Schweser Practice Exams differ by year? 2010, 2011

I am working with 2009 Schweser Practice Exams…do those use the same questions for 2010 and 2011 or have they changed? Thanks.

From what I’ve seen/heard, the Schweser practice exam books are updated to reflect changes in the CFAI curriculum.
However, like the CFAI curriculm, they do not appear to get rewritten from scratch each year.
The CFAI L3 curriculum has changed perhaps 15% between 2009 and 2011.
If we took the time to do the specific analysis that you’re asking for, I suspect that we would find something like an 85% overlap between the 2009 and 2011 versions of the Schweser L3 practice exam books.
