I was debating signing up for June 2010. I was talking to one of my buddies and he said stop being a panzi and sign up in December. This was exactly the push I needed. Given the short September to December time frame you have no choice but to bust your balls and study. Assuming you can make the time it can be done. I have a degree in electrical engineering and I managed to figure it out so I would assume with your background and a healthy dose of hard working passing L1 would not be a problem. That being said when you find out you passed L1, you need to immediately sign up for L2 and bust you ass to pass as you will only have 4 months for that beast of an exam. Hope this helps.
Finish the readings by oct 15th. No matter what…start doing exams. You must do at least 8 FULL exams to pass!!!

That’s NOT necesarily true. Exams are really important, but so is reading. I prioritized reading the stuff multiple times and did less exams - just book 6 (3 full exams) and the official mock+samples (1/2 +1/4 +1/4 full exams). Thats 4 in total. I passed all 3 levels in first try. What I’m trying to say is that there are different ways of studying and I believe that reading is the most important. I started doing exams about 2 weeks before exam each time
I have a set of brand new 2009 Stalla books, which I would be happy to sell. IMHO they are better than Schweser for L1.
