BCom (Hons) Student Sets CFA Level 2 Benchmark with a 2865/2900 Score via Online Coaching

The higher your career goal, the tougher your journey. 

It is true in the case of Sanya, a student from Jammu, who has secured 2865 marks in her CFA Level 2 exam. She must have clearly burned the midnight oil to turn a daunting challenge into a remarkable achievement.

CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is one of the world’s toughest exams having low pass rates. Its rigorous curriculum tests students for their application-based knowledge. Clearing CFA Level 2, in particular, is considered a significant milestone, making her score exceptional and all the more noteworthy.

What Makes This CFA Level 2 Result Remarkable

CFA is the gold standard qualification in the investment management industry. It is globally recognised for its ethical standards and deep focus on investment analysis, portfolio management, and wealth planning. This makes charterholders highly credible and sought after for senior finance roles in the industry. 

It is a qualification with low global pass rates, ranging from 35-45% for Level I, 40-50% for Level 2, and 45-55% for Level 3. Securing a 2865/2900 Score is unimaginable for CFA Level 2, especially challenging even the most dedicated finance aspirants with case-based questions that test practical understanding.

Achieving a near-perfect score of 2865/2900 is a rare sight. So, she has demonstrated exceptional mastery over complex financial concepts and has set a benchmark for her peers.

It was not just CFA, but an internship at park+, Gurgaon, as well. Along with actively contributing as the President of her college’s Finance and Investment Society while pursuing a BCom (Hons) degree. Excelling in all this rigorous academic work requires analytical thinking, discipline, focus, and strategic planning, which is a rare combination that clearly reflects in her results.

Her Mindset Behind the Milestone

Choosing to pursue CFA itself takes courage, and that too with your other academic commitments makes it a lemon difficult task. Her score is a result of hard work, no doubt, but it was also shaped by a mindset built for challenges.

She was consistent, focused, and understood concepts deeply. She practised whatever she learned; she approached every topic to apply knowledge, rather than just memorising. She took notes and created her own formula sheet. So, learning by doing is crucial for CFA Level II’s application-based questions.

A time came when she had to appear for her college exams and paused her CFA prep. Once done with that, she coped with the latter by studying for 10 hours a day, almost the time when most of us would give up. It clearly shows her resilience that turned a daunting exam into an opportunity to excel.

Her story reminds us that success in such high-stakes exams like CFA isn’t just about studying harder but about studying smarter and maintaining the right mindset throughout the journey.

Expert Guidance That Made a Difference

Sanya is dedicated, and her strategic planning formed the backbone of her success. The right mentorship and guidance played a crucial role in turning her hard work into exceptional results. For that, she showed confidence in edZeb, and their CFA online coaching, known for high pass rates, is led by CA Vikas Vohra, who did not let her down. Attending a demo session made her aware of his practical, application-oriented teaching that goes beyond textbooks, and raised her to shine bright. 

He was always accessible for quick doubt resolution on WhatsApp or over audio calls. His constant support helped her clarify her doubts in real time, practice problem-solving effectively, and stay on track.

Learning from a mentor who blends theory with practical insight helped Sanya approach CFA Level 2 questions with confidence, making her preparation not just about memorisation but real understanding and application. Explaining concepts with examples, discussing case studies, exam oriented approach while teaching have been a few of his USPs. For many students preparing from non-metro cities, this kind of accessible, personalised mentorship is often the difference between attempting the exam and acing it.

Lessons Learned, Advice Given

Behind every achievement, Sanya says, there was a strong support system. Her family played a crucial role throughout her CFA journey. Her mother, being a teacher, supported her academically, and her father, a businessman, supported her financially. Apart from the backing by Vikas sir, her family also provided the emotional encouragement and motivation that kept her momentum going through the toughest phases of preparation. If she can, you can as well, so here is what she believes you, as an aspirant, should do to be like her,

Your regular and disciplined study will always prep you better than the last-minute cramming every time.

You should focus on understanding the concepts and not memorisation. So, choose an institute that teaches concepts deeply to tackle application-based questions effectively.

You should always seek guidance proactively. Do not hesitate to clarify your doubts, as mentors, peers, or structured coaching can make a huge difference.

Juggling college or work alongside CFA prep is possible with planning and persistence.

Believing in yourself boosts your confidence, and perseverance can overcome geography or other constraints.

Try to study for 2 to3 hours everyday but if you cannot do otherwise, do not forget to enjoy life. Go out with friends, watch movies, and join a gym. Do not neglect the other things in your life. Do not make CFA your life. It is just a part of it.

As she now prepares for CFA Level 3, Sanya hopes her journey will inspire others to pursue their goals relentlessly, proving that success is built not just on hard work but also on strategy, support, and self-belief.
