As many others have said, be prepared to work a lot...lot harder than you did for level I.
Level one, I studied usually 3-4 weekdays for 2-3 hours at a pop. Started in early Sept and sat for the Dec. exam. Mainly watched videos and Qbank. One day per weekend would go to the library and study for 3-6 hours. Final three weeks, I increased my study time to 4 weekdays per week and both weekend days. Passed first attempt.
Got my results in late January, started studying for Level II. After about a week, I realized that sticking to the same less intense studying schedule was not going to be enough because the material was SO MUCH DENSER. I think there's actually fewer pages [or fewer books] of material for level II than level I, but it's just much much harder.
Anyhow, I upped my study schedule pretty significantly. From Feb-early May, I got up an hour and a half earlier so I could get in an hour+ of studying before work. Studied after work almost every day at the library. Used the videos I bought from Schweser but also read the texts front-to-back. Weekends meant a minimum of studying 3-5 hours both days. Starting in May, I upped the pre-work studying to every day and spent every day at the library afterwards for at least a few hours. Weekends meant library from when I woke up [usually later, maybe 9:30 AM wakeup, library by 11] till it closed at 5.
After all that, I'm still not confident that I passed. Don't let this get you down; passing the level II exam is not impossible, as thousands of people struggle through it every year. But it's many orders of magnitude tougher than level I, at least for me. |
