#CFA Over last two nights I studied SS6 which covers Pensions and Multinational Operations. I switched up my routine a little bit and instead of doing the readings first, I decided to watch the lectures first and then do questions. This has worked really well for me so far, the material makes more sense watching the lecture than simply reading a bunch of text. I find I can get to the core concepts earlier and grasp them faster this way. I felt like I had to reread the study guides a few times to understand the stuff and it was draining. This way I can cover the material faster and use the study guides to fill in the blanks as I go thru the quizzing.

This material was not that bad, I really got the hang of it on first try. I don't think I could have grasped this material this fast simply reading the texts. Peter Olinto really does a great job of presenting this stuff and working thru problems designed to help you master it.

I think my new routine from now on will be:

Mondays - Watch lectures and quiz

Tuesdays - Watch remaining lectures and quiz

Wednesdays - Requiz on Monday's material and do item sets

Thursdays - Requiz on Tuesday's material and do item sets.

Friday - OFF

Saturdays/Sundays - Review notes, reread study guides and fill in the blanks with any lessons learned from the quizzing.

Of course each study session is different and the schedule may not work out exactly, but at a high level this is what I'll stick to the rest of the way.
