I just took a month off work and we have exactly one month left… I just wanted to see where everyone stands with their prep. I am studying from Schweser and the CFA texts. I will be starting fixed-income tomorrow and I just have derivatives to go after that. I have done all Schweser and CFA questions for each topic at least once. I plan on completing the course once (with all questions done) by May 11th. Do I still have a chance?
You are waay ahead at this point considering you have 30 full-days to study. I still have 2 Study sessions to go.
A month off work… my god where do you work?? I would be laughed at if I asked for that. Apart from that you’re far ahead of my as well so I think I officially don’t like you now.

Well, as for me I have to work one more day tomorrow and then I have my annual leave + days for working overtime + study leave to prepare to ACCA exams, paid by my employer… I will be back at work on 30 June and I will still have 8 days off to use before 31 Dec 
have not started any of book6 nor cfai exams. will do so next wkend probly
I started three days ago. Thus far, I’ve read books 1,2,3,4 of the schwesers. I promised myself that I wouldn’t leave to the last moment like I did level I… but yet here I am.
Started my 1st exam yesterday… I cant remember the stuff I did two months ago, so feeling pretty screwed. Time to seriously pick up the pace
Read everything except for ethics. however didn’t do any questions (few here and there). Planning to do loads during May.
Today I was only successful at reading study session 14. Didn’t to any questions today so plan on doing them tommorow and reading 2 sections of SS15. Damn this debt stuff… duration, convexity…

still 1 book to read. terrible.
seems like “photo reading”
Yeah i’m sorry but this guy’s a f*cking retard.
Not you omster, you’re cool 1 month of full time and you’ve got this on lock down. Durden, you my friend are the retard.
Tylerdurden , are you serious abt it. What do you do…just share man -either will try to use it peek perform or laugh if its a joke. I am done with 1 full skimming of Schweser materials, started reviewing…done FSA+CF+EQ+FI+PM - took some 100 qns totally on all these for now… need to take more tests from now on and should compelte reviewing the left outs. Itemset practise / full 3 hrs exam setup - dunno what to do and when to do?
I’m horribly behind. I’ve only finished 40 of the 72 readings and I’ve done no practice exams. At this point, I’m taking this approach for each reading: 1. read the summary at the end of the reading 2. read the LOS’s for the reading and make sure I have an idea what each LOS is about 3. do about 1/2 of the problems at the end of each reading That’s the only way I can see myself covering the material in time. It seems to be working out pretty well so far but there’s so much left to cover. I’m leaving Ethics for last. LobsterBoy

I don’t think I could walk in to work the next day if I took a month off and failed.
k every reading done, practise questions at and end of each section done reviewed everything once Qbanked it hardcore for the month of april focusing on the big meat and now? just took the version 2 practise exam for $40 on the CFAI website and got slaughted i blame my ADD 1luv
whered you get hit the hardest on the practice exam?
I work in VC so a lot of the stuff is review, especially that the valuation stuff. That and I read very fast - a schweser book takes me about 3 hours to go through. I’ll probably read through them again a couple more times, then do questions and review what I missed. Worked last time… I dont know if I’ll be so lucky this time.
