I have never took off before the actual exam but I usually don't study the day before. This year I am taking 1 month off (actually quitting my job early) so I can pass and then start grad school.作者: bodhisattva 时间: 2011-7-13 16:55

3 days hollar.作者: bboo 时间: 2011-7-13 16:55
0 days. I took a week off for my first stab at L2 and it didn't really do much for me.
My logic is that by the last week I should pretty much be prepared and a few extra days isn't going to make or break me passing this thing.
Though taking the day off before could make sense just to let yourself relax.作者: strikethree 时间: 2011-7-13 16:55

week off in Portugal end of April作者: Darien 时间: 2011-7-13 16:56
think about how much you can memorize short term in two extra days. you could memorize at least 6 long formulas if that is all you worked on a majority of those days.
Short term memory is a fascinating concept to me. I was surprised last year that I was able to recall a few formulas I found in the material that I hadnt see (in CFAI text) the thursday before the exam. This came up on the exam and I remembered it, but couldnt remember it a couple days past that. I think the closer we get to the exam, the more time you should put in up until Friday.
everyone is different though. to each their own作者: lcw77 时间: 2011-7-13 16:56
I wish I could take at least a couple of days.....I am sure it would help...but hey..didn't take more than half a day before and here I am...I guess....it wouldn't hurt to take few days off, but by then, either you are prepared...or you are not.
