Hi, I just bombed the CFA Level 1 because I relied waaayyy too much on Schweser and am not looking to repeat that error. Will Uppermark be enough to pass? Also will 3 months be enough study time?
If you know the Schweser materials cold then you will have no problem passing. I haven’t used Uppermark so no idea on that one. Three months should be enough time study time if you can put in an hour or two a day.
Yes and Yes. Spent 3m only used UM.
Probably not, since Uppermark materials do not exist yet and there is only two months to the exam period. If you want to start preparing right now, another provider (or original books) are a safer bet.
Here is my two cents. The commodities part of Schweser is really badly written (both level 1 & 2). As far as L1 is concerned stick to Anson and you should be fine. Schweser does a very poor job of explaining the concepts and I had to spend extra effort unlearning what little i knew on commodities for level 2. Most other parts of Schweser were okay and Q bank really helped
