One thing I've already realized with this item set format, it doesn't lend itself well to quizzing via computer. You almost need to have a printout of the questions so you can highlight key information and easily refer back to the wording when going thru the questions. This will be an interesting challenge compared to L1 where every question was its own beast. I expect to use a LOT of scrap paper during my prep on printouts of the questions.

Wow they got here fast!
6 Volumes in total
The % weights are below. Ethics isn't as big as in L1, neither is FSA but it looks like Equity jumped up a lot. Good thing this is a strong area for me.

I just registered for Level 2 in 2010. $620 dollars with the discount.
I plan on starting prep as soon as the books arrive, I don't know when Stalla/Schweser will have their courses ready but I expect to enroll in one of them.
I will of course be updating the site more regularly as I go thru the studies. I fully expect Level 2 to be a beast because of the high passing rate this year.
Looks like the passing rate was 46%. That's high, and I'm betting the 3 answers made the difference.
If you're taking it in Dec of this year, watch out, CFAI may not want passing rates this high and may either make the test harder or raise the MPS(minimum passing score).
Let me know how you did. Keep in mind the URL change coming soon.

Due to a copyright issue raised by the CFA Institute I must move this site to a different domain. This should occur over the next week. I will have to vacate this domain so this URL will eventually be non-functional.
I hope everyone is doing well. Results from the June exam should be in shortly and I will be starting my Level 2 preparation in September.
