Working and studying is a killer.
Starting Econ today.
FInished CFAI book 2 (econ) last night. Gaah, I think If i had to read about one more curve shift i was going to end my life (prolly doesnt help that I think I am coming down with the flu). Plan to start reading FSA when i get home tonight… sounds like fuuuuun. I am starting to think about when to get Schweser. I really want the SS and the sample exams… any advice? Which package should i get? GenY
If you want both the condensed books and sample exams, I suggest the Essential package. It’s a bit pricey, but you get all books and qbank. If you think you can do without qbank, just get the books.

Nice and spicy, short and most of all logic:)
Finishing studysession 8 tonight. I think I am on plan… I am doing schweser QBank after every reading.
Ive got FSA left which Ive started this past weekend. Then its purely Qbank and exams till June…
I’m still in Book 1 (Schweser). Am I too far behind? I don’t know why but i take about 2-3 hours to finish 1 chapter. Is it normal?

We all have 18 weeks in front of us and 18 study sessions to master …
On my second round of reading the CFAi texts, currently reading volume 4.
I have read the Schweser notes through financial statement analysis, and am now working on reading the textbooks and am through ethics.
i make flashcards as i go through the chapters…is it worth it to do this or should i focus on the schweser notes instead?

I tell u that cause I got nice home made flashcards and still failled in december … 
questions add value to your learning time
