practicing could be a reason) .. though I spoke with 4-5 people after the test and they all seemed to agree with me. I found the GARP and BT practice tests to be most helpful. One...

Hi @David Harper CFA FRM , PV = FV / (1+r/m)^m.n ---> isnt this the formula to use for monthly compounding with m=12, n=0.25 ? This gives me a different PV Value :/
