Hello - I am taking the Level 1 exam in June 2015 and have a general question regarding which study resource should dominate the bulk of my attention, if either.
I have been self-studying for two months now and have developed a habit of studying the Schweser material first for a topic, then reverting back to the CFA study guide bc I think I'm missing important details. In essence, double-studying each section.
From my perspective, the Schweser material cuts through detailed mathematical formulas and allows one to quickly solve problems; however, the CFA guides do a better job of explaining purpose (somewhat tediously) and giving applicable, real world examples. I also currently default to the CFA materials for text-heavy sections and skip Schweser.
Has anyone only studied Scheweser and found there were problems/concepts on the test that were not introduced? Other thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
