Don't waste too much time there and move on. I hate Econ, all these charts were just chinese to me. I don't know how many times I complained here abt it. On mock exams I used to score randomly good or bad, with no clear trend. On exam day, i found the AM session sooo easy, but the PM session just killed me. I was sure I'll score around 50% in Econ, but somehow, i think I just killed the morning session since I managed to get over 70% in Econ, good surprise.
So don't waste too much time there, move on and come back at the end. Focus on big beasts like FRA, Quants, FI or equity

I started with economics and am Still in economics. This thing is like rocket science for me. I hope the other readings would be easier.

I find writing a notes and drawing charts helpful.

I agree with Sgupta. There is an important point to know about this exam is that as you go through the curriculum, your brain get tired. So it's better to start with big topics and master them. If I had to set an order, I'll say Ethics as early as possible (even if many suggest to read it at the end) FRA, Quants, FI, Equity, Corp fin, Deriv, PM, AI, Econ

Done with Ethics, Quant and half of Econ.

But I've been stuck on FRA for quite a while now

Looking to finish FRA in a week or so. I am following the recommended plan and should have about 2 months for review
