I studied for AFE last year, and what worked for me was breaking the syllabus into small weekly blocks instead of trying to read everything at once. I started with insurance regulation basics, then moved to financial statement analysis, and left the harder topics like reinsurance and reserving for last when I had more confidence.

Group study helped a lot too. I joined a small study circle where we quizzed each other on definitions and case scenarios every weekend. This kept the material fresh and made long topics feel less boring.

My tip is to always revise old topics briefly before starting a new one, so nothing gets forgotten by exam day. CertBoosters has a nice breakdown of the exam path that helped me plan my weeks better, worth checking if you want a clearer structure: www.certboosters.com/sofe/path/accredited-financial-examiner
