It would be better if you can talk with friends who have passed CFA L2 and who know you well. They can advise you which parts to study from CFAI and which from Scheweser.

Your CFA level 1 marks can also act as a guidance. The areas where you scored less than 70 you can refer from CFAI and the areas you score more than 70 you can refer to scheweser.

Consider CFA Level 2 as a war and CFAI Books as powerful but heavy artillery and scheweser as less powerful but light artillery. You can either build your stamina and carry the heavy artillery or you can use your existing stamina and carry a mix of heavy and light artillery. There is an optimisation problem.What most people do is they either try to carry heavy artillery(CFAI) and fail or they carry all the light artillery(Scheweser) and fail to use the artillery properly.

Basically there are no shortcuts here, if you want to pass you will have to study more than 65% of CFA L1 pass people. Don't gets scared and hit the books and keep both schweser and CFA together. Use both as required.
