Differences between 2017 and 2018 Schweser

Goodafternoon everyone!

I’m planning on purchasing the Schweser notes from 2017 on Amazon but I will take the CFA level I exam in june 2018.

Does someone know if there are differences (even minors) between Schweser notes 2017 from last year and this year ?

(by Schweser notes from 2017, I mean the ones from last year)

Thank you!

Julien

Maybe the better question is, what were the changes in the CFA exam compared to the previous year? I would guess you can probably use the one from previous year but do your own due diligence by referring to CFA Institute website and searching for changes.

Better yet, someone who has already looked into it can give some feedback.

I know reading 38 and 59 from 2017 were dropped for 2018.

For level 1 in particular I wouldn’t be too worried about using a prior years version. There are so many questions, if you miss a couple cause of lack of coverage you’ll still be fine. I used a year old version to study when I wrote level 1 and passed no issue.
