I'm at LII but all I can tell you is GET IT DONE
Don't feel discouraged cause you are starting late
If someone was taking LI for the FIRST time, and they started this weekend, they will still pass if they want it bad enough
You already seen the stuff, you will be fine

best of luck

Hey Guys,

I'm also a retaker, and I want to start with Economics, but my head really is rejecting it, like it's saying, " I don't want to read Economics!"

The thing is, I was band 8 last December heavily because of that damn Economics! <50%. Arrgghh! I'm a CPA, and thought FSA and Corp Fin I'd be fine. So that's what really happened in the actual exams last December. I ended up doing fine for FSA, Corp Fin, Ethics, Quanti and Equity Inv. Yet Econ is <50% and Fixed Income and Port Mngt is between 50 to 70%.

Really, like seriously, I don't know why I hate looking at those graphs! I can't even remember how I passed my econ subjects in college.

Also, I can only start studying this saturday coz of work. Still very busy with all these year-end stuff.

I'd appreciate if you guys post your progression and your study plan, at least that gives me an idea where to start. Right now, I'm just kinda all over the place, and it's barely 2 months before the exams - panic mode!

I am probably going to start with Fixed Income. It's the only thing I failed last time out

If you guys don't mind sharing, I'd be curious as to why you guys think you failed the test?

Did you feel you were prepared but the questions threw curve balls at you or were you possibly not as prepared with all the material as you probably should have been? Did you feel this way going into the exam?

Really appreciate any responses to this.

@cfabuzz - thanks for the goodluck, i badly need it. Think the best approach for me is to read it 3 or 4 times this time. I also struggle with the Monetary and Fiscal policy, esp when they start talking about demand pull inflation, etc and they add all graphs to make the explanation simpler (which makes it the opposite for me)... or maybe i just hate looking at graphs.

Goodluck to you too!

@retakers. I'm new to AF and hope you can provide some feedback. Similar to what Guy said, I'm interested in learning about the things that you did the first time and why they did not result in a pass. The reason I ask is b/c I am registered for the exam in June. I've only completed SS 2, 3, 7 and 8. I feel I'm running out of time and would love to hear what you would have done/and are doing differently.
@gulfcfa. I appreciate the 'can get it done' attitude. Any feedback you have for me would be much appreciated. I work in finance and have a decent grasp of equity, FI and portfolio mgmt. I hope to finish SS 9 and 10 by end of next week and the rest is up for grabs!
Thanks everyone.

@Cindrella - you got company here for sure. Got a Band 10 in december and retaking the exam. Starting prep from this weekend..

Would only be reading the Scwheser Notes and would start with Equity at least for this weekend.
