Based on my experience, if you can get time off work, the final-few-weeks cram is the ultimate way to study for the CFA exams.

The problem with the hour-a-day-for-six-months method is that most people can't remember stuff for 6 months, so you end up having to re-learn everything before the exam anyway.

On the other hand, if your entire exam preparation consists of 8-hours-a-day of nonstop studying for 4 or 5 weeks, there is no need to make multiple passes through the material.
A tiny bit stressful, but extremely efficient.
