old books

Hey everyone I am a broke grad school student, so the books I am using are the Schweser 2009 which I got for free. Has the material significantly changed since 2009, I used old books for level 1 and that went fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, I would get new books. If you can't afford it, then use the old ones, but study a lot out of the CFA books too. I don't think the material has significantly changed, but I know there are definitely some changes. G luck!

I do not work, I am in grad school. I could not figure out a user name so I looked at a picture on my wall of the NYSE so I figured that would be a good user name. I am shocked it was available.

better get the new one. unless you mainly use CFAI books. a lot about taxes has been removed to level 3 and got replaced by new chapters about private equity. maybe you should take a look at thecreativewonder dot com

Slightly contrarian perhaps, but... I have copies of the 2009 books from a friend before deciding to study this year. Not -that- much has changed. In other words - if you really know the material from the 2009 books, I suspect you'd pass almost any year you took the test.

If you have the 2011 CFAI books to double check the parts that might be new, I don't see why you couldnt be just fine with the older Schweser books.

I personally preferred how it was 10 years ago - yes, they made you buy a bunch of text books, but at least I can (and still do) use the text books. Can't imagine anyone a few years from now after passing the CFA sitting at their desk and pulling one of the CFAI books off the shelves...
