Aggressive study timeline outside, journey, material, everyone, activity

water2012

Hello everyone,

Started this journey about a week ago and thought I share my plan of study summary into the Dec '09 exam:

- CFAI (All examinable material and questions from the 6 volumes)
Begin July 20th
End Oct 18th

-Schweser (All material from the 5 volumes and Secret Sauce)
Begin Oct 18th
End Nov 12th

- Schweser (Videos, Q bank, 11 sample exams)
Begin Nov 12th
End Nov 29th

As you can see, CFA will own me for the next 4 months as I will be giving up any activity outside of work. This means 2 hours of study each weeknight and continuous study all weekend long. I will also be on annual leave from work at the latter part of Oct until the exam.

Would appreciate if you guys can share some wisdoms and pitfalls that I should be on look out for, as well as how realistic do you think the above timeline is.

I will be visiting the forum a lot and hope to be involved in some deep discussions along the way.


Cheers.
