I have been studying for the past month for the CFA L1 and I am looking for where I should focus now and in the weeks before the test. I am still studying the material and plan to take a few practice test once i finish in about 3 weeks. I am curious if i should focus more on conceptual learning or equations. any advice from someone who has done it and passed. what has worked and did not work for studying. any help is appreciated.

Are you doing the practice questions?
yeah. as i go through the material i try and do 5-10 a day and then once i finish the Mark Meldrum videos imma try and hit 5 hours of questions a day
are you doing the CFA Qbank?
5-10 a day of L1 questions is literally like 5-10 mins a day. I'd be tripling that.
Your focus should start to shift dramatically towards practice over study tbh.
right now from the mark meldrum qbank. will start pulling from cfa though. thanks
