No matter what anybody says here, it all depends on how you learn.
Personally, I generally don’t like notes or flash cards.  There were a few exceptions, but for the most part, I think people become somewhat dependent on them.  If you use them to learn, then toss them before you start the “final push” for the exam, I think that’s okay.  But by the last two weeks before test day, you should have all your old notes thrown out.
My recommendation - Study all 5 books, then study FRA again, then study all 5 books again (including FRA for a third time).  You’ll be surprised by how much you pick up the second time around.  Starting Nov. 10 or so, you need to put the books away and do nothing but bang away the practice questions.

By the way does anybody, or did anybody who passed, use the video classes (Schweser)? For some readings might it be enough to view and then do questions rather than notes and questions……I guess the answer is if you can do the questions you are ok?
