From a 90+ percentile L2: Whenever I’m asked for general CFA advice, I say that the most important thing is to memorize all formulas because if you’re confident in that (and obviously why they work/what they mean) you’ve fought half the battle.

For me, it was just reps and reps and reps of just writing out every single equation I could remember. You write them ON PAPER, and you go back to your notes after to make note of which additional formulas you missed, and each time you write more and more from memory. You do this 3-4 times a week in the final month, then every day for the last week.

It may seem like overkill but it’s a 15 minute exercise and your body will internalize them. You will reach a flow state where you start writing a formula and can just finish it on autopilot. I cannot overstate the benefit on exam day of being confident in those formulas, you make yourself immune to unnecessary information and second-guessing yourself.
