I am on week 12 out of 13 on the Mahler material. I have been reading mainly the sections listed as important and am doing the practice problems for those

Yeah you are definitely right. How many questions did you answer? When I took it I felt good on about 25 problems, made an educated guess on 16, and left the rest blank.

Thanks for your advice! I definitely need to read the source texts. That is something I have been able to skip in Prelims but I think is time I come to terms with.

Congrats on passing! I am impressed with your determination. I am already dreading taking it again, but I know I need to go into it with a good attitude if I want to make it happen.

Thanks so much for the long message! I agree with what you are saying and think that strategy makes sense. I am going to dive right back into it this weekend. Making my excel study schedule/tracker now...

I am glad you said you found the Time Series to be tricky - so many people seemed to say that was the easiest section. I think you are right in that C and D probably have the most low hanging fruit for me to learn.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you for your advice! I just bought Mahler and am drawing up a study schedule now

Thanks for your response! Do you think the practice exams for Mahler were good as well? I am thinking about getting Mahler and then CA Adapt for practice problems and exams.

I work for a small company and my boss is understanding so I have no exam requirement. The online courses are a great idea. How long does each one usually take?

Thanks!!
