Should I go back and relearn MBA finance coursework before networking/applying for jobs?

After a few years in a PT MBA program I've forgotten a lot of what I learned. So I was thinking of structuring my days like this:

50% re-read relevant chapters of my finance textbooks in six areas: futures/options, intro to finance, corp fin, debt instruments, modern porftfolio theory, statistics. I'll weight studying by areas I'm most interested; so less of corp fin for example.

25% of my day using web/emailing people to try to learn what the different areas of finance there are (within trading there seems to be so many products/desks - and that's just trading, not IM etc).

25% leisure/errands

I feel like at this moment I can't have an intelligent conversation about finance content or the industry, so I'm hesitant to network or apply for jobs right now.
