i think i had a similar feeling when i was preparing for the previous exams : i should go over everything once and then concentrate on the details the second time around. but when i went back to topics that i had read before, i only remembered that i read that chapter but actually had not understood anything well enough to remember it later on. i consider the time spent on passive reading as time wasted. the study technique followed should be a clever one which makes you learn without spending that much time on it and this is possible. if oyu are not learning, do not bother reading it. as simple as that. it will make you feel like " i have spent this many hours on studying" and may make you feel better but if it is not really contributing to your knowledge - and reading thorugh the text does not, at least for me- no need spending time. the best is to concentrate on the individual topics - topics that are sure to be questioned in the exam (for me this was- for example- the equity valuation, the capital project valuation, everything from FRA etc. in L2).
No such thing, you might get lucky, you might not.
Best is putting in work and in doing so, reduces the reliance on the luck factor.
What I(did not pass L2 the first time) did was, do I wish to see this again for 10 more months or should I try to put in 100 more hours?
Before you know it, come August and it’s time to celebrate!
Like do you remember what you were doing this past April… exactly… June will be here and gone.
@cyrwr1 I agree with you “June will be here and gone” Thank you for the motivation, and good luck with your studies.
Reading does lull you into a false sense of security, and I think that one has to confront the content sooner rather than later. One has to use a cross training approach to the exam. Be honest with yourself about whether your exam readiness is improving. Good luck with your studies, and thanks for contributing to the dialogue and sharing your ideas.
thank you for your wishes. I realized I did not update my status here on AF.
Looking forward to hearing your success story next year! 
and take good legible notes as you GO!
sorry mate but asking if certain hours of studying is enough or not is just - i don’t know - unnecessary. depends on if you are really learning what you will need to know in the exam by studying ten hours a week. the best way for me to check is to solve questions. I am in my second revision - first one was a quick one, in the second round i am repeating the main stuff to myself when i am reading the books, which seems to work, but it is time consuming. still i do better with the tests so i will carry on doing the same no matter how much time consuming this is. as in the morning session there will not be any choosing from multiple choices luxury so we have to know what we are talking about. in other words, it needs proper preparation. this is the last level and in less than two months studying for cfa may be something that is left in the past for winners. don’t you want to be one of them? if you want to pass, you should not say “is blah blah hours enough?”. your attitude should be “i will study as much as I can.”. knowing exactly how much one needs to know to pass the exam would be helpful to answer your question which we do not. and we do not know how well the others will do in the exam as well. you are in a competition right now so act accordingly.
