Started with CFAI books in November, and didnt find them good(also I didnt understand much). By Mid November, I dumped my CFAI books and started with Schweser. I read the whole scheweser material twice and did not do any questions. It took me 4 months to complete the two rounds of Schweser. During the second read, I was making notes so that I dont have to go over the books again. In April I started CFAI questions and was revising two readings every day from my notes. Note that I did not do a single schweser eocqs. By mid may, I was almost done with all readings and eocqs. Fifteen days before the exam I did my first half CFA mock and scored 66%(my first and my last l2 mock). I re read my notes twice in the last 15 days and was trying to memorize the formulas and important concepts. I didnt pass level 2 with flying colors but still I was able to clear it on my very first attempt.
Also note, I did not touch Ethics at all, and thats the reason I got below 50 in ethics.
