CFA Level 2 Item Sets Distribution
Durbin-Watson. Breusch-Pagan. White. Pastor-Stambaugh. Hanson. Fama-French. Dickey Fuller. So many names! So little time!!! (Can you remember which names don’t belong in the group?)
I’m just thinking about the format of Level 2 exam. There will be 20 item sets of 6 questions each. If we look at the topic area weights, the topic weights vary (e.g.: Equity can be 20 – 30 percent). Let’s assume that one item can only cover one area. This brings the approximate number of items for each area to be like this:
Critical:
- Financial Reporting & Analysis 4
- Equity Valuation 4
Important:
- Ethics 2
- Corporate Finance 2
- Fixed Income 2
- Derivatives 2
Not critical:
- Quantitative Methods 1
- Economics 1
- Alternative Assets 1
- Portfolio Management 1
Hmmm. Of all these, I haven’t read Fixed Income at all. I’m gonna concentrate on reading through Fixed Income this week then.
