Those first 2 Schweser's were tough but I'm glad they woke me up a little. They used a lot of calculation questions which were time burners and they also used the least likely convention which always makes you work a little bit harder to find the right answer since 3 of the choices are correct. Reviewing the exams afterwards has been great. Even on the questions I got right, reviewing the answer is a great way to go over material and make it strong.

I am noticing that a lot of the material is crystallizing now and I'm retaining a lot more than I did at the beginning. I've seen the same concepts tested in different ways and I've also seen questions on obscure topics which should help if they come up again on the exam.

So far here's how I feel on each section

Ethics - thought this was one of my stronger sections but I am barely breaking 70% and sometimes not even. I definitely need to read the SPC again.
Quant - very strong. I'll make the occasional dumb mistake but I'm consistently breaking 80% on this section. This is as expected given my background and exposure to this material
Economics - this section is just weird for me. I feel like I'm guessing on every answer but I always seem to score decently well. I've broken 70% most of the time. I don't want to spend too much time reviewing this material but I don't feel confident despite my good scores so far.
FSA - This is hit or miss with me. Sometimes I do very well, sometimes I'll do mediocre.
Corp Finance - Pretty strong. I get tripped up on some of the obscure material that I've been hit with but now that I've seen most of it, I think I'll be ok on this
Portfolio Management - I kick this section's ass routinely. I wish it was a bigger part of the exam.
Equities - Strong, I just get this stuff. The trivial pursuit obscure stuff gets me from time to time but the core stuff I'm good on.
Fixed Income - Strong, it all clicks now
Derivatives - Hit or miss on this one. Another section where I should probably do better on but I dont want to burn too much precious time reviewing.
Alternative Investments - Good here. I won't spend much time if any reviewing this and will just use the exam questions to teach me what I need to know. This is such a small portion of the exam(6 questions), that approach is just fine.

I'm going to take a break from exams tomorrow and just review some key sections and the Secret Sauce. I've been using Schweser's cheat sheet and I also have the one from AnalystNotes I will probably go thru. I probably wont get to finish all the exams I have available to me and want to wrap up with the 2 CFAI mocks either Wed-Thurs.

So far feeling good but not time to let up on the gas.
