I wrote loads of notes on my PC - it seemed more organized that way and it enabled me to change/correct things later on. Also it is easier to add information later on if you type your notes up. But I guess ultimately it's a question of personal perference. I type very quickly and hence found it easier than taking hand-written notes.

The Q-bank is a very good way of praticing the calc questions - after a while you can do the calculations more or less "blind". It is also useful to make sure that you have really understood the material.

I would recommend starting off with the end-of-chapter questions in the CFA and the Schweser books first. Once you have gone through the material once and have started to revise, really hit the Q-bank. Leave the practice exams until the end.
