If it can be of any comfort:

CFAI exam questions are much less based on calculations and are more on concepts.

Or at least this is the impression i have. Also, my impression is, formulas that are difficult to memorize would not be tested directly.

kh.asif, i think you are doing great with your scoring and with almost 4 weeks still left for further reviews. Keep up the morale and motivation !!

Thanks for the replies.

Want to do the following for the next 24 days

1. I am making a comprehensive formula sheet. Schweser doesn't have all of them.
2. Give CFAI mock
3. Review tough EOC, Practice Exam, Sample exam/mock questions
4. Revising by breaking the syllabus into two parts.
a. Quantitative stuff- Formulas, methodologies etc
b. Qualitative stuff-corporate governance, ethics etc

I agree rus1bus...the CFA is not testing whether you can punch numbers into a formula to spit out an answer...that is what computers are for. The CFA wants you to know the relationships. If x goes up by 1 what does that do to y etc.
