As someone who comes from a background in finance and law (JD/MBA education, and years working in securities and mergers & acquisitions), obtaining a CFA designation was always considered a valuable achievement to excel my career. Before I even took my Level 1 exam, everyone seemed to tell me the same story: “Level 1 is hard, and Level 2 is the hardest, but Level 3 is the easiest.” So when I passed Levels 1 and 2 on the first attempt back-to-back, I thought it was over and that Level 3 wouldn’t be difficult.

Once the Level 3 curriculum books arrived at my doorstep, however, it didn’t take long for me to realize that the notion of Level 3 as the easiest exam was actually a huge misconception. I tried to read the materials and tackle the practice questions on my own, but I quickly realized two things: I wasn’t studying nearly as efficiently as I was in Levels 1 and 2, and my answers to practice problems didn’t seem to improve in accuracy (particularly in the essay writing portion). More importantly, I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t able to improve, or what changes I needed to make in my approach to studying in order to help me improve. To say that all this was extremely frustrating would have been an understatement!

Fortunately, that all changed when Gurmeet reached out to me. Though I was quite skeptical, I decided to meet him anyway. After all, I figured I had nothing to lose by meeting him and just hearing him out. Right off the bat, he was open about how Level 3 is not a conventional exam that someone can successfully study for in the same way as the first two levels. Passing the Level 3 exam requires re-calibrating my approach to studying, and he gave me a glimpse into his process that would allow me to do just that. That process was about understanding not just what answers to write, but how to write them. There are certain nuances that the CFA exam graders look for in your writing, and it’s key to attack them head-on. His lectures went in-depth into the process early-on, and were structured in a way where we would repeat the process over and over again with practice exams that we would send in for him to grade. This really instilled the process as second-nature within us.

Moreover, his notes are structured in a way that once you read a section, you then immediately understand how to apply that reading to a particular example or question. I can’t stress how important this is, as reading notes without applying them immediately after is a waste of time. Gurmeet made sure that we could apply every component of his notes to relevant questions. He focused our attention on what material was important, and helped us avoid any material that was just a distraction. I immediately started to see a significant improvement in both my accuracy and efficiency.

Apart from his proven process, and the practicality and clarity of his notes, what I appreciated the most about Gurmeet is that he prides himself on the success of his students – in the most genuine sense. Many tutors are in this to make an extra dollar, and couldn’t care less about the success of their students. I can’t tell you how many times Gurmeet followed up with me, on his own accord, to see where I was at and where I needed to be. Moreover, he was always available to answer questions whenever they arose. If I was ever slacking, Gurmeet would get me back on track.

I urge all CFA Level 3 candidates to try this process, and give Gurmeet a shot. Make no mistake – this is a hard exam. But it is made much easier with Gurmeet’s know-how and attention to your specific needs and weaknesses, so that you can be setup for success. Once you give Gurmeet and his process a shot, you’ll see right away – as I did – that it just makes sense. I can confidently say that I wouldn’t have been able to pass without him.

Deep 3 with Gurmeet Gill – A Game-Changer!

I’m thrilled to share that I passed the CFA Level 3 exam on my third attempt, thanks to Gurmeet’s exceptional guidance. Deep 3’s comprehensive support ensured I left no stone unturned.

Gurmeet, your encouragement and “ginger” were invaluable. Your reassuring words after the exam – “You worked hard, it should pay off” – stayed with me. Your relentless push and essays feedback helped me stay focused.

The fear of getting an email from you motivated me to complete all essays! Your dedication and expertise made the difference.

I wholeheartedly recommend Deep 3 to retakers. Gurmeet’s structured approach and personalized support are unmatched.

Thank you, Gurmeet, for helping me achieve this milestone.

A dream finally came true!  I planned to retake the CFA Level III exam after a long break of 6 years, however, I had no clue how to prepare, where to start from, and what strategy to adopt to crack the exam. Fortunately, during my search for the preparation guide, I got connected with Gurmeet. He addressed all my apprehensions and fears, and encouraged me to trust the D3 process. I then enrolled in the D3 process, which I believe is one of the wisest decisions of my life – as I finally passed the CFA Level III exam. Gurmeet has a profound knowledge and understanding of the CFA Level III curriculum. He provides all what the candidates need – not only the preparation material (videos and notes), but also the direction and strategy to pass the exam. More importantly, his unconditional support for the candidates throughout this preparation journey further adds to his credentials – as one of the best trainers for CFA Level III exam preparation. Thankyou so much Gurmeet!! I have no words to truly express my gratitude.

As a re-taker, I was desperately looking for something that can help ace my preparation and that’s when I happen to meet Gurmeet/D3. “Trust the process” and indeed, that’s the key for a successful outcome. The D3 process is built with a lot of dedication, experience & thought process that makes this journey fantastic. Gurmeet is literally available throughout to check in, mentor and keep us consistent with the learning. I can’t thank him enough for this success and surely it wasn’t possible to achieve this with preparation time of just 3 months.

After failing L3 twice, I was left feeling very anxious and lost until I decided to reach out to Gurmeet. I will always thank my stars for leading me to him that day. Gurmeet’s personalized approach and study strategy are unmatched. His resources are ALL you will ever need. He preps you to write essays, answers the silliest of doubts, motivates you and lends a listening ear during the struggle. I can’t thank him enough for his help and I will forever be grateful to him for helping me clear this last hurdle within 3 months.

