from someone who has taken this test before here's some advice:

break each topic down by section and break each section into its fundamentals.

for example: FSA can be broken into Intercorporate Investments, Pensions, Multinational Ops, and L1Review/Earnings Quality.

break these down into formulas and notes that you can use for practice questions and tests.

there is a lot of material, but you can manage it and how you manage it will determine if you pass/fail.

remember - if what you're reading/studying is worth knowing - it will be on the test.

(I agree on the Q-bank being terrible for L2 - use the questions and mock exams on the CFAI site. The text is your #1 asset.)
