            You’re done the toughest section (FRA); you can project forward your time knowing that with Quant, FRA and Econ you’re done 42% (http://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfaprogram/exams/Pages/exam_topic_area_weights.aspx) so far. Try to leave 3-4 weeks for review and decide if you need to speed up or not. Know that you’ll likely need to increase your avg study time/day as you go forward to accommodate reviewing past topics so that you aren’t forgetting everything.

                Thanks everyone for your inputs, really appreciate it. I think it also helps to do a lot of questions – I am doing the Schweser Pro Q bank after each chapter, helps me understand concepts better. Unfortunately I did not make any major notes except for scribbling important stuff on the text book itself, until I read your note Pranav. My focus is to finish my first read of the curriculum asap, but like Tim and Sidharth mentioned, I must start accommodating time to review past topics. Thanks once again everyone 🙂
