If you are serious about obtaining the designation, the best piece of advice I can give you is to give the material the respect it deserves. Go through every single piece of material, do every single practice question, do every single practice exam, and then buy more materials to supplement (and do every single practice question in those).
I made the mistake of thinking simply graduating with a finance degree would gift me a pass on the level 1 exam (I can assure you this was not the case). Not only is the material very challenging, the pass rates are extremely low on the first two levels. You need to know your stuff inside and out, as the time constraints of the exam doesn't allow much leeway.
