Is it worth preparing your own notes? knowledge, important, actually, computer, only

franzino

Hi,

As I begin my study for LI, I am faced with an important decision - do I take the time and effort to prepare and write (by hand, not computer) my own notes, or do I purchase prepared notes from a leading test prep provider such as Schweser's notes?

Before you jump to an opinion, here are some insights and conditions:

- I am single, 23 years old, working 40 hours a week only.
- I have a desire to not only pass the exam, but to actually learn the material and retain that knowledge for as long as possible.

The only factor that I am concerned about is time - will I have enough time from now until June 5th to adequately prepare notes AND study from them?

Thanks for all your help, CFA Level I vets!
