Do 8 practice exams. That was my strategy for L2 and L3 (only did 6 for L1). Go HAM, if you feel like you have time to hang out with people after work and are not staying in the office studying on Friday nights and not waking up on Saturdays to study, eat, study, maybe watch some netflix, study, sleep, and then repeat on Sunday…then you are not going hard enough. I did ~260 hours from mid-March through May for L2…most peoples problem is that they slack and they think they’re studying hard but theyre not. If you actually devote all of your time after work and weekends to studying like a hermit…you won’t fail. Be anti-social…works every time…you’ll have time for others after you’re done with the exam.
How many hours did you put in?
I am aiming for 400 - 450 if i can manage

For L2, about 260 hours (I think exact was 258 or 259).
For L3, about 200 hours (I think exact was 202).

What are people’s strategies for tackling EOCs? If you don’t know how to do a calculation, do you:
flip back and forth between the topic and the question? 2) leave the question for now and read the topic again?
Let’s say I don’t know the forward premium formula. Even though I try to understand it by going back to the book, I feel like it’s cheating if I just copy down the formula and just plug in the numbers (because everyone knows how to plug in numbers)
More of the first one during the first time I answered the EOC questions. It’s not cheating cause you’re trying to engrave the concept/formula in your mind. You can’t expect to learn everything during the first reading given the amount of concepts that you need to master. Just answer EOC questions multiple times till you no longer need to flip back and forth.
60% of candidates in this thread are bound to fail anyways
