Ok so here is my life in the last little while.
What I’ve done so far is up until March 19th I did my first read through on Shweser no EOC Questions. Then I did 5 equally weighted tests with the results Below.
After that I read every study session and made notes, did examples/ EOC questions. More Thorough. After every 2 Study sessions I did a 60 Q bank test with 30 for each study session. (Alt I did by itself and I didn’t get to Ethics or GIPS before May 11th and I did a pretty bad job of Allocation/Execution as you can tell by the Q-bank results.
May 11th I get lit up on a Shweser proctored mock. 58% on both AM/PM. I find the test format a little tricky but the real problem is not knowing the concepts enough.
The following 7 days I cover GIP’s and Ethics in Detail and then do Qbank tests. I watch the Schewser vids and make more notes on SS 14-17 with results below and do a 60 Question practice test after each one.
Tomorrow I will do a mock to work on the format of the test. I don’t think that will help me discover my remaining weaknesses as a mock covers very little of the breadth. Based on the Q-bank data what study session would you hit next if you were me? I’m thinking work up from Behavioral Finance, any input welcome. Good luck to all.
