I agree with all this, but my thing is why reinvent the wheel.  These formulas have been around for ever and thousands of people have taken this test over the years.  Has nobody extrapolated a full list of formulas with ways to remember them yet?  I sure could use that!

Here’s the better question…do I really need to remember all the formulas or should I just really know how to use my calculator or some combination of both?

Which formulas are negated by knowing how to use the TI baii plus verses remembering formulas?  I’m sure I will still have to remember formulas but why remember all of them if I know how to use my calculator properly.  Hopefully this all makes sense.

My concern is how much do I need to “absorb”? I ask this question because its one thing to be able to read a passage and a “Reading” section and answer some questions afterwords, and its another to memorize. I ask this question because if you take the first LOS and put it in quotes “describe the structure of the CFA Institute Professional Conduct Program”… and search Google, and look at the second one “Analysts Notes”, they might as well be just reprinting the book. So do I need to start memorizing? Because if I just take notes, I think I might be wasting precious time. I guess what I’m trying to ask is “How” people are studying verses what they are studying. I’m not worried about timeline because I’m a studying machine and can study for hours on end. I just wonder how people are compiling their studies into something that is useful to review?

This might be one time to go with the crowd and buy the other calculator since there is more info out there on it.
