Ppl say you can't have a life and hope to pass all 3 levels? Is that true ? I know one guy who passed in like 1.5yrs and barely studied. He had like 3 yrs of experience as a trader. |

maybe - but you'll potentially have a better life after passing the 3 Levels. |

there are those people who say they barely studied and passed anyway. they usually lie about the number of hours they spend studying. its more than you think, its the desire to portray oneself as being very intelligent. anyway, i didn't know jack about finance when i started, i didn't have a life for 5 months on level 1, spent 400 hours. i barely had a life for level 2, spent 4 months and 300 hours and i had a life for level 3 and spent 250 hours in less than 4 months. and i worked a normal job doing all this. people who say they did it in 1.5 years ommit to include the months that they spent studying for the 1st level, so add a good 4 months to your 1.5 years. again, the type of person who lies about the number of hours that 'they didn't study'. anyway, point is that you can have a life, just study using time the most effectively possible. |
