| I passed my level 1 last June, and I will advise that you start with FSA SO DAT U FULLY UNDERSTAND IT AS IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC....And do the Ethics just before the exams..... |

| Hey. You think if I start preparing now and will study for 16-18 hours a week I will get a good chance at passing the exam. I dont have much finance background in finance. I have a marketing degree. Any thoughts on that? |

| I would go through the 18 study sessions in order, except for portfolio management, which I would study last because it uses information from some of the other study sessions. So I would look at Ethics first, reading the material and answering as many questions as I could. A lot of candidates don't put as much effort into Ethics as they should, but it's 15% of the Level 1 exam and the questions aren't always so easy and straightforward. I'm a big believer in space learning--When I look at material a few weeks later, it makes a lot more sense to me because my subconscious mind has had a chance to learn the material while I'm not think about it consciously. (At least I hope it works that way...) |

i covered the material in order, and allowed sufficient time at the end for review.
remember you are being tested on taking 2 x 3 hour multiple choice exams, and in the final days this is what you need to practise.
Don't get dis-heartened as you plod through some of the material, you will get to the end if you stick at it.
Do all the EOC and post-it note the ones you found hard so you can re-visit.
Do as may mocks as you can, the exam q's were quite similar!
