19831985

I began my 2nd attempt preparation at around Nov. last year. But the delay was mainly due to the news of Lehman's collapse and Schweser's delay of the L2 notes. If I am to repeat my 2nd attempt, I would use the 2008 SchweserNotes and start in August.

The tricky business is that you can't really tell what exactly CFAI has changed in their curriculum. The LOS could be the same but the answers could be different. e.g. auction house as price vs order driven market. So to be safe, treat everything as new.
