Jahid,
I think, Schweser notes are good for Level 3 (not as a stand-alone source), but you should definitely go through CFA Curriculum, reading examples and doing practice tasks.
As you can find in other threads, Schweser is good when you don’t have enough time for proper preparation; however, using only Schweser notes is probably not enough to pass (for the majority, I guess).

I can vouch for Sch notes. There are many out there, but on average, i think you’ll find most people ues Sch notes.
I did fail on first try - though i think that was my fault. Basically did not pratice/didn’t have time for essay questions at all .. and that was the my downfall.
2nd time around - read Sch notes 3 times (each successfive time, it was quicker read through). Dis Sch end of chapter questions - these are fairly easy - so these basically helps you to understand the materials (don’t expect these easy stuff in the exam). Did some (but not all) EOC question from CFAI books. And then did 3 past Essay exams and 2-3 multiple choice mocks. that was enough to do resonalby well & pass, 2nd time around.
I think Sch will cover sa 90% of the materails - the remaining 10% you’ll learn by doing past exams, CFA EOC questions etc.

and to make another point - i know many likes to read the original CFA books - the “purist” if you will. But for many how has full time job, and doesn’t have as much time, Sch notes are way to go. Much smaller/compact materails, but they captures 90%-95% of what you need to learn.
Except for Ethichs, Asset Manger Codes - which i suggest you read for CFA books.
