1: Take a practice test (using Schweser Q-bank)
2: Find section I did the poorest on
3: Re-work all problems from that section using CFAI materials or Schweser abbreviated notes
4: Goto 1

So this is specifically attacking my areas of incompetence unlike the previous time when I was just working random problems from random chapters. It’s not very enjoyable, but hopefully more efficacious. My biggest problem this time around is just finding 1 hour per day to actually study.

good luck!

Hope your preparation is going on well.

I am still struggling to cover the level 2 topics. I started Ethics section and I notice that the lengthiest chapter (Guidelines to SOPC) is the same as in level1, except the End of chapter problems. I guess I can review my old notes from level1, and solve problems from level2. That should save me sometime right?

I would be happy if you have any other recommendations for us ..

thanks,

unlike you i was not confident that i’d passed level one, but it turned out that i did.

i felt a similar lack of confidence after level two, and indeed i didn’t pass.

despite having taken level two once already, i’m still scoring very low on the practice tests. but this time, instead of trying to study all chapters equally, i’m just focusing on the ones where i perform worst in the practice tests. right now, that would defined benefit pension accounting. yuck.
