First off, good luck to everyone taking L1 (whether for the first time, or on a retake). Here are a few things that might be helpful for the last two days.
-
Try to get a good night’s sleep at least ONE of the following two nights. Being even a bit sleep deprived will cost you far more on the exam than those last 2-3 hours of study will gain you. The CFA exam typically contains a lot of questions that aren’t really all that hard, but will have one or two little tweaks that will confuse you if you’re not well-rested.
-
Review ethics at least one more time. If you’re right on the bubble, they weight it more heavily.
-
Make sure your ticket info matches your id EXACTLY. If not, call CFA institute NOW.
-
Put your bag together (or at least a list of what you’ll need) for the exam day now while you’re still fresh: plenty of pencils, spare calculator battery (or in my case, spare calculator), exam ticket, ID, earplugs if you wear them, and so on).
-
Make sure you know where your exam location is and where to eat there for lunch.
-
Try to relax a bit tomorrow night. At that point, if the crop’s not in, another hour of plowing won’t do it.
Finally, don’t panic, adn good luck.
