I totally took CFA level 3 exam three times. Hope you guys can make it. Any questions, please let me know.
First try, I only read Schweser notes without solving any questions, and got band 1.
Second try, read Schweser notes three times and solved 6 morning section old exams. Fail and band 9.
Third try, I change my method. Read the curriculum twice, (ethic part 4 times and fixed income part 3 times). Then switch to Schweser notes.
I find out that by just reading Schweser notes, I CAN NOT TRULY UNDERSTAND SOME PRINCIPALS. For example, behind one sentence in notes, there probably is a whole page from the curriculum to explain it. Before the exam, I find out the Schweser online video is very helpful and I build more confidence by watch these video before taking the exam. I also solved 4 morning-section Schweser practice tests and all the questions form cfa websites.
Most important, write precisely by providing the key words from curriculum rather than explaining too much self-understanding details.
The feeling is also very important. After reading the question, if you totally know what the question ask for, you are in the good direction and please give the noun (key word) from curriculum. Otherwise, no matter what solution provided will not help you at all.
