A good general never blames his battlefield. A good carpenter never blames his tools.
I used Nathan Ronen and didn’t purchase any other prep except for mock exam for MC practice: IFT you get 3 x exams for cheap; Konvexity 3 x PM exams for cheap; Fin Quiz had a full free exam online.
I watched Nathan’s vids twice. First time taking notes and doing all his practice walk through. Second time hitting EOC.
From the last weekend in March, I started hitting CFA Mocks and all the aforementioned ones. A week before the exam, i redid the CFAI exams and got through 6/7 AM exams only (just reading and answering in my head); worked my way from 2018 backwards with what ever time remained.
Result: 90% percentile. I did well in the AM but killed the PM (like near perfect scores) thanks in large part to IFT, Konvexity and FIn Quiz PM practice…I didn’t put much into the EOC.
