28 days CFA challenge

I am living with a girl who I met back from uni days. She has worked in AM for almost a year and is now taking CFA level 1. Back when she was registering for the exam I made a comment about CFA level 1 not being too hard and that really pissed her off. We then made a bet on doing it in 30 days. We agreed that:

If I fail with 30 days prep (28 days left now), I will have to cover her level 2 fee and pay her another £1000.

If I pass with 30 days prep, I get to sleep with her for a month.

So that's it. Just a bit of background I am a graduate student in a STEM subject so I have no prior knowledge in finance/business/accounting. I have asked my supervisor for 15 days off before my exam to prep for it though. Started yesterday and I have gone through first 2 chapters quite comfortably, hopefully it will not get a lot harder later on!

Wish me good luck guys!
