I’m shooting to be done CFAI around end of March. Might be first week of April if things get pushed back. Once done, I plan on taking a week off from work and focusing on ethics/old exams.How would you guys spend the next two months? I’ve thought about going over the CFAI again, just SKIMMING one reading a day and doing the questions, or maybe reading Schweser.. I’m studying about 20 - 25 hours a week. Anything thoughts?
Thanks.
 
Yeah
1) Make notecards of key concepts and materials and reviews those over and over
2) Do as many mock exams as you possibly can including past problems. Circle key problems or those you got wrong and keep re-doing them.
3) Skim condensed review notes rather than going back over the entire CFAI skimming.
4) If you do go back through the readings just do all the blue box and end of chapter questions
 
IMO: BB, EOC, mocks.
Over and over. While making notes if you feel like it’s a productive use of your time.
 
I am planning on starting with the mocks in late March. EOCs have been great for retention. I also go back 3 study sessions (e.g., if I am doing SS9, I will spend 3-4 hours in between doing questions on SS6). Worked well for me in L2.
 
Making notes is great thing.
Make notes every time you do not remember formula, etc. Especiallly when you do EOCs and examples.
The main benefit comes from focusing on WRITING notes, while you are reading and then you write this down then retention is far more strong.
