    Hello

     

    Studying for Part 2 exam here in end of February, located in Minneapolis.  Anyone else in the area studying as well?  Mostly been studying at the office after work, but wouldn't mind having a study partner/group to keep each other on track for the remaining weeks leading up to the exam

    I am studying for a retake of Part 2 in February.  Ii's always better to have a few people to go to battle with.  I'm on Eastern time.  Usually study between 6-8PM on weeknights and mornings or mid-evening on the weekends.  

    What does your schedule look like?

    Anita and Caleb,

     

    I Typically study weeknights, from 5-8/9pm central, and Saturdays in the mid-evening as well.  I'm currently working through Section C: Decision Analysis utilizing Wiley's CMA exam prep.  Hoping to be done with the rest of the sections by End of January to spend the last couple weeks reviewing material I don't have down yet.

     

    Not sure what would be best to keep each other connected, efficiently.  I do have Facebook/linked in if either of you or anyone else wanted to connect while we continue to study/prep

    ​Hi Michael-
    Hope you're having a great day! I'm also in MN (Duluth)!! My original plan was to been done studying to test in February; however, that has not happened that way. I'm now planning to test in the Spring. I'm using the Gleim 2018 CMA review. What materials are you using? Any studying suggestions? I' m on part one, unit 3 - Measurement, valuation and disclosure.

    Thanks so much

    ​Hello Michael,

    I am preparing for Part 2 with Wiley.
    I am strong at Sec C Decision Analysis and Section E Investment Decisions. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
    I live in Eastern Time zone.

    Have you done 2C-ES02 Theory question? I have few doubts in that.

    Thanks,
    Yugi Gokavarapu

    Hello

    I have not reached question 2C-ES02 yet.  I am mostly complete with Sec C, Decision Analysis and will be on to Sec D: Risk Management by the end of the week.  I have also found myself to be pretty strong with Decision Analysis as well.  Once  I get to 2C-ES02 I will reach out and see if I can help explain.

    Best of luck with your studying!

    Hi Amy!

    I am using Wiley's review, I passed Part one June of last year.  For me personally, the most effective studying came from the practice exams and going through test bank questions that simulated the actual exam. 

    Other than that I found success of reading the material by each unit and then reviewing all online study materials and practice questions.  Best of luck to you!

    I do not get on Facebook much, so LinkedIn would be better.  I am using the Gleim prep course.  I'm not sure if the material in presented in the same order in both courses, but the context should be the same.  

    If anyone else wants to join the group, I believe you will need to add each member to their LinkedIn in order to see the group messages.

    Hi,

     

    So I've been having an issue with LinkedIn that isn't allowing me to send invites for the group.  The workaround that has been working is to search LinkedIn for the group '2019 CMA Part 2 study group'

     

    From there you should be able to request to be added and I'll go ahead and approve.

     

    Let me know if you have any issues.

    Hello everyone,

    I am also studying for Part 2 which I'm hoping I'll finish in the end of this month and work on test bank questions/reviewing the material. I would like to join the group if you still have a spot. Thank you!

    Hi Michael-
    I am studying for part 2 also, but I am waiting for the next testing window.  I have 2 kids in hockey and I am 100% hockey mom.  In other words, there will be no studying until after hockey season.  I wish you luck on your exam!

    Just sent an invite on LinkedIn if you have room for someone else in the group.  Not sure I'll be able to study in real time, but would be nice to give it a shot or ask questions back and forth!  Thanks, Leigh Ann
