Seeking advice

This material is not beyond me. If I am to not pass again, I argue it is primarily because of my own anxiety and not knowledge based. 

Based on what you’ve said, I’ll go ahead and conclude that increasing your confidence is a priority.

One tip I remember reading from the blog is to retake practice exams you’ve previously attempted, so that you get a bit of a confidence booster while still increasing your knowledge (you would have forgotten quite a lot even if you’ve done it before). I would stop grading practice exams, just focus on a ‘collaborative’ approach of learning as you test, rather than focus on finding out what your ‘score’ is.

Find confidence in familiarity, and resist ‘testing’ yourself, even in your study thoughts. Good luck!

For Cfai if it’s late in the game I would still take it but wouldn’t take it under strict conditions if anxiety is an issue. Just go through the questions and answers as an FYI session.
