The details that you are actually tested on is not so familiar if you have not studied it for 8 or 9 months. Given a 41% pass rate last year, the test is not a cake walk. It pretty much comes down to the fact that everyone studies differently.
November for me. I need to get my GMAT and apps done.
I made it on having reviewed for 3 full weeks before exam… think its the strategy (but not the time) that matters.

I do it this way because I know I won’t stick to my plan…then, always better sooner than never. Additionaly will be useful due to some interviews coming. --> If you can take 3 weeks full time, good for you but not the case for everyone

Im doing the same bro. Far more important things to utilize my time with than rote memorizing L2 formulas

i started the day of the results…with Corpfin as i had no time to read it for the exams. Want to complet my review by march and ready for the CFA mock & sample as soon as they are posted.
I got my CFAI books today - still in box, with vomit all over them. Probably start in Another month or two, casually. Just found this http://www.finquiz.com/tips/detail, plan on looking it over then this time around, I’m using 95% schweser.
I plan to start in October and hopefully read all the CFAI material by end December-mid January. Then I will take a break until end of February, when I will start again by read through Schweser while doing CFAI exercices and learning summaries from CFAI by heart.
I already started easing myself into study mode, reading the Ethics portion for about 30-60 minutes a day.
