Prepare a planner for your prep..You can preferably get it from 300hours.com and customize according to your needs.
Be sure to use CFA curriculum for atleast heavy weight topics like FRA, Equity, Derivatives, Ethics. U can use Schweser as a reference material.
CFAI EOCs and blue boxes are to be solved compulsarily. Doing EOCs atleast twice is advisable.
U can go about solving atleast 4-6 mocks in last two months of your prep. Also a round of CFAI topic wise questions and CFAI mock would do your preparation a world of good.
Be sure to revise the entire material atleast twice after you are done with it.
Go about preparing your notes, formula sheet, list of difficult concepts/questions so you can hammer it down your system and know it cold.
Note : I used Schweser for my prep, however any third party material which suits your style of study can be used.
 
Why would you want advice from someone who passed out during the exam?
Get a good night sleep the night before the exam (and even two nights before as a safety net).
 
there are many things you can do to pass out. There is no strategy needed, just go with the flow, but remember not to mix beer with grey goose, I did it once and the outcome was not pleasant.
 
I have used IFT videos and that brought the difference from band 10 to a pass. I would suggest use kaplan notes and kill major sections fra equity ethics plus see which portion cfaI has done changes pay special attention to those, I observed they test u on new concepts as well 2014 was portfolio and 2015 was fixed income.
I got mocks from one of my analyst forum friends (klaudnine) if u want I can share them with you.
Also seek help from magician sir. He is a gem.
I am sure u will rock 2016.
Best wishes!
