      I’m still a few weeks away at least.

      A strategy I’ve implemented this go-around is doing the section of a practice exam pertaining to the topic that I just revised. So for example, after completing all my notes/revision for Equity, I would test myself with the Equity section of a mock exam.

      I’ve been doing that as I complete each section and by the end of it I’ll have written about 3 practice exams. Once I complete all sections, I’ll move on to doing whole practice exams.

      Just an idea, but it was something I devised to give me practice exam exposure early on.

      @policdog Yeah, that’s true. I forgot that not everyone uses Schweser. After completing the initial 3 mock exams, this method will leave you with about 6 remaining practice exams:

      3 Schweser Practice Exams
      2 CFAI Sample Exams
      1 CFAI Mock Exam

      So after all is said and done, you’ll have completed 9 practice exams!

          I’m going to start once i’m done with all the topics. My aim is to start by the end of April or beginning of May.

            You’ll need a lot more practice exams that way…. But I suppose that isn’t a bad thing.

            Haha that would be hardcore! But it was mainly to illustrate what you could do. As for me, I typically get in 4 or 5 Schweser mock exams and the CFAI mock exam.

            I don’t think you should start doing practice levels unless you are semi-comfortable with the material. I personally don’t think it is worthwhile to do a practice exam if you are unsure about most of even half of the questions.
