^ Agree, especially with that last point there. The exam was not tough and I cant say with confidence that Im gonna pass, but I still swear by Schweser, because I wasn't stupid enough to rely on others' opinions.

Initially I spent a couple of days reading both Schweser + CFAI booksand comparing the two in terms of understanding, content coverage, and time spent reading a chapter on each.

I think the CFAI is addressing this, with sample/mock exams and additional exams available for purchase. Other folks are just guessing - the only people who can really say there questions are CFA type are the CFA, in my opinion. I think for that experience you need to rely on CFAI, which is doing a good job (again, IMO).
