For those studying for cfa lv2 may 2024, did you complete the “my practice skills modules” before starting the curriculum, in the middle of your studies, or do you plan on taking it after the exam? I’m interested in the “python programming fundamentals” module. For those that are also taking this module, I’m curious how many years of Python experience do you have? Thanks in advance and let’s crush this exam!
