Used this approach for Level 1 in December and level II in June - both passes. This is in order so feel free to back track the time to map it to a calendar if you'd like:
Read Schweser study notes and do EOC questions from Schweser only -- Took about 3.5 Months. --- Didn't want to burn out. Usually read for about 1.5 hours a weeknight and 8 hours on the weekend. I didn't take any notes as I read
Qbank questions and 2 half mock exams -- 2 weeks. This builds a solid base of remembering the material and lets you see where you are. Its important to unclick the basic questions in Qbank if you are using it. They are a waste
CFAI EOC questions and 2 half mock exams per week - 3 weeks. This gets you a deeper understanding. The mock exams ensure that you are still focusing on all of the material atleast twice a week, while the EOC questions give you a deeper dive into material you need more help with.
Schweser videos / QBank / Schweser Flashcards / EOC Questions and Mock Exams - Final 3 weeks. The Schweser videos provide you with a different way to review/hear the material, and importantly a slight break from reading and doing questions so you don't burnout. The flashcards again provide a different way to review. I found these much more helpful to use after seeing 3-4 examples of an LOS in question review. If I had studied the flash cards earlier I would have spaced out every other card. With the examples of questions in my head, these were fairly easy to concentrate on.
I should note that during my 8 weeks of review is the only time I started taking notes. I had a different sheet that I'd post on my wall for each subject. Before taking any mock exam I quickly reviewed the wall. The most important part of my studying by far was reviewing questions that I had gotten wrong, or guessed and gotten correct, and adding that material to the notes. Little by little you chop down the material you don't know. The Wall of Notes was also important because it helped to show that you are learning more and more each week. I was convinced that if I took 6-7 full mock exams, plus Qbank questions, and added material I didn't know to my notes, the only step left would be locking down the Wall of Notes. So far 2-2.
If you want to save on time, I would cut down the reading part in the beginning. I really believe that the reading section is more to see how hard the review is going to be and what sections you'll need to spend more time on. By the time you are done reading, you'll have forgotten 85% of what you read. The review is where you learn. I'd consider my approach the "lazy" approach because with everything I did, I only ended up with about 6 pages of notes instead of a bookfull like some of my friends.
