As of now i have only completed Economics and FRA sections. I am in panic right now as i need at least one month to do practice problems and mocks. There are many sections left and i don’t know how much time they would take and whether i’ll be able to complete curriculum one month before December.
 
You should start on questions and practice exams, reviewing material in the curriculum on the questions you get wrong.
You’re in a poor position, but you can try to make the best of it.
 
How much time other sections would take in total if i start from today
 
You are in trouble for sure. Only chance you have is to hit practice problems hard and hope you can learn it on the fly.
 
Take a practice exam (or one session) cold right now as a barometer. Try to find time to read your worst 2-3 topics (depending on what they happen to be). Beef up on FRA and Quant, since that foundation will carry you through most of the calculations on the exam.
After each set of questions/mock, make a flash card for any term you didn’t recognize or couldn’t remember correctly. If you can remain diligent from here on, you should be fine. Don’t panic yet - just be strategic about it from here on out.
 
If there’s any breathe of hope, realize that although you’re behind in sections, the actual page count of the material is heavily condensed in ethics/quant/economics/FRA so you can at least cover corp finance, portfolio management, and alternatives/derivatives really quickly.
But as everyone said, uphill battle. rgk’s notecard suggestion and also generally repeating problems you get wrong over and over is a good one
 
Lol we are on the same boat , actually you are slightly better. i haven’t even finished vol 1 yet. Anyways, what i recommend is that Ethics are quite important, i believe u must go through it first , set 3-4 days for it specially reading 2 , because its time-consuming, if you dont give it time now ,later would be very hard. afterwards you can start practicing .
