Re-taking L3 for the first time. My approach has been to drill into the CFAI areas I did poorly last year (done) and now focus primarily on reviewing my notes from last year in areas I performed “well”. In my “focused” sessions I read and took notes on 6 SS’s I failed and did all CFAI questions right after in detail. Best I could do I figure.
Having trouble with retention as I have a demanding job (not today) as well. Despite “learning” the material, its still hard to recall small details on the fly 1 month later. Horror stories of people re-taking 3 times is driving me forward.
What do you guys think of my approach and is it realistic? Options for the review phase include:
-
Review last year’s personal Scheweiser notes and do Scheweiser questions
-
Review last year’s personal Scheweiser notes and do CFAI questions
-
Review last year’s personal Scheweiser notes in one bulk phase and then do QBank questions
-
Review someone else’s notes (friend who passed) and do CFAI/Scheweiser questions
Which one? Do I seem on schedule?
Thinking the rest of Feb and March will be on reviewing the chapters I did fine in… (ie. 2 evenings/weekend days each) then a round of review in April and then mocks in May.
