      Thank you. I used Schweser study guides this most recent time and I agree I need to change things up a bit. I was considering the Schweser Windsor week also. I have not heard of Schweser’s condensed books. Are these the same as the study guides? I was thinking of using Fitch for a different perspective.

        After today, I have failed level 3 three times. Two of those times, including thr most recent exam,  I used Schweser. What I have learned is that for Level III, the Schweser essay questions and practice exams (for the essay portion) were not as helpful as they were for the multiple choice questions.  I felt they missed on preparing me for the essay portion. What I found most useful and wish I would have practiced more with were the past CFAI morning session exams. These were the real thing so when I took the actual exam, I was familiar with the layout and question format. While I didnt pass, this time around I will spend more time with the CFAI exams and I will incorporate some of Justin’s suggestions above such as the 2day prep course of Schweser’s Windsor week.
