no chance in hell, but need advice anyway anyway

EastCoastJ

How the hell did I find myself in this situation?!!!!

Now that I'm here I want to do my best to pass.

I have maybe 22 hours between now and Saturday to study. I've just worked with Schweser materials so far. Here's where I am: I've reviewed most of FSA but need to do more practice problems. I have an understanding of the material but need to cement the concepts some more. I did Ethics, Econ and Quant in March, but forgot most of it, though reviewing would be straightforward enough. I am definitely not ready to dive into problems for those sections without a review. Right now I am on SS 11 and think I could crank through SS 12, 13, *maybe* 14 today...it's material that's somewhat familiar to me.

On debt, derivatives, alternative investments (SS15-18) I am totally screwed.

Please someone tell me what I can do over the next 2 days to have the best chance possible to pass. How do I structure my time intelligently?

lol if u go to morning, might as well stay around for afternoon. the chances of you passing , even if its minimal, are better than waiting another 6 months.

i was seriously busy with other work but no excuse is a good excuse i know... i feel totally lame, so don't rub it in...

i think i'm going to just go to the morning session for the practice, and try to do some more FSA tonight. i just wish i didn't have to wait another 6 months...

Why do we all take so much time to post advice for the jacka$$ who didn't feel like it was worth his time to put in the effort to study? There's a lot of other worthy candidates who legitimately need some advice. This guy needs a life lesson.

Just get hold of the 11th hour guide. More detailed and covers more areas than secret sauce.

How do you just end up in a position like this?

"I have an understanding of the material but need to cement the concepts some more."

Sorry darkeyes, but the exam tests thorough understanding of the concepts, not just mediocre understanding. Throwing multiple sections out the window ensures a fail.

Now that we got that out of the way, what can you do? I would do the Schweser Practice Exams and review the answers to those. Also get some qbank in. Also read the Schweser books. Also pray.
