Scheduling for CFA level 1

I have just started studying for Leve1 ( giving it in Dec 2008) but i am going too slow. I have heard that we must put in 250 hours and i have no clue how this figure comes up. Can come one share their time scheduling with me. (Hours allotted for each session). This way i can mark myself to some guidelines. Thanks for your inputs

dont go by hours… just see that all concepts are covered…

I did one week per study session spending around 2 hours per day M-TH, and another 6 hours on the weekends. That came to around 250 and then I spent about 2 weeks revising and taking practice exams. The number of hours is only a guideline, depending on your background you may need more…sometime a lot more.
