So I passed L2 in 2008 first try, failed 2009 last year (band 8) - this was after having hand surgery and simply not preparing enough. I did get through readings, but did not take enough exams or frankly devote enough time. It is now April 30, and I have 5 weeks. I am taking May21-May6 (2 weeker) off from work to study full time. I am taking online video classes through 7city, I have schweser materials, and the CFAI books. Any advice on strategy? I suppose I need to start full time studying tomorrow morning over the weekend, and try to get things done each evening of a work day too, and then pound through the readings in my 1st week off, and then practice exams in my second week off. Any advice?
wow studying FT? I would read everything 2x, do all the problems and take the exams. 8hrs a day for 35 days I think you can pass especially if u remember a lot from last year. How much did you study for level 3 last year?

Sorry - May21-June6. I mean to say I am going to have 2 full weeks, not a month. Any advice?
secret sauce it up and no matter what give it a shot. If you pass you don’t have to do it again and if you fail well its great practice and you’d be helping all of us out too 
Hopefully you will pass though!
