How to check for differences between CFA 2014 and Schweser 2013?

[doctortt]

I have already paid for the June exam in 2014 and have gotten the CFA ebooks; however, I do not want to purchase Schweser 2014 unless I really have to. Since I already have Schweser 2013 books, I’m wondering whethere there is any efficient way to discover the differences between CFA 2014 materials and Schweser 2013.
Thank you very much.

Without even checking, execpt for couple readings, I bet 95+% material is same.

I recently researched this as I’ve got both the 2013 and 2014 CFAI books.
1) FIXED INCOME
–completely overhauled–only Fundamentals of Credit Analysis was retained
2) DERIVATIVES
–Derivatives Markets and Instruments–revised
3ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS
–Investing in Commodities–deleted
4) ETHICS, QUANT, ECON, FRA, CORPORATE FINANCE, EQUITY, PORTFOLIO MGMT
–essentially unchanged.

this is good because the ones that are unchanged are the major ones.. thankfully I won’t need to re-read a lot of material if I have to sit again in June.
