      Hi Everyone, I’m about halfway through book 1 and book 2, and just starting book 6. I find I can take a break from one subject by reading another, which means I can swap around and come back when I feel ready.Gives time for something to sink in, and if it hasn’t then clearly I need to go back over it anyway. Got the Qbank this morning! Hurrah :-/
      Went to a mtg lastnight for all the Dec candidates based in Vienna, about 25, and was pleased to note that only about half have started studyin already. Although that might just mean they will take a month off before the exam to study fulltime. Anyway it made me feel mch better 🙂
      And just starting to do the speed reading which was suggested on this site… do it without realising when i get the boring part in a novel, but then slow down for the good parts. Need to apply this to the CFA books now…
      best,
      Rich

            I felt the same way after the morning session – quite good, but must have flagged during the afternoon, as I had to guess quickly about 4 or 5 questions right towards the end. But… as I started at the beginning and then jumped to the end and then turned back to the middle I only had 5 difficult calculation questions to guess at which I probably would have guessed at anyway! 🙂
            I’m taking a well deserved study break, and will be much wiser if I need to resit in June.
