I just passed L1, was Band 11 so to speak. I am reading a lot of good recommendations here. Since January, got introduced to Schweser Notes, which is not something I was familiar with (used just CFAI text and Schwesser QBank for L1). Do you all think Notes are a good proxy for reading the books, so I can skip the latter unless there are problem areas? I feel this would be more efficient and allow for more QBANK/LOS work, which I barely got to do enough first time.
(And as an aside, am I setting myself to fail by trying in June?)
Finally, OT, but I have heard great things for Elan Guides, especially their mocks. Anyone recommends?
