Okay, so here’s the thing
I read schweser books two times and now going through all CFAI EOC questions and simultaneously reviewing material from the summaries and my flashcards.
It’s pretty okay I would say - at least 83 % up to 95% on all those questions
I did some Qbank questions but something like 500-600 (not like 2000-3000) of them

So my question is - how to approach the final 30 days - assuming I can spend ~ 10 hours a day on studying:
(1) Finish all those cfai eoc questions while reviewing the material from flashcards and summaries
(2) I have 2015 Schweser Practice exams book - how many of those should I make ?
(3) Should I go back to Qbank or just simply do mock exams ?
(4) What should I do - (mocks/qbank/reviewing/anything)
- 3 weeks out
- 2 weeks out
- 1 week out
before the exam to be prepared

Help much appreciated
 
10 hours a day, wow that’s a lot of studying
It looks like you are in great shape. If you can do 6 or more practice exams, mock exams from CFA Institute, go through all blue box and EOC questions from the curriculum, and memorize the important formulas, you should be golden.
Here’s a short YouTube video on last month preparation strategy that you may find helpful: https://youtu.be/C3QY2edKgdA
Good luck on the exam!

3weeks out: Do all the schweser mocks. Learn from each one and do Qbank for the questions you have been getting wrong.
2weeks out: Do all finsh the rest of Qbank and focus hard on Ethics
1week!: Review the mock exams again and memorise your flash cards.
Let us know what your mock scores are like. You should be getting c.70% to get a pass.

if you can commit 10 hours studying per day, i think you can re-read all the books…
but honestly i would start doing mock exams as soon as you feel comfortable, IN EXAM ENVIRONMENT, go lock yourself in a room that is UNFAMILIAR to you, bring a bottle water and minimal distraction with you and just sit through 6 hours (with a break in between of course) and experience the exam setting.
your body needs to be adjusted for concentrating for such long period of time.
