Question for those that have taken the exam already love, important, only, already, friend

A friend of mine who took the exam stated that its very important to read the CFA books, as opposed to just doing Stall or Schweser. He claims they love put questions on the exam that are not covered by the study courses and are only in their books. Any opinions or truth to this?

I would also say schweser is the way to go, just make sure you know the material well

I have a friend who wrote Level 1 & 2 and passed using only Schweser. I’m writing L1 in Dec & only using Schweser.

ive not yet taken the exam so apologies for not being an expert on this, but the structure of the study guides contain responses to ALL of the LOSs listed on the CFA Level 1 curriculum (at least for schweser).
there may be the odd term that is on the exam which is not covered by the schweser but in general they ask questions based upon the LOSs and your understanding/comprehension of those LOSs.
that’s my two cents worth anyway. someone who has sat it might have a different opinion.

Just use Schweser. And run a search function.
