My approach
- Read Schweser notes, do some Schweser EOCs
- Did 2000 Schweser QBank, more highly weighted in weak areas as those emerged
- Watched Schweser videos to reenforce weak areas
- Did all CFAI EOCs
- Took 5 Schweser mocks (74% average across all, increasing as I went along) and CFAI mock (76%)
I did not feel good taking this exam for the most part. Catching a few of their tricks made me paranoid through most of the exam, which led to wasting time reaffirming answers, and me running low on time towards the end. All of the mocks were more straightforward than the real thing. I also had to guess on a much higher number of questions then on any of the mocks, mostly due to add’l ambiguity/time pressure/inclusion of minutia. If I have to re-take I will focus almost exclusive on the CFAI text.
