Agree with nuppal there, making the notes was kind of helpful but it was very time consuming and I never looked at them again.

Heres what I did:
I underlined all the important stuff (very neatly) in the CFAI texts
I read Schweser, absorbed alot of information and wrote it down in the margins on the CFAI texts
I found that writing down formulas everytime you come across it helps you remember them
I made notes again in a little notebook while reviewing
A week before the exam I was nuttily reading all the material and (not surprisingly) I found info that I had missed before/failed to focus on, and I made a final 4-5 pages of imp stuff


Never read the notes again though..so yeah just do what suits you best. I'm sure you know from experience what works for you
