Ive watched about 80% of the Schweser vids...

After L1 and L2, i decided rereads and notes are a waste of my time. The way my brain works, all the reading in the world doesn't approach the effectiveness of practice questions.

I plan on finishing the Schweser vids in the next week or so, then going and doing the whole qbank and Schweser eoc's. Hopefully ill kill that by then end of march. Then the rest wlll be CFAI EOC's and practice tests.

Don't try to memorize tax formula that's brutal... like David H said in Stalla lecture just try to get the concept and do it like a simple math then it will be much easier...it helped me!

absolute machine.

I've got approx. 300 pages left from my 1st pass. I had scheduled myself to be done by Jan 31st, but I don't think I'll make that. 300 pages in 1 night is a lot for me.

2nd pass I will study the examples, make note sheets and do all EOC's. Hopefully I can complete that by end of April and then review for the last month.

The curriculum is not as difficult as level II, but I fear the questions are going to be brutal. I just hope I have enough in my head on test day not only correctly, but also quickly.

Having issues getting adjusted to the essay format, especially in relation to IPS formulation. I look at the answer I wrote down and compared to the guideline answer, there are a lot of key points that were missing. Some of the tax formulas are also a PITA to memorize.
