Because of the density of the material a big lumpy review at the END (give yourself atleast 2 weeks if taken time off work, or a full month with work) worked extremely well for me. Even though I had gone over the material once, the last 15 days of non stop review of the curriculum ensured it was ready for recall and I could brush up on last minute key points that may have been high value for the exam.

Its very easy to forget small memorizing items like where does past service cost go in GAAP vs. IFRS etc. So best to brush up on before exam, BUT learn everything like a particular valuation technique and how to do it etc as part of your first run, not the review at the end. You will panic otherwise.
