Here is the 10 step strategy:

The CFA program curriculum is important and all IFT products focus on its core concepts. For each
reading in the curriculum, you should do the following:

1- Make a study schedule and follow it religiously. You need to complete the steps 2 to 7

below about 4-6 weeks before the exam.

2- Watch IFT Detailed Videos carefully. Pause, rewind, review where you need more time to
understand. Print out the slides and take your own notes as you are watching.

3- Read IFT Notes for extra understanding, reinforcing concepts and retaining the knowledge.

4- Read the examples in the curriculum (aka blue-box examples) and do them yourself too.  Review
the IFT Example Videos.

5- Do the practice problems from the curriculum at the end of each reading.

6- Do the IFT Question Bank for that reading.

7- After doing all the above steps for the readings in a topic, do the IFT Topic Exam for that topic.

8- Use IFT High-Yield videos & High-Yield notes for two purposes:

(i) To not forget the readings which you studied earlier**

(ii) To comprehensively revise in the last 6-8 weeks before the exam.

(IFT High-Yield product focus on the 20% material which is most testable).

9- A month prior to the exam, you should practice with full length mock exams. The mock exams
should be done in a manner to replicate your real exam experience. These should be done in a timed
fashion and in one sitting.
