Schweser Book 5 planning, schedule, weekend, average, trying

joehogue

So I am finally going to start Schweser Book 5 over the weekend, took a peak at it and realise there's a lot of stuff in there. Just trying to gauge how long it takes on average to cover that book...any ideas ppl? Want to start planning my revision schedule so wanted to know a rough estimate. Thanks!

First reading is not crazy, and GIPS is annoying but not crazy either. The middle part is what bogs me down (performance evaluation).

performance evaluation is nasty bro, its the nastiest thing Ive ever seen in a CFA book.

Hmmm would u guys say that 5 full days of studying is enough to cover book 5? Or more is necessary?

Amen. I barely made a dent into the Global Peformance evaluation chapter. It might be the 1st subject I ever had to punt.

Most likely it's gonna be a decomposition problem that requires a ton of calcs. I rather explain what is trying to be accomplished by conducting the attribution analysis.
