2015 L3 Schweser Practice exams vs. 2016 L3 Schweser Practive exams

[Walkingonwater]

Hi all,
I failed band 10 in L3 in 2015 after exclusively using Schweser materials and a couple of CFA exams. I plan on using the CFAI materials to prepare for the 2016 exam but I’m wondering whether it is worth purchasing the 2016 schweser practice exams? Do you think they change much year to year? Also, does anybody have a particular strategy on how they plan to go through practice exams? How far back in the CFA morning exams will you go and do you plan to use any thid party materials for practice?

• 2009
• yes, but use them as a source of extra questions
