Studying WWI SCIMISCR
I started my studies on 14th August and completed all of them 4 days back. I did all the EOC from schweser while reading. Now I want to start revision and practice but I am not getting clear picture of how to do it. As I’ve just read the material once and realy think I dont remember anything) have thought of this strategy to revise and practice:
1. Re-read Key Concepts of all books (Or better to read Secret Sauce? Will this take time?), after finishing a chapter’s key concepts, practice EOC questions in schweser AND CFAI and then move to next chapter and repeat until al books are done.
2. Once I finish step 1, as I would have revised the whole material and learned all formulas, I wil go for Schweser practice exam one by one and will do mocks on weekends.
Can these two steps be done with these many days left (Ern working full time)? I am afraid step 1 might take too long and eat my practice exam time on the other hand I think I cant start practice exam because I dont remember anything at all.
Please guide.

Could anyone give a brief explanation on why a share repurchase is considered a way of paying dividends to shareholders? And why is usually considered a better action than paying dividends with cash?
Thanks?

Usually those companies who are not paying di/Wends regularly use this approach. Hence through repurchase company pays a cash and buy back the part of shares outstanding, Though the shareholders who sold their shares benefited with cash back( dividend Is also a form of paying cash to shareholders).

So, if anyone has any further doubts, you can post your questions on the EduPristine forum!
