CFA Level 2 Final Review: Your Last Month Before the Advanced Analysis Exam
The finish line is in sight, but the last month before your CFA Level 2 exam can feel intense. Your mind might race with questions: "Have I mastered complex valuation models? What if I forget the residual income formula or can't analyze case studies quickly enough on exam day?" Relax. Our CFA Level 2 Final Review page is here to help you focus on item-set mastery, review systematically across asset valuation, financial statement analysis, and portfolio management applications, and walk into the exam room with complete confidence in your advanced investment analysis skills.
Techniques for Mastering High-Priority Topics
Create Mind Maps
For complicated CFA Level 2 topics like equity valuation models, fixed income credit analysis, or derivatives strategies, draw a mind map. Put the main valuation approach in the center, add branches for different models like DDM variations, and fill in key formulas and assumptions.
Teach Someone Else
Explaining CFA Level 2 topics like residual income valuation, credit spread analysis, or portfolio construction to a friend or study buddy helps you understand advanced investment analysis better yourself.
Focus on Past Mistakes
Go through your old CFA Level 2 item-set questions and note where you made mistakes in areas like asset valuation, financial statement analysis, or derivatives. Focus on not repeating those errors in complex case analysis.
