Hey guys
Just wanted to see what your thoughts are regarding the new steps in my study efforts. to give you a run down this is what I have done so far. note: I started a while ago because i’m not an analyst by trade (i’m in asset management sales) and learning via books has always taken me a while…
Start: feb 2012
Round 1
-
Watched Schweser videos
-
Read Schweser books (each chapter around 1-2 times)
-
Schweser end of chapter questions
End June 2012
Start: mid June 2012
Round 2
-
Watched Schweser videos
-
Read Schweser books (each chapter twice)
-
Made notes on every single LOS (mostly from the slides and schweser book)
-
CFA Institue end of chapter questions (every single one)
-
Schweser end of topic reviews (end of each topic - at the back of the schweser books)
End: August 31st
Im taking a few days off, for the final push…
-
im aware that there are areas of weakness, e.g. FRA, bits of quant and economics, fixed income etc. that i need to address - I have made notes here and there
-
i think i undersand all the material however if you ask me to calcualte covaraince, or make a direct or indirect CFO i’m going to stuggle - I have a terrible memory…
-
i’m still not very confident to be honest as i dont recall everything concept…
Other things I have avaliable to me is:
1. Q bank (hardly touched it)
2. Secret sauce
So my question is:
-
What is the best strategy to review everything agian?
-
should I read the books again?
-
is it just better to smash every question on Qbank for the next 2.5 months - then 0.5 months for mocks and NOT even touch the material again?
My proposal strategy is:
-
read over my notes (they are very comprehensive however - so i’m worried it’ll take ages) OR skim over every chapter on schweser - _ or is it better just to read the secret sauce book to get you warmed up for q bank? _
-
do every question on Q bank for the next 2.5 months (0.5 remaining for mock exams)
- thoughts everyone?
