Here is my top 5 advice 5. Do not overlook ethics (buy the cfa ethics book) 4. Don’t let Schweser book 6 bring you down. The actual exam is not as difficult 3. Concepts over calculations 2. Take the $50 practice exam from cfainstitute, it is the best indicator of level of difficulty and how you are likely to do. 1. Take a second $50 practice exam from cfainstitute, it is the best indicator of level of difficulty and how you are likely to do.

LOS can be very helpful for you to understand what kind of question you might see on exam. For e.g. - If LOS says “Interpret Skewness” - it means you just have to understand skewness & its interpretation not calcutlation. If LOS says “Calculate or Compute” - You need to know the formula to calculate. It helped me to omit lot of details comfortably as they were not required as part of LOS.
