I recognize everyone learns differently. Having said that ------ I passed Level 1 in 2009 using only Schweser. I have always been someone who can pick things up quickly so I figured no sense deviating from what worked. I sat for Level 2 in 2010 using only Schweser and the CFA mock exam.... failed band 7. More importantly, I walked out of that exam 1) knowing I failed and 2) feeling completely unprepared for the kinds of questions they ask.

This year, no Schweser... studied only CFAI text and CFA mock and passed. The material is still hard, but I felt so much more prepared.


Point being, I know a lot of people pass level 1 with Schweser. If you want my advice, don't even bother for Level 2.
