I have read 70% of the CFAI curriculum. Haven’t read Ethics and economic yet. I’m planning to do rest of the readings from Wiley. For review, I have done around 15 reading so far.. Ethics and corporate finance..
I feel like I don’t have enough time for complete review. I’m a MBA student so after my last exam on 22nd this month I have ample amount of time for review. But I would need to do alteast 2-3 readings a day.. I’m flying to Toronto to write level 1. Any suggestions?
 
Depends on how solid you are on the material you have covered. Since you are an MBA student I would gather you have seen much of the curriculum before. …. especially econ.
Perhaps you could get by just doing the EOC problems for economics. Hit the ethics hard. It is super tricky and a huge part of the exam.
Try some practice exam questions. They are a cold dose of reality. I would say if you can average at least 65-70% now, you can probably swing it in December
 
Don’t you have to have exception excuse to defer an exam? Like someone died or you have cancer or something.
 
Thanks for suggestions. I agree that econ is doable in one week and ethics is a tricky part. I just wanted to add that I have been scoring on average 75-85% in Wiley qbank. I should just now focus on equity, fixed income, quant for review while reading Ethics and econ.
 
I’d also skew away from reading and start doing a lot more mock exams and practice problems. Then go read the areas you get wrong
