I also just finished C.3 videos. Plan to finish the problems tonight & tomorrow morning.

Seems like there are quite a few people in this thread around the same spot (just starting/finishing MLE's). I hope that's a good thing.

Just finished lesson 28. Starting MLEs now!

Finished the manual last week, and I've memorized the first 115 ASM flashcards. I like to memorize all (most) formulas before I officially start review problems; I find annoying to be constantly flipping through pages for formulas while working problems.

Alright, I'm officially signed up and have my examination time. The best part is that it finishes right around happy hour in the loop

OK, so I've gone through 12 lessons and the corresponding flash cards this past week (no practice problems). My current plan is to finish the manual by September 1, then I'm just drilling problems for 7 weeks or so. An abbreviated version of this study plan got me through MFE, so I'm hoping for the best.

I gave up trying to go through the ASM manual. I'm back to just TIA. I worked all the A.1 problems today. This weekend I'll do A.2 and maybe A.3. I'm not necessarily rewatching all the videos, unless it's an area I feel particularly weak in, and in that case I may also go back and work the applicable ASM sections. I'm just trying to get motivated. Since there are 14 sections of problems, I see no reason why I can't have all of them redone by the end of August. Then September I will do the review problems and SOA problems, drill weak areas, and rework the end of section problems that I didn't get right the first time without a little help (whether checking notes or a solution). October I'll do practice tests (may get to some in September as well). I've signed up for the first day of the exam window in hopes that it motivates me to do more early on (i.e. now). It's a little nervewracking that the first day of the exam window is only a week after 5500s are due but oh well. I am finally feeling motivated, and I hope whatever I see on my transcript from June come Monday only enforces that motivation.

How are you liking the flashcards so far??

Finally finished D.2 practice problems. It's the only section that's taken me more than 2 days. Hoping to finish E.1 and E.2 this weekend.
