DarienHacker

Hi LIII Heros ..

Iam LII candidate sitting for next June

I'll be done from (Schweser notes + Schweser EOCs) in one week

So Iam left with almost 1 month for reviewing & practicing
Sure, as most candidates, I feel by now that Ive forgetten almost eveything I went through

My Qs to you guys:

Am I far behind in studying?

For the 1 month left, in addition to the CFAI EOCs, Mocks & Qbank, What would be the best strategy for reviewing?
Secret Sauce? Elan 11th hour? bcoz It is impractical/no time for re-reading the whole notes

Thanks in advance

In 2009 and 2010 the CFAI mock was easier than the real thing.

NO EXCUSES

Unforseen

More difficult I think.

you're way behind, you should consider postponing until next june.

Are the Scweser mocks indicative of the real exams? Tougher/ easier?

Do a quick practice test...identify the weak areas.

Go through the EOC; don't waste too much time in questions that are not part of vignette....as those are less likely to appear on the actual test.

Take another practice test in 2 weeks...

Review weak areas another week.....

Leave Ethics for last week and more practice test for the last week.....

good luck

MarkCFAIL, I fixed your post.


To the original poster - What mark says is right about practice exams. From here on out, your focus should be on sitting your a** down, doing an exam, and then spending the next two or three days going over your worst two or three sections (by number of questions wrong - not %age, as # wrong gives you a better idea as to weights). Rinse and repeat, watch your scores rise.

Far too many candidates that I've studied with (in my 1.5 yrs leading up to level three now) just wait way too long to actually start "testing" themselves by TAKING TESTS. Stop reading once you finish the material and start testing. Your only "reading" should be reading sections that you got lots of problems wrong on. Anything else is not the best use of your time.

i didnt say to neglect all other SS, but these two alone account for 50% of the exam, so it is must know material.

odds are if you get below 50% on either of these you will fail the exam
