Good morning,
Just had a question for people who had to re-take levels…
I will be re-taking level 2 in June 2014.
Is there a significant difference in the book materials?

Well for the CFAI books, I have the paperback from last year..but this year, I’ll be just purchasing the eBook.
I was wondering if I could just use the paperback…
and for schweser, I’d want to avoid getting the new notes if there are hardly any changes….so..

Material revisions to the curriculum are rare, but they do happen, so there’s no way to know for sure until the new books come out.  Are you hoping to not have to buy new books, or hoping to get a headstart?  If you’re hoping to avoid buying the books again, I believe they’re included in the price anyway.  If you’re hoping to get a headstart, it’s way to early for that.
