标题: Need help with revision plan [打印本页] 作者: dece2011 时间: 2011-9-25 11:11 标题: Need help with revision plan
Hi all,
I am writing the L1 in December. I done with almost 75% of the syllabus, with Ethics & Derivatives left to study. With my current pace, I expect to finish this by the end of September.
I am studying from the CFAI text / Schweser notes and I just read through the topics for my first pass of study. The problem is that I do not recollect some of the concepts (I think this happens to all of us) and need to revise.
Given that I have the months of October & November for revision, what should be my ideal revision plan? Should I read through the CFAI text/Schweser again, or just solve a lot of questions / bit of both?
Thanks.

Do end of chapters questions, do problems, and occasionally dip back into curriculum when needed. I would not re-read作者: NakedPuts 时间: 2011-9-25 11:32
Do EOC and after, as soon as possible, do your first mock exam. This will definitely help you know how to re-read the material. And after that, redo more mock exams till you can score more than 70% regularly作者: busterbluth 时间: 2011-9-25 11:42
It took me one month for revising the books atleast 2 times from Shweser. I used to do the mock on Sunday and repeat one Shweser book from Monday to Saturday. It helps you out in retaining the major concepts. If I were you I'd have revised the course and then opted for the questions.作者: yalo 时间: 2011-9-25 11:53
Hey everyone,
So after the last 3 months of not being able to enjoy summer I am almost done my first read of the material. I am currently on reading 65 and plan to finish all the material before the end of September. I have done the practice questions from CFA and from Schweser after each reading, was just wondering if there is any other advice people have for review. I'll have about 2 months to review, I work full-time and I didn't want to feel rushed through my review.
I just finished my finance degree with a certificate in economics in June 2012 and started studying in July. Registered in May, but had a few classes to finish up first before hitting the ground running with the study material for Level 1.
I heard to do a complete practice exam before starting to review to try and focus on what you don't know. Anyone tried this and had success?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!作者: cv4cfa 时间: 2011-9-25 12:03
After I had completed my first reading, I gave a revision of 15 days and then appeared for the first practice exam. It really helped me out in gaining the confidence and I had no reason to say myself that the result wasn't good because I didn't revise! I think passing out the exam is a game of nerves which require clarity of concepts, retained information and the desired level of confidence. I remember the major problem which I had, while giving the exam, was to retain my energy level in the 2nd portion of the exam and specifically in the last hour. The stamina to sit in for 6 hours with 2 hours break was my challenge! I would suggest you to first revise and then appear for a practice test to asses your self better. The important thing is its my opinion not a fact, any one can disagree to it...
