I have been preparing for the CFA since Feburary, 2014. I am currenly using the Schweser notes because i was recommended to use them. My opinion, Schweser is a good start because it cuts to the chase if you have a ok background in finance. If your taking this exam my advice is to do the pratice question from the CFA book. I have to say the are a bit harder then the Schweser questions and I believe those questions are similar to the exam (FYI those question are some ball beaker).
Myself and a friend that I met on this forum are currenlty studying for the CFA exam from Mon - Fri (5PM to 9pm) Rockefeller center if anyone is interested please email me Lorenzoeg25@gmail.com
We are currently on Porfoilo management (4th book) in the Schweser notes.
