It covered a lot of stuff that I think my Schweser material missed. Very heavy on the important minutiae. Case in point - page 2 reads "How many blades of grass are in the cows mouth?" You don't get that kind of focus with StudyNotes.

Chance of passing: Conservatively, a million percent. After four months of studying and skipping the gym, I'm simply too big to fail.

I used Stalla and liked it but still feel that CFAI materials, supplemented by study notes is the golden ticket.

Stalla + CFAI EOCs + CFA mock

Chance of passing is irrelevant in my case. I rather give opinion on my view on the study materials.

I don't remember seeing anything in the exam that was unfamiliar. Stalla is way better in explaining and covering the whole material as compared to schweser. I have seen Schweser study materials as well. Although for final practice month or two - I would rely more on CFA EOCs, samples and mocks than any study provider.
