For L1, my strategy to ensure I was absorbing the maximum amount was to read a study session (typically between 1 and 2 days to finish). Then once done with a study session, go back and take notes/make flashcards for key concepts. Then once finishing a whole book, review the EOC questions and my notes for each chapter. I went through a book about every 1.5 weeks this way. (FYI I used CFAI curriculum exclusively). This helped me be confident I wasn't just blazing through the material without retaining much. Once I had finished this had about a month to review each study session and EOC questions again, take mock exams, drill flashcards, and work on problem areas. I passed >70 in each section this way. Obviously no one strategy works for everyone, just my $.02.
