Last Month's Review Strategy

[CFA 2015]

Just wanted to see how everyone is doing at this point and what you plan on doing for the last month of review?
I actually just finished the first pass, did all the CFAI EOC questions and EOC Schweser questions. I haven’t touched Q bank yet.
Shall I use QBank as the major tool for the last month’s review or stick with CFAI EOC questions?
Plan on doing mocks 2nd week in May…

Dont do Qbank and start on mocks immediately.
5 mocks in 5 weeks, redo BB/EOCs between mocks.

Thanks for the advice.

What? Say something. I have been here long enough to bear with anything.

Skip the Q Bank; instead, spend the final 5 weeks practicing prior/mock exams and BBs (in conjunction with reviewing your notes + flashcards). Also, I recommend doing each prior/mock exam you have your hands on 2x in a timed environment (spaced weeks apart, obviously).

3party Mock 5%
Qbank 5%
Hope above portfolio is not too concentrated…

Sounds like mocks + BB +BBs is the way to go.Thanks!

I do take a note from here… For example, from Galli’s comment

 

[derswap07]

between schwersers practice exams and CFAI mocks, how much % of time alloted will give you the best results? I’m planning to do review-practice & was wondering about the priority of the exams, which ones to do first and which ones to do later-nearer the exam time. Any suggestions?

 

[cat15]

Silly question–what are BBs? I just started on the schweser practice tests today.

think BB is Blue Boxes………………………………..

 

[FrankCFA]

I want to adjust the portfoilio to below
Past CFA AM 40%
CFA Mock 20%
CFA EOC/BB 10%
CFA LOS 10% <- Add this one, review it and see if we can fully explain what LOS says

3party Mock 5%
Qbank 5%

How many CFA mocks are there? I only see one…
