To get a feel for level 2, why not look at some sample questions/answers from the CFAI website ? There is a big departure from level 1 in terms of style and depth but my guess is most of us are overwhelmed by the quantity and not the complexity of the topics. Perhaps one of the reasons why clever and well prepared candidates fail at level 2 is because the exam asks tricky questions about simple concepts as opposed to difficult questions in a straightforward manner. Whether you use CFAI texts/Schweser/etc in combination or not really depends on your tastes...It has all been done before..some pass by using Schweser exclusively, others find the CFA texts more helpful...but there are some common things to watch out for...align your studies with LOS and do all EOC from CFA texts and do sample exams.
