Schweser notes

[Bronson Charley]

Hi All,
Are Schweser Notes + Curriculum questions sufficient to pass Level 1?
How usefull is the Question Bank from Shweser in addition to that?
Newest June 2013 Schweser Notes are the same for Dec/2013 and they are actually 2012 production?
Thanks

I think that is dependent on your background. My background is finance, nothing hard core, just a solid education and some real world experience. I used Schweser exclusively for Level I and passed. Out of the 3 levels I felt Schweser covered Level I the best…Level II was, eh, okay…it wasn’t terribly helpful for Level III.

I agree. I started studying for Level 1 wondering the same question, and this seems to be the general assumption. Browse through the notes and see what your level of understanding is. If you feel good about the material, just use Schweser.
