My background is a middle age man in the financial services industry (series 6,63) with a degree in engineering. I had a economic and probability class years ago in college but Im not remembering it being on this level. Also, I had zero accounting background. I am studying full time to prepare for the test.
I have been studying over the past month covering sections 1-6 at moderate success. Apx a week and a half ago, I started 7 and 8 and got blown away.. Late last week it started making sense but I am still having trouble creating CFO sheets, etc as I tend to leave things off. then I hit the last section of 8 with apx 50 ratios to memorize (of which I got much down but not instinctive yet ) and started ch 9 first two sections tonight.
My question arises is what I should expect to take place next or any strategies to maximize my studying? I was originally planning to have it done within 2 months and then have 2-3 weeks left to do practice, however so far the accounting section has taken about a half a week to a week more than i anticipated.
Im curious for non accounting/ financial services industry is the accounting section the most challenging part. or should i be expecting to get even more difficult with the remaining sections. Is what im doing doable for Dec?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
