I finished my readings earlier and I did couple of reviews of all the study sessions. I was gonna do another review before I started taking practice exams. But I did take a practice exam and found out how "pathetic" my preparation was. I did well in Quants and FRA but did pretty badly in everything else.

I am glad I took the practice exam. Instead of doing another review, I will focus on my weak points and do another exam this week. I agree with others who urge to take practice exams in advance. This will tell you where you stand. PLEASE DON'T BE DISCOURAGED!!!

Thanks!

I started in Mid June and have been averaging a reading a day, except for Study Sessions 9-10, which took me about 2 days per reading.

Basically I try to do a reading a day from Schweser, the CFAI (only the multiple choice) questions for that reading, and then the Schweser questions for that reading. I don't even read the CFAI texts, they are too long and boring. I finish with a study session a week, and then on weekends I watch the Schweser video series for that study session to drill down the concepts. I haven't really dug into Qbank yet, I will do that once I'm done with all of the readings - in Mid November.

Formulas are fairly easy to memorize, after doing tons of questions you will have them in the back of your head.

A few weeks ago I took a practice exam for Study Sessions 2-10 on Qbank and scored an 84%, so I think that's fine.

Currently I'm on SS 15 and on pace to finish by Mid-November (Skipped SS1 - Ethics, doing it last)
