Hi,
Can anyone advice me for studying Eco which is better  Schw or CFA books ??
thx

The CFA books are excerpts from an undergrad text, so it has a lot more examples and such. It’s actually a pretty easy read! But if I’m pressed for time I would go only for the Schweser notes (I’m an Eco minor) and consult the CFA text for clarification of important/difficult concepts.
Concepts are much more important than calculations in the real exam so, it might pay off. Do the questions on both though!

I read CFAI first also and now I am going through Schweser. I think if you have undergrad knowledge of economics, Schweser is fine to grasp the concepts. sbmarti2 is correct by saying it is much shorter though….
Just keep doing questions and you’ll know how your set.

I’ve read through both, and I found that Schweser is probably clearer (although I did read CFA first), however my concern is that the schweser notes may omit too much, as the chapters aren’t very long. I would read schweser, but would go through the text book and just look for things that you may not have seen in schweser.
