i was not sure,until a day back, that my way is effective enough to see me through this exam...

and now since i have passed i have automatically gained right to advice eveyone who is preparing for the exam作者: Elliotbay 时间: 2011-7-13 13:40 标题: For Level 1 Candidates
I felt that I should post these points regarding my preparation; I hope that u may benefit from it:
1-I started in mid Jan, 400 hrs out of which 200 for solving, 100 for reading and making notes, 100 for watching videos....
2-If u are committed, feel desperate enough to get this charter, make all the effort u can, sure u will pass, no shortcuts.
3-Be smart don’t try to do what exceeds your capabilities, if u you feel that u need rest, go and take it. actually I almost wasted like 3 weeks just because I wasn’t in a good mood to study ,but any way I did have to compensate for this lost 3 weeks by studying for an average of 7 Hrs per day in the last three weeks .
4-Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,Solve ,.....I solved 6000 MCQ ,14 Sample exam ,.......
5-Take full advantage of this forum, especially in the last month, people are helpful some of them post questions (Damil4real) , some post shots of motivation (Cfatown and others discuss .......
6-Dont let boring subjects (like Economics) blow your way, actually I went into the exam with 50 % of the economics not studied. (I do not ADVICE U TO DO THAT)
7-Failling to exceed 70% in FSA will make your probability of passing lower, believe me FSA is not that hard just solveeeee.
8-Always remember u need to get 70 %, i.e. if your are not grasp the Taxes part, dont worry not a big deallll.
Nine-for the Ethics part, read understand then read then solve, solve, solve ...you will never be able to memorize....
10-Formulas are not for memorizations, just understand and solver over and over.
11-I kept a routine of taking 1 day off every week...
12-If u are overconfident that u will pass, then probably u will fail.
13-Belive me this was a great experience, even if u fail in the first attempt at least u tried, still were brave enough to try ...
14-I believe that my success was a result of my commitment , my wife’s help and patience , my friends wishes , my parents prayers and all AF members that either motivated or helped me when I needed
By way sorry for the terrible English but I hope u will understand….作者: Daniel1985 时间: 2011-7-13 13:40
parac0da, thank you for sharing you plan of study/approach.
You mentioned that you completed 14 sample exams. Other than than the Schweser ones, could I ask which were the others you utilized?

When I was preparing for LI, I was glad that I could find blogs and forums where people shared their experience. I took over a lot.
I saw couple of them and they are rather similar to parac0da's. I would add, if you dont mind, one point:
Make a study plan.
And I agree, that solving questions and problems is the way how to learn this all, reading twice or three times helps but questions are the key.作者: Flok 时间: 2011-7-13 13:40
QUESTIONS ARE THE KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO EVERY SINGLE CFAI question in the back of the texts, and hit QBANK like you would a line of columbia's finest! QBANK is your J-O-B during studying.作者: kd26gioi 时间: 2011-7-13 13:40
