Is anyone using only the provided CFA Material for study?

CFA Level I
#1

I have up to this point only been using the provided CFA material - is anyone else doing likewise?

I tend to just study better making my own study materials, formula cards, etc. but am I really missing out by not using Schweser (which seems to be the favorite in this forum)?

Thanks and good luck with your studies,

MJ

In Level 1, you can use schweser only and save a lot of time and still pass. You are only missing out on saving time and starting the practice exams earlier and have even more time for practice questions which is essential. Whatever you do, the EOC must be done at least twice. Basically memorize them because they are very usefull

What could you be possibly be missing out by reading the actual CFAI material. That’s the source use to put the test together.

Schwesser is a summary of the CFAI materials, where a portion of the material was excluded to reduce the study time.

By reading the CFAI, you are actually maxmizing you chances of passing the test (assuming you will have time to finish reading, doing EOC, and practice tests of course)
