Hi! My name is Sanchi, and I am a CFA Level 3 survivor. Whether you’re just about to wet your feet in the pool of Level 1 resources or are straight up drowning with a 12-hour job + level 3 prep while trying to retain those handful of friends you have left, you can probably use some help or at the least revel in the fact that you’re not alone.

Over the past few years I have received many, many messages regarding how to really go about preparing for this exam which is arguably debated to be [among the most difficult in the world](https://www.collegesearch.in/articles/toughest-exams-in-world#:~:text=The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA,countries seek to pass CFA.).

While there may or may not be substance to that statement, a common mistake that level 1 freshers and even level 3 candidates (aka me in November 2021) make is giving into the hype and putting this exam on a sky high pedestal which is an easy recipe for feeling anxious, overwhelmed and pressured. So from one survivor to another - breathe. You are going to do just fine. There are 8 billion people on this planet, 8 planets in the solar system, thousands of solar system in the Milky Way, and billions of Milky Way like galaxies in the universe, so yeah taking the CFA exam shouldn’t be that big of a deal. 💁🏼‍♀️
