My advice:

1. Don't even THINK about what sections you did worst in unless it was equity or FSA. The sample sizes are just so small that the line between <50 to <70 could have been a few lucky guesses, or just a couple tricky questions.

Basically it can give you a false sense of security or make you believe you are worse at a subject than you really are.

Far too often I see people say they focused on their bad subjects heavily, and come results time they are weaker on their "better" subjects.

If you want to gauge how you are on a particular subject you need to track your results on your own. That way you'll be able to see how well you are doing over a sample size larger than like 12 questions.

2. Everyone has different study techniques. Do what is best for you. Some people learn best by reading, some by doing questions, some by more interactive classes, some by video, some like flash cards, etc . At your age you should have a good idea what is best or what combination is best. That is what you need to do. For me, reading the CFAI text would be a giant waste of time. That type of reading just doesn't do it for me. I'm much more of a video and repetition/question type of learner. You may be different.

Point is: Don't let the masses fool you into a certain study plan. Do what is best for you.

3. I'm all for starting early, but give yourself breaks.

4. Review, review, review. The last thing you want to do is do quant in January, and then wake up and it is early June and you haven't seen quant since January. Try to keep everything fresh.
