Dear IFT team,
as there is only about month and a half left till the december exam, I think many CFA candidates start the transition from studying the curriculum to start practicing. And here is where it gets tricky (at least for me). After studying the theoretical part of CFA for several months we now need to focus more on practicing. And it feels a bit different as I kind of got used to more studying and less practicing. So I am asking for your advice, from where to start this last month and a half sprint?
  • Is it better to start from small quizzes or full fledged mock exams
  • How many full mock exams you suggest to take before the actual exam
  • What is the good system of revision of the material - e.g. just do some questions and then come back to the material if you got smth wrong or go through the whole videos again.
I hope I was able to get my point across, and I hope there are many other candidates who will find the answers for these questions useful.

With respect,
Ilyas

Start with small quizzes and then move to full length exams. 

The more mock exams you do the better.  It really depend on how much time you have.

If you get something wrong review the relevant part of video/curriculum.

Hi everyone,

I need some help.. I have completed my CFA course but right now all topics are getting mixed up.. So before starting with the mock tests i wanted to revise all the topics

So i have 3 options

1. Read the summary from curriculum for all topics
2. Read summary from schweser for all topics
3. Read Arif's Slides

Please suggest what to do..any other method can also be very helpful

Regards,
Mitesh

I would suggest reading the schweser secret sauce.

No matter what you make sure you also do a lot of practice questions.
