actually, i'm overwhelming. my wife decided to start the renovation of the house today and the contractors are working while i'm working from the basement. How do i survive for the last week before the exam?

I feel like i dont know anything. I know thats not true as ive done well on mocks (avg like 78 after 5 mocks, including that schweser one that was ridiculous). But i just keep doubting myself. I thinking thats normal. Just gotta keep going till the big day.

We all freak out. Anyone who doesn't feel some level of anxiety now is overconfident and will most likely bomb the sh!t out of the exam.

I suppose.....freaking out in a controlled manner. Just need to keep it together

'Slowly freaking out' is much better than, say, 'quickly freaking out'.... Yikes.

Prepped for this exam for approximately 4 months, the strategy was to quickly go through schweser without solving anything, just understanding the concepts, followed by a second round of review coupled with EOCs. the third round focused on redoing all the EOCs again. im now at the stage of doing mock exams and brushing on weak areas.

I agree, burnout is major issue, i think keeping a good excersise schedule is critical. today im taking the day off because tommorow im gonna simulate exam day with 6 hours of the dreaded CFA sample exam!!

Started in back in mid-Feb, maybe it would have been better if I started as soon as I got my books last year...

I was burning out last week and I took 48 hours off and didn't touch a note or think about the exam at all. I went from making stupid mistakes and screwing things up (gettin 50-60 on exams) to sitting down with fresh momentum and scoring in the 70's and 80's. I don't know what or why but a day or two off to just clear my head made a world of difference.

Yeah, havent used Qbank for level 2 as well, dont it's as useful.

The problem is recalling all this info and not going blank. Think I need to memorize some more formulae and just keep going at it. Though it's hard when your confidence is just not there.

I just hope I dont burn out before the big day, though it kinda feels like I already have.
