Last-Minute Tips
Pack Your Exam Essentials Early
Don’t wait until the night before the exam to look for your calculator or ID.
Review Your Formulas/Main Concepts One Last Time
On the night before the exam, spend a calm half-hour flipping through your flashcards or formula sheet. Then relax.
Arrive Early
Being late adds unnecessary stress. Arrive with time to spare so you can settle in.
What Does “Final Review” Mean?
A final review is your focused push toward the end. By now, you’ve done a lot of studying—read chapters, practiced questions, maybe taken a few mock exams. The final month is about:
Consolidating Key Concepts
Revisiting the most important ideas so they’re fresh in your memory.
Shoring Up Weak Areas
Checking your dashboard to see which chapters need a bit more consideration.
Practicing Under Timed Conditions
Doing mini exams to build stamina and speed.

Final Review: Your Last Month Before the Big Exam
The finish line is in sight, but the last month before your exam can feel intense. Your mind might race with questions: “Have I studied enough? What if I forget formulas on exam day?” Relax. Our Final Review page is here to help you focus, review systematically, and walk into the exam room with confidence.

Techniques for Mastering High-Priority Topics
Create Mind Maps
For complicated topics like derivatives or fixed income, draw a mind map. Put the main topic in the center, add branches for subtopics, and fill in formulas or definitions.
Teach Someone Else
Explaining a topic to a friend or study buddy helps you understand it better yourself.
Focus on Past Mistakes
Go through your old question sets and note where you made mistakes. Focus on not repeating those errors.
Check Your Dashboard & Assessment
Scores
-
First, see where you stand. If the dashboard shows you’re strong in Portfolio Management but shaky in Derivatives, you know exactly where to focus.
-
Spend more time on those red (weak) areas.
Use Mock Exam Mode (If You Have Pro)
-
If you’re a Pro user, try at least one full-length timed mock exam each week. This helps you gauge your endurance and speed.
-
After each mock exam, review every single wrong answer. Make notes on why you got it wrong and how to fix that next time.
Daily Refreshers
-
Continue with your daily refresher notifications. They might feel small, but they keep the material alive in your memory.
-
If you see a refresher about the Time Value of Money, spend a few extra minutes practicing related questions.
Ask the AI
