I did all the CFAi samples/mocks/ Vol 1 of the schweser. Starting vol 2 but not sure if its worth it. I’m thinking…wouldn’t it be better than reading/reviewing my notes over again? What do you guys think
I’m almost at the same point, and planning to do schweser vol 2 tomorrow…
I say go for notes review + Cfai EOC if you haven’t already
i’ve done note review and cfai eoc already. however, i feel like they consume so much time and i won’t really remember all that volume reviewed. do you?
I would review the CFAI past exams and the EOCs at this point.
god don’t do vol. 2. I got high 70s low 80s on the first vol and I just did vol 2, exam 1 PM session and got a 68%. I’m so depressed right now…
schweser vol2 is beast, if you guys want depression at this point, go for it, otherwise forget it
I’m planning on finishing volume one exam 3 tonight and then just review notes and chill until the exam.
+1 with FPM Why is 68% bad?
FPM - good strategy! Don’t crush your confidence now. Review and retain and relax.
Do the afternoon sessions for solid practice. Do the morning as kind of an open book review - the Schweser morning sessions are wholly unrelated to anything you see in the old CFA exams.
I’m just re-reading secret sauce, doing some GIPS review, maybe a few questions to stay fresh and re-reading notes. I am taking it easy until the exam; I know as much as I’m going to know at this point.

When your score keeps going down, from high 80s, to low 80s, to high 70s, then suddenly to 68%, you’d believe it’s a crappy score too. I need an exam where I can go back to high 70s to boost my confidence, otherwise I’d accept that I’ll be scoring low 60s on the real exam given the trend…
I would definitely do the afternoon sessions, and then at least the IPS stuff that they have… the more IPS the better… then just casually read the other AM answers as if you are regularly studying.
I don’t care about the score, it’s all about finding - and crushing - my weak areas. So, the more exams the better. I am actually glad I am doing v1, exam 3 since it brought up the excess/core capital that I’d forgotten about … I also missed an easy behavioral finance question that wasn’t in OCRAPS - naive 1/n diversification. NOCRAPS!
For me, I don’t want to touch schweser any more. The morning exam answers are kind biased… I like v1 better than v2 through.
