Level 2 Study Strategy

[sss23]

So I passed Level 1 last June which I know is significantly easier than level 2. I’ll probably get alot of negative feedback for this question or strategy but let me know if it definitely won’t work. So I went throguh the Schweser books once last time and when I got through felt like I had retained maybe 15% of the material. Seeing how much time it takes to get through the books this doesn’t seem like a great investment of time to me. Towards April I printed all the LOS at the end of each section in Schweser that does a good job summarizing the main points of the section. I pretty much commited these to memory going through them roughly 10 times and over 300 flashcard formulas. Then I took about 6 practice tests and passed. So would it be crazy to repeatedly go over the LOS summary sections for level 2 until I have them down and relevant formulas, then continuially take practice tests? I need repetition for things to stick with me and going through 2,500 pages of material multiple times isn’t really an option. any thoughts? thanks

Not a terrible option, the LOS is what is testible. Just make sure you read around the exact LOS as well so you have a good enough background of whats going on and how they will ask questions and require you to manipulate formulas.
If thats what worked for you last time I dont see why it wouldnt this time, but a L3 candidate of charterholder would be in a better position to say than I would

I think you are making a big mistake. You could get away with that in Level I because of the sheer amount of material that is being tested. Level II is the opposite. Less topics but much much more indepth requirement of knowledge. This level isn’t memorize a formula and pass, it requires actual knowledge of the topics and knowing how to apply them.
