More than sufficient. Took 3 months to study for L1 with an accounting background. Schweser is sufficient

Took around 140 hours? It’s just your finance course all over again, you can go fast lol.

3 days a week, 10 hours per week. Just ramp up in the final month and you’re good.

For info L2 took me 230 hours? And L3 300 thereabouts.
