Who cares about Ethics anyway? Most of it is common sense... The rest of the LOS' are explained adequately enough by Schweser, at least for L1. I only opened book 1 of the CFAI text and didn't even bother taking out the rest of the books from the shipping box.

@CFAL1ed:

A guy I work with went CFAI materials only and did exceptionally well on L1 and L2. I think that required more time than your approach. He also had a very firm quantitative background.

I began studying for L1 on Nov 18 and did a couple thousand questions on Qbank/practice tests the two 1/2 weeks prior to the exam. I think it depends on the level of depth you want and how much time you want to put into it. It would be a nice luxury to read the CFAI materials but that's just way too much time for me.

The CFAI materials suffer from a lack of economy of words. Many of us learn more when we interact and have to mentally manipulate the concept or when we have to wire the new problem solving algorithms into our circuitry, and Qbank along with doing practice exam problems allows this in the most efficient manner.

I put it like this:

The objective is to maximize the number of correct answers on a timed test. You do this by improving your ability to answer test questions correctly and quickly.

Sounds obvious but I wonder how many actually design their method of preparation with regard to that simple fact.

PEACE!!

FYI... 'breadth of the market' was definitely one of the answers.

For L1 - SCHWESER IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

WOO! I know I got one right!

L1 is tough because of the breadth of material and how deep some of the questions drill into said material.

I was telling a friend yesterday that individually, I could rock all of the sections no problem, however, to do it all at once is a much different task.

Ok enough with this, whoever you are it's been established by nearly everyone here that Schweser isn't enough. I did every single q-bank, and the second half of that test was from a different planet. Consensus is that if you read CFAI you would have been fine. SCHWESER IS NOT ENOUGH.
