How to deal with burnout?
Hi guys,
I am writing L1 on May 16th, and I’m experiencing burnout. I feel like my brain can’t absorb anymore information. I’ve studied so far about 340 hours, and done all the CFAI questions and around 1800 MM questions. I averaged a 72% on the MM questions.
I took two mocks, both mark meldrum. The first I got a 62%. The second I got a 71%. I am trying to determine what I should do moving forward as I feel like I’m not retaining much, maybe take a couple days off but there’s only 35 days left till the exam so that prospect scares me.
I still have some weak spots I want to iron out but cant seem to do it. Let me know how you dealt with this? And if anyone took the L1 MM mocks this year what did you think?
