Level 1 – Final week of preparation tips

Targeting weak areas and more practice is great, so in addition to that:

1. start resting well. during my L1 I was quite tired and adrenaline-pumped – I think I would have done much better had I managed to get some decent sleep in the days before that.
2. make sure you have everything you need. Passports need to be valid, so if they need renewing you’ll need to do so. Print out exam tickets, stationery, etc etc. 300 hours has a list here: https://300hours.com/cfa-exam-day-checklist-items#.WD1SFaKLRYc
3. take a day to relax. I like to use the thursday before (2 days before exam). Really try and take at least half a day off and do something you find relaxing. I usually go shopping, haha.
4. memorize stuff. the day before I tend to cram in everything that I’ve not really understood so far, and do a quick read of everything that just needs to be memorized – like GIPS stuff. Sometimes I pick something up that does come up in the exam.

Good luck for this weekend!
