Ok, so its time for reviewing. How is everyone planning to tackle the review process or how are they currently reviewing?? Are you going to just keep doing problems and/or browse through the topics again? I will take sample exams in November, not now its too early. I think I'm going to do end of chapter problems and then see where I have weaknesses or lapse of memory and review that section then continue on till complete. Any ideas or suggestions?
 
Im spending time manually outlining the chapters. Actually typing out the subjects helps drill home the material. Then I'll review the outlines and the flashcards. After that, I guess its just focusing on problems.
 
Caspian - I did that for the June 2006 exam, and it does help you digest all the information better, but it can take too much time. I've realized that the best way to make sure you know all subjects is by doing MANY problems and exams. I would definitely suggest that you leave more than a month and half to do problems and exams� I didn�t do that for June, but that�s my plan for December.
 
Yeah I agree that outlining is useful but it is very time consuming and I would rather spend that time doing problems. I have Stalla System and CFA Books, but to kick off the review I'm doing old end of the chapter problems from a 2003 Schweser packet. Yes I nkow its outdated but many of the nuts and bolts still apply, i will not use it for Ethics. I also have a review book and exam book from teh 2003 schweser that I'll use for reinforcement. I'm only using them b/c i got them for free :)
 
I agree that problems are the way to go. Thats the only way to really "learn" the material. You can read and read all you want, but if you cant answer questions, you got nothing.

That being said, I planned on leaving about a month, the entire month of November, for problems, although I imagine that will spill over into October as well. Im already looking at the flashcards, and I plan on going through them at least once (ignoring my plan to carry them around with me everywhere and anywehre I go).
 
I have a BPP question book, so I am reviewing my notes that I made on a chapter and then doing the questions, and re learning any areas that are weak. From the start of November, it will be just doing past exams for a month, and working in 3 hr blocks, to get use to exam structure.
