Done studying... started, planning, studying, through, secret

Hi All,

I started early for Dec 09 and I will be done studying this week. I am planning to do 2 more revisions by end of October and I want to focus only on exams for the whole of November.
I used Schweser notes for studying the whole time except for Ethics which I used the CFA book. As part of the second revision, I want to go through the notes again and use Qbank after every topic. For the third revision, I want to use the Schweser secret sauce book.

Does this sound like a good revision plan? I would really welcome your input on this and please let me know if I need to do things differently.

Thanks a lot!!

Sounds like a decent plan- you need to go over everything a few times to actually be able to remember it. You'll notice you forgot a lot when you review everything.

Your third review should be the same as your second review, although it should take less time (more comfortable with the material, skip things you already know, etc.)

The secret sauce is good, but should only take 1-2 days to get through, so I'd make it your 'fourth review', as it doesn't take that long.

Spending November on exams is the right idea.

Good luck!

sbmarti2, Thanks for your input.

I understand you should take as many practice exams as possible in November. I work full-time and I can spend 6 hours a day on a weekday and planning to take off the last week of November. But realistically, how much is possible? 20 maybe?

Thanks!

yea you're finishing waaay too early. The goal is to have read all the material by about 10th so that you can spend a solid 6-7 weeks reviewing and taking mocks and doing QBANK.

Hi sbkrish76.. Just would like to know how far have you reached with Qbank. Have you been using it while studying or you just plan to do it while revising

Thanks

Supersunny138,

I actually been using it for the topics I couldnt understand or couldnt just get it. But I plan to do every Qbank for every topic while revising.

Thanks!

omg your'e done? jeez! that's great. How confident are you that you understand the concepts?
Definitely Qbank i heard is the best to review and nail the exam.

My God!!! Now I really feel like a slacker: I've only completed Ethics and should be completing Quants in the next day or two. I'm hoping you're just being more safe than sorry. Otherwise I'm in hot water.
