When is everyone planning to stop studying? I am debating whether there is any value in continuing till Friday or should I stop on Thursday and use Friday as a rest day so that I am relaxed and ready for the test on Saturday.
 
My plan is to have Friday be a relatively relaxing and easy day. Did an AM mock this morning, doing a PM here soon. Plan to do the CFAI mock tomorrow. Will probably spend most of Friday working problems in areas I’m testing poorly on and going through the flash cards I’ve made. The more I test and keep finding areas of weakness, the more I feel like Friday is going to be a full on study day though…
 
i’ll pretty much only review ethics and formulas on friday. mocks and revising till then

Same I reread ethics and the ROS early this morning. Significantly improved my understanding and scores on problems. I’m going to do some reading and problems on my fringe areas –> Econ, Portfolio Management, and FRA’s Swaps then formulas tonight.
Friday will be light readings + Forumula review + a lot of prayers to the big man upstairs :D
 
I will read and do what i can till like 7pm on friday, then take a break for the remainder of the day. Wake up by 4am on Saturday and have a quick recap of the 10 subjects.
 
Probably stop tomorrow (thurs) - I got Deriv, PM, and Ethics to review one last time. My philosophy is that if you don’t know it by now then you probably aren’t going to learn it. I see people standing in line waiting to enter the exam and they are still stydying. Why add to the anxiety????
 
I’m done “studying”. I’ll be reviewing notes and flashcards to keep things fresh through Friday early evening though.
 
I found Schweser formula sheet which also includes concepts a great thing for the last minute reminder.
 
I’m just going to skim through 11th hour guide and review my flash cards and ROS one last time.

Will review so notes on quants and portfolio and re write the equations one more last time. that would take place on friday.
 
I will probably do the 11th hour guide on Friday. Should be able to skim through it in 4 hours.
 
I re-read only ROS almost 10 times besides reading entire chapter from official curriculum. Each time I discovered new details. And there is only few page content.
 
I’ll call it quits around 8pm on friday. try to go to sleep by 9. There’s going to be a shit ton of people writing in toronto so it’s best to get there early (~630-7 am)
 
Just finished rewriting my notes/formula sheet for quant Eco and FRA. Will finish the rest of the topics tomorrow. Along the way I drill the areas I am a little light on. Don’t think I will do anymore questions or tests. Just look over everything on Friday and read ROS
 
I wish i could fly to the US for the exam and get an extra day to study.

Hahaha kmon mate you willbe fine, one day will no make difference
I was thinking to stop studying now and in the day of the exam create a message to the CFAI with the letters of the anwsers….
ACABABA
Which in spanish mean “finished”.
I need to sleep. My brain is quite damaged now
 
Bizarrely I have not felt any burn out in all the months of studying but today I got to a point where I just stopped caring anymore.
I was looking at a really simple question asking to translate some statements using the temporal method and I just blankly stared at it for about 4 minutes trying to recall what whether we used AR or HR. I knew it but In that moment everything i knew about CFA just turned into a haze of misery. Any time I tried to recall it my brain blanked out again, like it was overly saturated. Was truly a surreal feeling never had it before. I cannot wait for it to be over. I am mind numbingly bored of this material now.

Mate I read you the last days and looks quite stressed. There is no more to do now, is better to rest and chill and get energy for the exam
that will give you more chances than 2 days stressed memorizing things
