Read the material again and highlight the key points, topics, and formulas. Then take notes on the highlighted material. For me this helps reinforce key topics. Also be smart about the test, ethics and the CIT are 20% of the exam and this time around you will have a understanding how the essay portion is structured. You will be fine and your summer will not be lost, 5-10 hours a week between now and then will get the job done.
for your info, i used uppermark, i used their notes and qbank (even tho they have been delaying their schedule again and again), their quality is great. i dont have that much time to read the text, i just revised their notes, do their qbank, long questions, say for a few times and make sure i understand whats going on. thats pretty helpful actually.
Superlamp - What was your section breakdown like? Do you think you were close to passing? Do you think the MC section or the CR (constructed response) was stronger for you? I would say that the retake hurdle is probably higher if you didn’t do as well on the MC section than the CR, which, frankly, is primarily memorization and isn’t too beneficial to study too far ahead of the test date.
Also, I can’t speak for Kaplan since I used Uppermark, but perhaps you might want to give the latter a try. While Uppermark wasn’t perfect, it worked for me for both levels and maybe getting a fresh perspective by switching test prep providers might give you the psychological boost as well.
Superlamps -I used Kaplan and did the online classes. Once I finished reviewing the Kaplan material, I did about 12 practice tests (1 part at a time - between kaplan, the CAIA mock) and made note cards as penance when I got something wrong. I did about half the practice tests 4-5 weeks out and then reused some of them when it was not fresh in my mind. This seemed to work for me, especially since I had ~200 note cards to focus on. I cannot begin to stress trying the free response as if it was the real test. If I got it wrong, I reviewed and put on note cards. I did 2 full practice tests (CAIA Mock and Kaplan Mock) 2 weeks before and 1 week before, then focused on my notecards.
One other thing - use the CAIA website material with their questions. I actually wish I did that more. Get after it and good luck. You will succeed!
Hello, fellow Irishman Superlamps. I used the CAIA textbook and Uppermark Testbank (stand-alone) for both L1 and L2. It was quite difficult as the book for L2 is massive and goes off on tangential discussions in places. However, since everything in the exam has to be based on this one text, you will have read the material needed to answer all questions at least once. Some of the “gimme” questions that would’ve got me past the line (barely this time) were from very obscure one-liners in the book that I luckily happened to remember.
I’d say the official text along with Uppermark Testbank is the way to go, plus a Kaplan or Uppermark Notes package if you’re splashing out. I’d recommend starting the mock exams at least a month before the exam though. I left it way too late last time! Best of luck and fair play for cracking back into it. 
Thanks again all for the responses. Great to see another Irish guy on here too - mcguinn I was contemplating the L2 official text. I did use it for L1, but being totally honest it was horrible to read. I’d compare it to reading a Holy Bible
That been said, I may still consider it depending on how much more knowledge I can get from the Kaplan notes. Time will tell I guess
I bought the text and purely read it before I received the Kaplan material since they and Upper Mark were both delayed. It was very intuitive and actually quite easy to read and take notes on. The only downside was that it was extremely time consuming. Good luck sir!
