Who studied L2 from CFAI material and failed? reading, examples, cruising, material

Hi.
I am reading from CFAI material (at cruising speed as it is rather early) as I know even closer to the exam (say 2-3 months before this), I won't be able to commit more than 2 hours a day (and maybe 4 during weekends); this is due to due to workload at office, kiddos etc.
I am making notes, doing EOCs and I intend re-reading chapters and leaving aside significant time for revision closer to exam.
Although material from CFAI books is big, I think it has a number of examples which strengthens my understanding.
Do you know of people who had (seriously) studied from the CFAI books and failed?
Thank you all.

I studied seriously from CFAI books in 2010 and failed band 9.
but it doesn't mean anything. everyone study on their own way and pace.

Hi Sungirl - Noted this. Seems one needs to do more questions other than EOCs for for practice.

given the nature of the exam - it does not really matter where you study from. what matters is how you have assimilated the material - and how you are able to cope with the questions thrown at you.

more preparation / studying from different sources / looking at different types of questions helps you prepare for this task.
