L1 in November (anxious AF)

Level 1

My exam is on Nov 12 and I’m starting to get really anxious lol. So far I’ve finished Quant, FI, Derivatives, AI, FSA (I stopped halfway through because it just wasn't clicking and I didn't want to waste time), and I'm currently doing Equity. I’m hoping to finish the remaining topics by the end of September and leave around 30 days for revision + mocks.

I’ve been doing MM lectures and CFAI LES questions but somehow I still feel like I'm so behind and that I've forgotten everything I did.

For context, I'm an Econ grad so I'm hoping Econ will be fast for me but I struggled with FI and SO much with FSA (enough that I left it halfway lol - for now ofc)

For people who passed L1, does this sound like I’m on track? At what point did you actually start feeling confident?
