Peaking to Early? ensuring, problems, studying, process, started

IAmNeil

Hi

Ok here's the problem. I started studying in August 09 straight after I got my level one results (above 70 in all sections by the way). I started from the CFA texts and went through every page in detail writing notes and doing every EOC problem ensuring I had mastered every detail. By Jan 2010 I had finished with over 500 pages of notes. Since then I moved on to Schweser and did almost the same process rewriting my notes and doing all the EOC problems. I managed to get my notes down to 240 pages and completed them at the beginning of April. Since then I've all the practice exams I can get my hands on and have been averaging 94% including all of Schwesers question bank. I estimate I have done around 1100 hours study. I also have a PhD in yeild curve analysis.

So my question is with a month to the exam have I peaked too early?

Well I was suspicious after the word 'yeild', but I didn't really think about it too much. Good show sir!

There probably are people out there that are scoring like this. They're called virgins.

its the less than 50% on 2 areas - that will kill you - gotta at least get 51% on each vignette...

Can you get a PhD in yield curve analysis? I am pretty sure someone wrote this as a joke or has a very low quality earnings.

Ok ok you got me. More like just over 200 hours, 150 pages of notes, No PhD and I havent even sat a practice exam.

Just having a laugh really.....

Good luck everyone. One more month until we get our lives back!

Bob - What are your practice test scores?

Bob is definitely not the only one. There are other much more subtle posts out there. I say next time we catch someone trying to be cute we go up in arms and call them out- Greece style (figuratively speaking of course).
