---I strongly disagree with this statement...specifically regarding the pure "memorizing" a key to success...Level 1 is very theoretical, and it strongly tests your understanding of the material...They will try and trick you, so make sure you understand the material intuitively, rather than memorization...This comes from a level 2 candidate

memorizing obviously helps, but chances are it won't be enough if you don't actually understand the material...

best of luck to everyone...plenty of time to go
