Was wondering if those of you have already started studying with the CFAI books, and are about to recieve 3rd party material soon (like Schweser)… Are you going to simply ‘switch’ to Schweser where you left off on in CFAI?
What do you think is best to do?
I’m currently around Reading 20 Vol II CFAI, and expect the Schweser books next week some time. I’m planning on picking up with Schweser where I left off on CFAI, instead of starting over with Schweser book one.
Thoughts?

My primary plan was to use CFAI books solely and stop depending on scheweser notes, I read 2 and half derivatives readings, and after reconsidering the time spent vs. what I used to spend with the notes , I decided to order schweser notes !
so what I will do now is to check the CFAI text to solve EOC and blue box problems and some of the tough topics and rely mainly on schweser notes for the rest of the material.
I think I am going to do the same. I really was planning on using the CFA books, but after spending almost 3 weeks to get through quant and econ and doing EOC’s, I’m not sure the time spent reading is worth the time lost. Also, it’s hard to discern what is important vs not important in the lenghty readings.
Still on the fence as I’m sure I could prbably get throught the CFA books and leave 6 weeks or so for review, but…is it worth it?
If the CFAI would break down the readings by LOS, like Schweser does, I think it would make reading them much more painless.
^thanks Din… the streets of Manhattan have a subtle overcast quietness today, as people wait with apprehension and bated breath, scurrying about like squirrels in the corner stores, waiting for the ‘Storm’… and this song is a perfect prologue. Of course I really hope this is like last year’s storm meaning, ‘nothing happens’. I’m going to listen to ‘skyfall’ on my iphone while gazing at people on the street now.
