Study Session 5,6,7

Now things are getting interesting!

I wouldn't say the material here is necessarily difficult. It's just a bit frustrating to get through. You really have to be your own judge here and know where you can and cannot push yourself. I for one tried to take breaks (having been travelling) but even when I tried to come back to study, it was frustrating. Another big break is coming up (President's Day Weekend) and so I have to avoid falling behind by getting through as much as possible. But I don't want to burn out. So what I have had to do (and it is a compromise) is to just read the sections without going in to too much depth KNOWING FULL WELL THAT I'LL COME BACK. Because these sections are pretty much the kind you have to do to learn. So that way, I don't feel too much pressure to stay on schedule, and I'm absorbing as much as I can, and the more important topics can be fresher on my mind when I get to the exam. I wouldn't recommend this for many people, and it definitely seems like this is the worst section to be giving that kind of advice, so I go back to my earlier statement of you having to be your own judge.

The topics that I've just been through: Exconomics, Foreign Exchange, and Introduction to Financial Statement Analysis.

Takeaways:
Be your own judge - don't burn out
If you have to, put down the notecards and pens and just read.
YOU MUST COME BACK to do the problems.
