This is what the plan is - anybody see any big hurdles here? Too early, too late? Do I need to do the 'Behavioral' twice? It was book with the IPS for Ind/Inst's so I lumped it in there.

This is very similar to the approach I took, at least in terms of the timeline. Having 7 weeks to review, take exams and all that was really important I thought and something I did not have for Level I (first time studying in 10 years so not efficient) and II (December to June turnaround).

FWIW, I felt more prepared for Level 3 than I did for the others (I passed each on first try, thankfully) but I also thought that Level 3 was the hardest exam even though it was the more interesting curriculum.

I would do the CFAI EOC questions twice, once on your first go through and then again during that last ~5 weeks review period.

And finally, yeah do behavioral twice. It is almost guranteed to show up and it's really not that hard if you put in the time.

Looks great jcole.

I never had a problem with ethics so I left it late till I had done the rest at least twice both for L2 and 3.

Thanks much. Appreciate the feedback - I'm hoping for the same result (assuming you passed, which by your post seems like you did). Congrats if that's the case.

This looks pretty solid and it's similar to what I did last year. I started at the same time, allowed myself a break around the holidays and made sure I was done with reading/note taking by mid-April. Some readings didn't take a full week and others I took some more time. Good luck!
