Lagging behind

CFA Level II Quant
#1

Hi,

We have 37 days to go for the exam. I am seriously lagging behind with my studies.

How should I optimize my time?

What are the must do’s in the last 5 weeks.

Thanks,

questions, mocks. Skim reading, or just skip to the blue boxes and work backwardsd from there. Around now is when you throw general reading out the window and do questions and mocks. Most efficient use of time.

Stop whinging, I haven’t started yet, plenty of time.

Sunpak,

Be aware that majority of people posting on this forum are very diligent in their studies and will have done much more than the average L2 taker. Don’t get worried by people saying they’re already getting 70% in their mocks, a lot of people in my office haven’t started questions yet. As long as you’ve finished the readings you’re fine.

As for what you should do, see above (i.e. questions).

#6

memorize formulas, questions, mocks

take time off work if you can

#7

memorize formulas, do EOC questions, mock exams.

READ Elan 11th hour to review and hammer home formulas.

U live your life in fear

^Fear is the best motivator but the key is to be able to cope with the co-existing relationship one needs to be successful.

Sunpak- i think a lot of of are feeling behind but you need to keep plugging away. I personally am going through the EOC questions and using that as an indicator to what i need to revise again. It’s tough to maintain the drive to study everyday but do the best you can and realise this is only an exam (nothing more, nothing less).

Finally, dont listen to TJ, he’s going to make his way to boston one day to roll and realise cfa studies have left him out of shape haha.
