Mocks? Revisions? Questions? Secret Sauce? Praying? Saying F it?
I still have a week to go before starting the onslaught with Mocks/Questions and plan to continue this until the last 2 weeks where ill just hit up my weak areas and try to get through ethics/gips before D day.
 
i started the schweser mocks last week… they’ve been okay so far.
Exam 1 60% AM, 66%PM
Exam 2: 66% AM; 76% PM
I plan to finish the schweser mocks by middle of next week and then do the CFA mocks on 25th April. If I were you i’d do the mocks, do Qbank and update your notes.
I have all my notes written out and if I learn them then i’m hoping i’ll be okay. That said, i keep reading quesitons and answers on here that I don’t understand at all, which is denting my confidence
 
Finishing up my run through the EOCs this week (on 29 right now), so I will probably do a full mock on Sunday. Would like to get at least a few AM sessions under my belt before heading to Omaha for the LevelUp bootcamp. Will be using that material for the last month of review. Will be doing mocks on mocks on mocks. Take the first week of June off work, hit Ethics and review GIPS. Crush exam. Drink heavily. Forget CFA even exists in June and July. Start freaking out and losing sleep somewhere around August 5th. View results on the 11th. Order new business cards.
That’s the plan, at least.
 
CFA mocks every Friday (I work only 4 days a week) for the next 6 wks. Review mocks + weak area drill on Sat/Sun. CFAI EOC & BB review on weekdays.
I would really recommend you to start reading Ethics & GIPS right now as there is a lot to remember, especially for GIPS.

i have read GIPS twice in schweser notes, but ill be reading the curriculum material. probably should start on that sooner than later i guess. i have read Ethics from the actual curriculum too many damn times from the prior levels. hopefully some of it is still up there…got above 70 each year
 
EOC questions, flash cards and note review. Daily 2+hours
Saturday/Sunday is Mock taking and Mock review time, + 2 hours of the above.
The push is on!!!!
 
Finish reading Schweser in the next 3 weeks.
Go through EOC Questions 2nd week of May.
Review/Mocks last 3 weeks before D-Day/
- Sounds like I’m behind most people but thanks to the fact that level 3 is half the size of level 2, I’m actually more ahead than last year hahaha.
 
- Finish the Curriculum and the EOCs by April 21st
- Got to Boston LevelUp Bootcamp, log 40hours there (though my study-buddy wants to do 50hrs there-he is nuts) April 23-26th
- Review the LevelUp Slidebook as my “index cards” / write some fr his slide book (week 6 countdown)
- Review Blue Boxes, Ethics, GIPS (I think 50% chance of being on the exam) (week 6)
- Do Marc’s 10 years of old CFAI exam Binders with the irrevalant old stuff taken out (cry) (week 6-2)
- More Mocks/ CFAI Sample (week 2)
- Review notes (last week 1)
Hope to end with 500 hours. Hope to play the sympathy card with God letting him watch me be sleepless and half dying so I can get my life back. Pray for my friends to pass as well as for myself.
Then buy a jacked up toy truck in June to reward myself! You can’t really do “Urban Farming” in an MBz.
 
I just did 15/10 questions a day for the last 45 days on Ethics and GIPS respectively. Takes 20 minutes each to do and learn from the mistakes. I never spent time on reading ethics or GIPS.
Worked big time for me. Good luck!
 
ive gone through the material 2-3 times now and done bb. This week ill do all EOC’s and hopefully start mocks on may 1st until dd.
“Let’s see wct2010’s business card”
Godism, how long you in boston for? I’d like to join that study session if its on the weekend
knock on wood, in a very short time we can look back and tell candidates how easy this journy was and how little we studied hah.
 
Except for ethics, I will be done with the curriculum early next week.
Then I have around 2 volumes’ worth of EOC’s still outstanding.
Then I will go for the first mock in the first week of May.
From then onwards it’s pretty much doing one mock / week + redoing BB’s and EOC’s + ethics until the exam.
I am happy since I am 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
But the hard part starts with mocks.
Even then, I am looking forward to not having new curriculum to read in a few days.
