I just can't get any studying done during my lunch time. If I'm in the office, I can't exclusivlely focus on my studies. I am studying 2-3 hrs a weekday and 5 hrs/day on weekends. Pretty much my weekdays are limited to grabbing dinner and then hitting the books. On weekends, I study during the day so that it frees up my nights for spending time with my wife and going out.

Don't know if this is helpful but here's my method of studying.

1. Read a section.
2. Reread the section again while taking notes
3. Do the exam questions

Once I finish all of the sessions, I'll start reading the books again. Then do the practice exams. Aside from fear of running out of time before I get enough practice exams completed, I think this is a good approach.
 
I gotta get studying.
And reading these posts dont make me feel so good
 
Its interesting that it I can sit and read financial management, derivatives and fixed income in less than a day. But it takes me weeks to dredge thru ethics, economics and quant. Economics is so boring and mostly obvious, once you understand the basics -- I don't understand why there's 9 or 10 chapters, and Econ only counts for about 10 percent of the exam.
 
I hear you. I've had to put the book down a few times and walk away on some of these things.

Storko,

Hang in there. I think the hardest part of studying is getting started. Once you convince yourself to sit down and start reading, it progresses relatively well. You still have a chance to do well, just commit yourself to a schedule and convince yourself that it's only for 2 months.
 
Im pretty much reading though all the books once, and then going back and skimming while doing the questions. After that second time, I'll do the practice exams.
