I was looking at my schedule this morning… holy eff that’s a lot of pages to cover in one month. But things have been going surprisingly fast lately. When did you start this read pokhim? (Weren’t you a december writer?)

Yeah, I was a Dec writer…I started on the 1st Jan. So it took me just over 10 weeks and yes, I also work full time. I’ve put in around 130hrs of study so far.

what were the mistakes? letting them go, or getting the 2 things in the first place? lol. Some ppl clearly don’t know what’s important in life.

I feel your pain, CFAI states explaining intercorp investments to the gf should result in compensation in the form of…

That’s awesome - *pat on the back* - Did you use Schweser for your first pass? Besides BB/EOC, what are you planning to use/do for your second pass?

Add to my formual sheet. Make my formula sheet look pretty. Condense my formula sheet.

If I am really tired in the evening I will watch a lecture. Last night at around 11pm I put on the deriv Swaps lecture as I didn’t fully understand it during my first reading. I might also do some Qbank…as they’re normally quite easy and it’s a really good way to bed down some of the key concepts.

These next fews weeks is where the real learning happens!!

Then, share the pretty, condensed formula sheet with everyone on AnalystForum?

Phew. Just finished first read as well. I would feel good about myself if it wasn’t for the fact that I need about 17 more reads for certain chapters to sink in. Oh well… Taking it one day at a time.

@pokhim

I told some matess that I finished my first read of the material, I even told my girlfriend…None of them were very excited for me or gave me a pat on the back.

So I thought i’d come here and let you all know. Ahhh! Feels like a bit of a relief! I’m actually looking forward to tomorrow when I start again and hit up the CFAI EOC and BB.

Feeling good.xx

Good job.

Now you can start studying for real.
