Equity Valuation carries 10 to 15 percent of the CFA Level 2 examination. Level 2 is delivered entirely as item sets, so this area reaches you as vignettes with four questions each rather than as standalone problems, and the vignette will usually contain more information than any single question needs.
Equity valuation is the largest single area at Level 2 and the one most examiners lean on. Discounted dividend models, free cash flow to firm and to equity, residual income, market based multiples and private company valuation each appear, and vignettes frequently supply data for one approach while asking you to apply another.
This free Set 1 paper is built as vignettes on the real Level 2 format, timed to the pace of the actual exam, with a full explanation on every answer and a report card showing which parts of the area are costing you marks.

You have seen what Set 1 looks like. Sets 2 to 10 are where the real preparation happens: 900 more CFA Level 2 Equity Valuation questions, every one with a worked explanation.
Know precisely which inputs belong to FCFF versus FCFE and which discount rate pairs with each, because mixing WACC with FCFE is the single most common error on this topic. Residual income rewards candidates who memorise the clean surplus relation properly.
The general Level 2 discipline applies here too. Work the vignette before the questions, mark the data you will need, and resist answering from Level 1 memory, because Level 2 rewards application and frequently punishes the answer that would have been correct a year earlier.
