This is Where I Pass or Fail

I have finished reviewing portfolio management. That was the last area I had to learn before the exam. For once, I am not entirely satisfied with my performance. I spent a great deal of time working on the material and have enjoyed PM in past exams. However, this year they added a really long reading which I am certain this will ask some questions on. Mentally, I was prepared to review PM, not learn it. My schedule beyond PM was written in stone and I won't push it back. That means that I feel somewhat prepared for PM, but this is the one area of the exam where I didn't feel 100% test ready at the end. I will make some time to review and learn what I can, but I'll have to go to war with the weapons I have, not the weapons I want.

Now I have 31 days before the test. I have spent the last 5 months learning material, and at the end of learning the matrial, I felt really confident. However, some of that material is stuff I learned in January. I have certainly forgotten some of it. Now is the time to review. It took me a week and a half to learn economics. I have given myself today to review it. The next two days are ethics (more important part of the exam). If I give myself a weekday to review each study session I will need 18 weekdays - the exact number left in May. Each Saturday I will take a practice exam, and on Sunday I will review the parts of the exam I missed. That should take me through the 1st of June. Then that week I will focus on individual concepts that I have trouble with. I will be taking the test in Chicago (visiting in-laws) so I will arrive a couple of days early. If I remember everything that I knew when I finished learning the material, I should be in a solid position to perform well. I will keep updating on my review. The review for the rest of May will determine whether I pass or fail the Level 2 exam.