Brazilians,

If you’re reading this, I guess you’re like me—looking for ways to improve your chances of passing CFA Level III.
Believe me when I say that this guy is worth the investment. Gurmeet is a fantastic teacher who will go above and beyond to help you whenever and wherever he can.
If you’re browsing his website and wondering whether it’s worth it, I can assure you it is. He follows a structured method like a “cursinho”, but it’s more than that—he won’t let you have any blind spots as you go through the material.

My final words: just trust the process and feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn.

This was a great class for level 3! And the most essential. In my previous year I did the Wiley platinum course. The result, I ended up for the essay section scoring near the bottom. On my second attempt I took this class and I ended up turning my weakness on the essay exam into my strength and scored in the upper echelon! Level 3 is completely different. You need this class to understand the essay section, and no one other than Gurmeet that I know of is good at teaching this section.

Taking the CFA course with Gurmeet helped me immensely and ultimately contributed to my overall understanding of CFA Level 3 material. I enjoyed how he had set up his course, using direct discussion and exercises to help students learn and understand concepts through application. Amazing course, great instructor and he was super efficient with our time, but also allowed us to ask questions and stay on a topic until we were completely comfortable with it.

I was able to use my studying hours more efficiently and focus on application because of his teachings, which also meant I could get through the massive loads of material faster thanks to Gurmeet’s teaching style. Gurmeet was also always available, so if I was studying and had a question I could shoot off an email and get a response while still in the mindset of that question I was working on. He checked in and followed up to ask about any questions or items I was struggling with – Gurmeet genuinely cared about my progress and helping me to pass the CFA exam.

Overall, I learned so much from him and his teaching style, which ultimately lead to my success in passing the Level 3.

Thanks Gurmeet!”

I can’t thank Gurmeet at Deep3 enough for his exceptional exam prep services. Before I found him, I was overwhelmed with anxiety about my upcoming exams, particularly with essay writing and time management. However, Gurmeet’s expert guidance and tailored strategies helped me overcome these challenges. From day one, he provided comprehensive practice materials and focused on honing my essay writing skills, which was my biggest concern. Their approach instilled in me the confidence I needed to tackle the exam with ease. With their support, I not only mastered essay writing but also mastered effective time management techniques. The ample practice with case studies further solidified my understanding of the topics. Thanks to Gurmeet, I cleared the exam with flying colors. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to excel in their exams.

Trusting Gurmeet’s process and following his guidance was the only key to my success in the exam. With his expertise and support, passing the exam becomes not just a possibility but a certainty.

After failing to pass Level 3 on my second attempt, I knew I needed to find a different and better Level 3 test prep provider. This is how I found Gurmeet. Gurmeet’s process is remarkably tactical and organized. His instruction and feedback on how to write concise structured response questions was an absolute game changer. He’s quick to respond to any questions you have related to the curriculum. His attitude and passion for helping candidates is second to none. He truly cares about the success of his candidates and provides personalized feedback to help you not only pass but pass with margin! So much gratitude for him and the process he’s created. I suggest everyone taking L3 (first timer or retaker) use D3.

I took Gurmeet’s class with a fairly good background in finance.  I was actually teaching CFA exams at a small prep company and was attempting CFA Level III for the first time.  Even so, Gurmeet helped immensely in my preparation.  He has deep knowledge of the CFA Level III curriculum and an exceptional ability to teach.  Gurmeet is especially strong in making concepts as simple as possible.  And to top it off, Gurmeet mixes in tasteful humor to make learning CFA content fun.

I highly recommend Gurmeet’s class for anyone taking the CFA Level III exam.  He can help candidates attain their Charter in a very efficient manner.

I really want to say thanks for helping me pass CFA LEVEL III, as we know the competition is fierce for this final level and you were the deciding factor in contributing to my success.

Your help throughout the process exceeded my expectations heading into this prep course.  You always responded within the hour or less to any question or concern I had. This was especially important in the final preparations, as allocating time is essential.

The amount of time I saved learning your methods can not be overstated.  When you emphasized that you will simplify the complicated, I didn’t realize you would provide us with a step by step sequence to really understand difficult topics like interest rate collars.  This helped immensely on a stressful exam day when I couldn’t think clearly at times.  Your help throughout the months leading up to the exam  were an integral part to my success.  Checking in consistently, to see how we were doing, really made an impactful difference.

The classes always went by quickly and your approach of applying methods rather than just teaching kept everybody engaged.  I honestly feel this might of been the best taught course I’ve taken with regards to approach, efficiency and enjoyment.

Gurmeet, I truly want to thank you for your efforts.  Overall, you helped me save considerable time and really increased my confidence level heading into the final exam date.   I’m so happy to have passed and now can spend more time with my family. It was wonderful having a chance to work with you.  I will recommend you to anyone I know enrolled in the CFA program.  Trust the process – Ball is life!

Sincerely,

Chris Thompson

Even though Deep 3 classes focus on re-takers, I never felt out of place though I was a first time taker. The modules especially on fixed income, derivatives, currency management etc are very well explained, which would have been very difficult to follow otherwise. The notes are also quite handy as memorisation of key points are very important especially for the AM exam. Would recommend to all.

Sujit Prakash

What Our Candidates Say

Participating in the Deep 3 class was the best decision I made in my CFA journey because it enabled me to pass the CFA level 3 with ease as the class is highly interactive and the balance between covering the CFA fundamentals and more complex topics was brilliant. The curriculum is clearly explained with the examples and EOC questions practiced.

Also, Gurmeet is exceptional and willing to answer any questions in class and even after class, this enabled me to learn as much as possible in an environment where I was also in control of the pace.
