hope you can stick to your schedule. good luck!
Thanks! For the books we use, I still choose the CFA program curriculum for the first time. it does not mean I will go through it page by page, just find the answers to those questions on the LOS and think it over. then move on… but I was wondering… Books + sample and practice exams enough? Thanks
I used only Schweser last year and failed. They did a great job with FSA and FI, however really dropped the ball on PM. I am going to make sure I read the text in that section, because I think Ethics and PM are the deal breakers on level 2.
6-Mar reading 1 & 11,12,62 (a whole day) New: one reading of ethics, regression, multiple regression Reviewed Forward: made note according to the LOS didn’t solve those problems following each chapters.
that’s what I call a plan
Thanks all 7-Mar reading 2 & 13,63 solved two problems of reading 62 I didn’t finish reading 2, that’s really long, I will skip it for now. For 13, the last part of the reading, like MA model , is not related to notes…
I officially start studying today with Book 1 - registered on March 17th. Will try to find a bit of time after work everyday and some on the weekends. Anyone in the San Diego area?

Why do I have the feeling that sitting in on one of these study groups would be somewhat like watching one of those old Fed Ex commercials ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeK5ZjtpO-M , for you youngin’s )
wish i am still in school. i found i have no time whatsoever between demanding job and demanding LOS.
