Last minute studying is like chasing chickens:
study intercorporate investments
study equity,
oops forgot to review derivatives
study quant
study econ
oops haven't studied corporate finance in a week
more ethics
back to PM
damn, haven't touched Fixed income in a couple days

I'm doing a light review over Fixed Income tonight. Rereading all of Ethics Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, I'm getting a goodluck @#$%& from my girlfriend. If I don't know it after 4 months of straight studying, I'm not going to learn it in one extra night.作者: lucasg85 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37

I totally disagree with the last sentence. I always pick up a couple things the day before the exam. A formula here I forgot, a concept I forgot. That little bit might make the difference between that 1 question that passes or fails you.
Its like those people who don't bring any study material to the exam site (not into the room obviously). Why not? Brush up, and if you realize you are weak on something, quickly check it out and feel confident enough. I study until the last minute.作者: thecfawannabe 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37
I'm down w Pistol Pete Marivich, one of the best basketball players ever
I'm bringing study materials to the center. If they ask some crazy vignette that i get stuck on, I'm gonna study it inbetween sessions b/c CFA has been known to ask the same rough vignette 2x作者: chandsingh 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37

So true! What do you chase chickens with: schweser notes? CFAI books? Homemade flash cards? A bible?作者: bingbingliang 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37

Glad you agree, but really? they'd ask the same vingette twice? that seems ridiculous with all the material - I plan on focusing on whatever they don't ask in the AM over lunch.作者: bdavi77962 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37
no they won't ask the same vignette twice, but they would ask the same material twice
I'm the opposite: I'm gonna focus on what I just got wrong, because they may ask it again作者: llxx 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37
Honestly if you don't know of something specific, I really wouldn't bother trying to go over an entire section unless its ethics past Wednesday.
Friday after 1PM, I am putting everything away.作者: neil1234 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37
I was thinking Pistol Pete Sampras作者: ayodayo 时间: 2011-7-13 16:37
