There's 2 choices here: 1) go over one section over and over until you fully understand it, and then not really review it very much until a couple days before the test 2) keep going over the entire curriculum (via Q-bank tests, etc.) every day If anybody knows which method is better (would prefer a scientific response to this!) I would be thrilled. It seems like when I do the 2nd choice I keep learning the same things over and over because I keep forgetting, but I just have a hard time spending an entire day on a single topic and never brushing over the others. |

Sorry, no scientific response for you, but I can tell you what my plan is. For the first run through I'm going over everything lightly and alternating between the CFAI texts and AnalystNotes. When I start to get bored with one section I'll move on to something else that is a bit different, so if problems start to get boring I'll move on to Econ. When I finish a section I'm starting with the AN review questions and then I go over not only the wrong answers but also the right answers to make sure my reasoning was correct and that I wasn't just lucky. The initial run through I'm hoping will be pretty quick, and then after getting a better feel for the topics I'm going to go back and do each section more in-depth, and do the questions at the end of the CFAI chapters (and probably re-do the AN review questions again). |

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
