grharmeyer -- it sounds like you are definitely on track, and way ahead of many people who are just going through the notes for the first time.
as many other people have said, for the most part it's not the difficulty of the material that sees people fail, it's the volume. therefore you need to make sure you are studying in a manner that helps you retain as much as possible. this will be different for everybody.
in order to be doing CFA you must have a degree, therefore have experience with studying for big exams. what worked for you then? personally i find flashcards extremely helpful, and taking notes as opposed to just reading. but I know others prefer watching videos and other techniques.
just make sure you are being honest with yourself about your understanding of the material and your ability to remember it. Can you do most of the EOC questions after studying a chapter? if you go back to them a week later, can you still remember how to answer them? -- focus your study on improving your weak spots, not revising stuff you already know (this is definitely a trap i fall into, especially when feeling tired).
lastly: assuming 70% is enough to pass this exam, you can afford to get 36 questions wrong per exam session -- ie 72 overall -- and still make it through. you do NOT have to get absolutely everything right.
So chill out a bit, and focus on studying rather than worrying. A bit of fear is good in that it motivates you to work hard, but don't let it get to the point where it's hindering your progress.
good luck .
