Wasteoftime

I would actually say Schweser is in-line with the actual CFA exams.

The one huge difference is the amount of "verbage" in the Schweser exams. For level I, I could barely complete an exam in under 3 hours. When I took the actual CFA level I exam I finished the AM with 50 minutes to spare. CFA is much more direct and to the point. All of Schweser's exams (I through III) are very heavy on the wording.

CFA will have some ridiculously hard questions on the exam and questions which you could have sworn were never covered in Schweser. But that's just the nature of the beast.
