Only using third party study material?

Hi @priyaamin318‌, I have used Schweser and CFAI materials in the past. In my opinion, using only Schweser to study and then only looking at CFAI occasionally works well (it got me past level 2). CFAI material is a lot more wordy and sometimes goes into unnecessary detail. That said, if I’d had an infinite amount of time to prepare, I would have used CFAI most of the time because some concepts are better explained (in my opinion). The real power of Schweser is that the amount of text is a lot less, making it feasible to go through everything while having a full-time job. Either way, good luck!

@priyaamin318, using third material depends on how one is comfortable with and the time remaining for exam. I have preprared using Schweser for Level-1 and Level-2 since I had only 4 months for both levels. For Level-3 I did not even look at schweser except for test papers as I had ample time.

@MM12‌ schweser notes are expensive, cost me over £240 I think but when you take the time into consideration, I think I’ll rather spend that amount than trying to cover the entire CFAI and risk not finishing in time and having to resit a year later. I’m a slow reader btw.

@mm12 haha yes that’s a better word to describe, CFA well used 😛
