I am fried. I can’t even bring myself to study, which is NOT GOOD, considering I am borderline AT BEST. Now is when I’m supposed to be cranking into high gear (like I did for LI) but I just can’t seem to get the fire started. In fact, it’s going out. Anyone else feel this way?
me too actually I still had about 150 pages from equity to cover and still can’t get myself to do it. need a boost!
Toasty. ~:-)
If you are truly burned out, than don’t study anything (or do something light like flip through notecards while watching TV)…you won’t retain serious studying if you’re fried.
I think I’ll begin with a good long nap
Happened to me on Thursday / Friday I maintained my study hours, but eased up on the pace of my studying, took some CFAI sample exams for fun, made sure I got my sleep in between, and felt really strong again on Sunday / Monday. Keep it up, we’re troopers, this stuff passes quickly. You have 10 days, how freaking awesome is that!
I gave up today as well. For some reason I am still on AF.
I’m the opposite, for me, I keep up my regimine but just relax the pace and make sure I get good sleep, otherwise you risk getting severely derailed.

I feel like I’m getting stupiderereeer by the minute. My brain is one way only at the moment- info is flowing out at an increasing speed, but I cannot seem to understand/ reingorce anything when I review. I’m starting to regret finishing the material 3 weeks out. Just made a 62 last night… and unlike level one, ppl are saying that actual exam is harder (not easier) than practice.
I am really feeling it today as well, I usually spend all lunch reading the Sauce but I cant do it any more. Plus the CFA dreams/nightmares are killing my sleep.
10 days is fine for me.
If I study when I’m feeling burnt I get hung up and frustrated on nitpicky shit and don’t get anywhere; give yourself a break then get back on it. I took time off the books yesterday and I’m actually pumped to head home and see if my scores have improved at all after my weekend.
i’m not sure if i can physically study today. i was concerned a few days ago because i wasn’t getting the bad cfa dreams yet, but i’ve gotten something worse. cfa insomnia. can’t stop thinking about the test when i try to go to sleep… i got 3 hours of sleep and i’m in the office. might have to take a nap as soon as i get home and skip studying today. that sucks.
This was me a week ago, and believe me, I’m borderline as well. I just had to tell myself that this is all over soon. I imagined myself failing and having to tell my boss, boyfriend, family, and everyone else that I’ve ignored that I wasted all of this time and blew them off for a test when I didn’t do everything in my power to pass. And that I’ll have to do it AGAIN next year. We have to lay it all out on June 7th and if I can do so knowing I couldn’t do any more than I did, then the result will be what it will be and I’m ok with that. But until then we just have to get it in gear and do what we can between then and now. Unfortunately, I just had to start forcing myself to get back into it. Started with the area I found the most interesting and forced myself to write notes/answer questions until I was back into the groove again. Take a short break if you need it, do something fun or relaxing, and then get back to work. You’ll find it, just don’t give up.
I’m there. It’s the first day I have really felt this…think it’s from the long weekend of only studying. I’m wondering if finishing the material 4 weeks ago was such a good thing too. Just feel like I’m stuck in the same spot on the material right now and not moving forward. I have done nothing today. Usually I wake up and study before work then study again at lunch. I couldn’t bring myself to do it today. Hopefully I’ll find something inside me to study when I get home from work…I have to!
cfasf1, i hear ya…can’t sleep for anything anymore. i took tylenol pm all weekend but don’t want to keep that going for 2 weeks or i’ll never get back to sleeping naturally.
Ng, I’m with you on that. I’ve been taking them for a week and decided to try and do without last night… and now I’m running on about 3 hours of sleep. I guess I’ll just stick with the pills and worry about it later.
Guys…we got this…breathe deep, embrace the end of this mess, you especially mwvt9, unless you were planning on taking a 20 day vacation before the exam I can’t imagine what you need 30 days for.
I’m a bit comforted to know you all share this problem with me…but I wish none of us did and that we all were bursting at the seams to study more. I opened up the 2006 CFA actual exam (I took it 2 weeks ago, so I thought I would review it / take it again). I opened it up, looked at the long vignette, sighed, and thought “there’s no way I’m reading all that” and I shut the book. That’s can’t be a good response. What if I do that on exam day? I just might.
