Alright guys - we're drawing close to the end of the line for our June warriors. Get fired up for the last week - you have an exam's ass to kick soon!
We've been reminding you so often about your free CFA Institute paper that our regular readers must be rolling their eyes right about now... But if you haven't log into your CFA Institute account and get them. If you're looking for more practice papers, you can get some free ones and others at great discounts through our Reviews and Offers page.
We will be running our Weekly Workshop series for 1 more week. Remember to check out our forum to look at the full (and increasingly thorough) list of topics we've covered so far (Level I, Level II and Level III covered, as well as Careers and General CFA), but here are the weekly picks that will be useful to go through before you hit the actual exam.
