I was pretty busy with family , interviews and applications the past couple of months. And i now realised that there is not much time left for the exam. What i wanted to know was whether it is possible to pass if i give a total of 6 weeks to the exam. Planning to start in mid-april (will be full time studying - no job - during those days using holdidays leave etc). Or should i just plan on sitting the exam next year
 
Yeah 6 weeks of full time, dedicated study should be enough if you work hard….smash it out of the park!!!
 
If you can follow through, then you’ll be good. If not, then we know why.
 
6 weeks is tough…but if you treat it like a FT job and put in 50 hrs/week or so, should be possible. You’re going to have to eat, sleep and breathe CFA L3. Not something I’d be interested in…

6 weeks full-time is a luxury that very few us have. You will be more than fine.

Wish I viewed my Feb-layoff in ER as a luxury to prep for this but struggling to atm lol
 
Wow you can easily do that if you can put concentrated efforts of 8 Hours per day * 45 days = 360 Hours , better then what CFAI claims for required to be passing, but better put extras 10 %. I don’t have this luxury.

In situations like these, if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t.

OK then I won’t say how I think you’ll fail, too.

No matter how many hours a day and how many total hours you end up with, at this point you need to embrace that you are in full on cram mode. You need a structured approach, you should emphasize doing problems, and you should get familiar with the morning section sooner rather than later.
The main risk I see is that you don’t take mock exams early enough because you’re “not quite done covering all the material”.
