How many hours so far? How many more hours?

~400 hours so far; will cross 500 by exam time, as I’m taking the week off before the exam so that week will easily be 70 hours. This is the last one so I’d rather really make a go of it and get my free time back afterwards…lots of alcohol waiting for me the evening of June 4 :)
For next two weeks, finish first stab at all mocks (6 Schweser, plus 2.5 CFAI - 3 past AM exams and 1 mock of 120 MC questions = 2.5 exams to me) and look at problem areas (so may focus on the CFAI topic tests for those areas) while rereading notes at least twice. I’m on Schweser #6, and 25% through first read of my notes, so making decent pace.
I’ll redo one exam per day from the Saturday or Sunday before until Thursday, then reread notes (and to a lesser extent, formulas) over and over again after that in the time left.
 
I have no idea how many actual hours I’ve put in… I feel like on this level I have spent nearly the same amount of attempted study time, while feeling like my effective study time has been much less. Like someone else said, due to the nature of the material I have found it much harder to remain focused while reading/studying. Gotta fight this feeling!
Think I’m good for another 90 hours or so, including the week before the exam which I have off work. I also need to find time to fit in Ethics and GIPS which have gone completely untouched thus far. If I spend ony 10 hours on Ethics and 7 on GIPS, I should still have time to complete my remaining 7 half mock exams and the Schweser live mock (counting 5 hours each- 3 for the test and 2 for review) and finish the rest of the topic tests (I’m about halfway through).
