Hi all
I’m waiting for the official books but it should take some time (Christmas, new year …)
I’m thinking to start with the schweser notes and then go back to the curriculum
what do you think ?

Don’t bother with CFAI books at all. They are too verbose. Stick with Stalla or Schweser books and do a lot of questions (Qbank, mock exams, etc).
CFAI bundling of exam+books is annoying money making scheme.

You can get away with Schweser for the reading material, but do the problems out of the CFAI texts.

ETHICS from CFA is a MUST!!!

Well, certainly Schweser only is enough to pass, but the CFA books are pretty good I think and well worth the read if you have the time, which you do.
I used Schweser for supplement and review and my take is that Schweser very concisely shows the facts and tells you the way things are while the CFA texts teaches you why things are the way they are.

i would recommend sticking with the notes only, except for the ethics part. so before the books come, you can cdertainly start studying from quant part.
