Hi Ravinsu,

I figure that if I watch the video first I am going to cheat when it comes to studying the CFAI notes and just skim through them rather than actually read and try to understand every detail. MY main goal is going to be to understand the notes fully and then use the video as a review or in case I am having trouble understanding any of the material.

I am actually pushing my studying back until starting on Thursday, have a job interview coming up and would like to keep my mind focused on one thing at a time.

I'm going through these same issues, but of course have not studied long enough and have plenty of time left. Will probably have to go over the material a couple of times before it all stocks. I think the first time I finished econ and quant only about 65% of it stuck. I'm pretty strong in FSA, FI, EQ, Alt, PM. Econ and hypothesis testing probably my main weakness. Hypothesis testing, the main issues right now are just knowing WHEN to use a certain table. It's easy to use the table, but just finding i guess the key words in the question, to find the right table to use. Still have 4 months. Gonna check out Elan's hypo testing freebie

Yes, it is the case from what I hear. Which should help some. Let me know your strategy for Econ. There are so many graphs to remember.

Registered for level one on December and just started studying last week! I graduated with a economics degree and have the Elan Ultimate prep package. I find the hardest part to be sitting down and focusing for two or more hours consistently everyday, but I'm forcing myself to do it.

Once I started studying, I feel like 4 months of time isn't really enough. Anyone else feel the same? =/

+1 its not really hard material, just a lot of it. Did 50 pages last night after work of schweser FSA section, cash flows, going through all the ratios types, dupont, extended dupont, EOC's, worn out. Gonna have to go over this material multiple times to remember it all. I work about 10 hrs, then get home and study 3-4 hrs when I get home. Must be efficient with time.
