Study Tips

Consistency Over Intensity

Study 2-3 hours daily rather than cramming. Spaced repetition improves long-term retention.

Practice Early & Often

Start doing practice questions from Week 1. Active recall is more effective than passive reading.

Focus on Weights

Ethics, FSA, and Fixed Income make up ~45% of the exam. Allocate study time proportionally.

Mock Exams Matter

Take at least 3-4 full mock exams in the final weeks. Simulate real exam conditions with timing.
