Reusing old books for L2? planning, studying

SkipE99

I have my old books for my L2 from last year and am planning on using them right now. I am going to sign up, but later in the year. Do you think I will have an issue studying from just these books again?

Thanks.

Not really, I did that last year and passed. But remember that 2009 and 2010 versions were very identical, check to see if thats the case with 2010 and 2011.

Appreciate the response. I have looked into it and do not see a huge difference, but was wondering if anyone here had the same issue. Thanks again.

Were the EOC also the same?

Hi guys,

Why do you refrain from ordering new books? it only costs additional 50$. Is that because you have enough paper at home, or am I missing something here?

1) Hard to believe the version would have changed much from 10-11, so why spend if the value added is so little?
2) official text is probably not the main meat of study; I didn't even look at my official text last time around. I failed, but then, so did most people. For level one I never opened a page of official CFAI books.
3) environmental
4) e book is probably fine for me since my monitor is quite large and easy on the eyes.

I did some quick skimming of 10 vs 11 book differences today. I saw none in the first book (other than the updated SOPH). Pages and EOC questions were exactly the same.
