Re-use Schweser Books? employment, cover, failed, someone, company

stockjaguar

Sad to say but failed Level 2. Band 9. Now I'm just wondering if someone can help me out.

For those who failed lvl 2 did you guys re-use schweser / stalla books or repurchase them. Unfortunately my company doesn't cover tution fees under 2 yrs of employment.


Thanks

I used 2009 Schweser. Passed this time from second attempt. Also used iPhone app - Allen CFA - was quite useful to me cause did a lot of questions on the way to/from office. Though mostly quantative and some simple calcualtions only, but still.
Most likely will buy that iphone/ipad app this year.

forget schweser and use the CFAI texts and do the EOC questions over and over and over

I am thinking the same... ending in band 10 and seeing some topics for the first time on exam does not give a lot of trust to Schweser.. I used also Schweser videos, which might be a mistake because it did not go deep into details with balance sheet examples

EOS from CFAI will be definitely way to go for me next time

wouldn't trust re-used schweser for FSA or AI : too many chnages year to year

But Ethics, Quant, Corp Fin, Der, Equity, PM, FI, Econ barley changed form last year.
