This is a very good summary of what will be crucial and I think if we can get the below down we can definitely pass

Hi Pepp, I'm also lagging behind by a great deal. What I'm doing is know the FRA and the equity section very well (Those 2 should cover, on average 50% of the topics encountered on exam day) - I'm through with the FRA and half through with the equity. Then, I'll move on to equity, I'll do all questions I can find on the code of ethics and the standards of professional conduct (i don't think I actually need to go through the theory). However I WILL HAVE to learn all the other things in the Ethics section. Equity should cover 10% of exam questions. I'll then go quickly with things that I basically already know (economics and corporate finance). And for the rest, I really don't know, especially with derivatives and quant!
