Passed L1 with old Schwesser books, barely.
L2 seemed like a joke with only Schwesser.
Got humbled trying the same strategy on L3.

What I noticed with a lot of colleagues who did the CFA exams is that the more knowledge/experience you have, the more shortcuts you can permit such as reading the Schweser notes. Also, passing level 1 with Schweser only is quite common but for level 2 and 3 much more difficult. So if I were you I would use Schweser only for topics you are familiar with.

your right, it only tells me about those who passed and hides the fact that ten times as much might still be on Level II forum right...

but not to be cocky...i was considered the smartest guy at my school i am a hard worker, so if it seems some people can do it, it would be reasonable that I am one of them...

best of luck to all you level III's, remmber some guys are not gona make it, dont let that be you

I passed level 2 by doing the readings from Schweser (except for the topics I found most challenging, for which I read both Schweser and CFAI) and the practice problems from both CFAI and Schweser. Ignoring the CFAI end of chapter questions would have been a mistake.
