re: CFP September Exam

Bump for those that have taken the CFP. My current timeline is end classes in mid August and study for exam in November.
Work is taking a toll on me right now with being able to stay on pace with the reading for the courses, but I am able to get through the online class portion and use the outlines to get by.
I noticed a huge difference in my ability on Fundamentals exam where I read and reviewed for every class and insurance where I was using outlines only and watching the classes later and cramming.
Would you say that I should push the CFP exam back from November to March and take an extra month on the course section to read everything or would you continue to push through and just get to the CFP review mid August and buckle down there and try to stay on time for that November exam.
Trying to gauge the importance of reading all 4,000 pages of this or if I should just survive and advance through the coursework and really focus on the actual CFP prep portion with that timeline.

I speed read through the books. I didn’t want to miss that information but at the same time it was very time consuming. I focused more attention on the practice questions in the book however. I also got through the course material as quickly as I could and really slowed down when I got to the review.
When I first got to the review I took the readiness quiz and think I got like a 41%. I had planned to sit for the July ‘20 exam but it was postponed till September (which was a blessing for me). So I think I had 3.5 months in the review phase and 10 months total from start to finish.
Hope this helps, keep the questions coming.
