i read somewhere that schweser is enough to clear level 1..but we need a thorough reading of insititute books for level 2..i cleared level 1 by using only schweser (except for ethics)..how far is this news about level 2?what are your prep plans?
I have been going through a lot of L2 threads in AnalystForum and have PMed a few in PG who wrote L2 this June and have observed these
Schweser though not as good as they were for L-1 is still enough in L-2 for one to clear. Many have cleared using only Schweser. But you wouldnt be completely confident coming out of the exam. So if you have the time go for CFA texts. Else go through Schweser+ EOC questions in CFA texts (apart from ethics and a few topics which you dont understand in Schweser)
Else you can go for a mix of Schweser+CFA Schweser- Quant, Economics, PM, AI CFA-Ethics, Derivatives, Equity, FRA Fixed Income , CF(except the theory part) can be done from either depending on the time you have

HI That was really a wonderful explanation and a detailed one.. lets keep posting here all queries and doubts and explanations regaring preparation and strategies etc..
Hi roger have u started ur preparation and what subject have u started ?
then i have a query, will we be getting any certificate from cfa institute for our level I exam now ?
Hi all, Congrats every one for clearing level 1. I have a small query now. If any one has started preparing or atleast seen the objectives for level 2 dey can guide me. Do we need to keep schweser level 1 books with us for reference during level 2 or the shweser level 2 books only are complete and thorough. Svswift, Good to see that you have cleared level 1. cheers.. 😃 😃

I haven't started any preparations but as far as i know u dont require schweser level I books for preparations . Level II books are enough.
Just wana know whether the Schweser level 2 books for the June 2012 exam are available now. If yes, from where I can buy them...they are not available at Laxmi Xerox at present

Normally the June material is available after October. In the mean time download the 2011 material for level 2 on net (google it - you will get a no. of links for these materials) and download the current version and start preparation (there will be at the most 20-25% changes in the content ). If you want to know what changes are there between 2011 june and 2012 june download the curriculum changes available at http://www.finquiz.com/cfa_level_2_curriculum_changes_2011_2012 and for the time being do only the parts remaining unchanged in the current version. Also remember, since the level 2 is application oriented it will pay if you just revise the main points of relevant contents of level 1 - it saves lot of time later. Best of luck
I have somehow never felt comfortable with Schweser... I studied from original CFA Curriculum & managed to clear even though I had registered only 2 months before exam... I guess I will stick to same policy for L2 as well.. Only part I felt useful with Schweser was practice CD..
saw level 2 books... Boss its awesomeeeeeeeeee. equity is all about valuation... Quant also on valuation... FRA veryyyyy detailed... Boss is baar padhne me maza aane wala hai.... Gear up guysssssss...
Yes sir... I too felt that way... Basically feel L2 & L3 are all about depth whereas L1 is about breadth...

Hello,
Regarding ur query... we dont get any certificate for clearing L1 or L2.. we ll get certificate only after we earn charter....
The Laxmi guy says he'll get them in November. Schweser hasn't come out with their material yet. It's up for Preorder on their website as of now.
The June material will be available only around or after (at Laxmi or others) 15th November. Till then , if enrolled, download the CFAI curriculum E-books and (if you are not preparing for any other exam like FRM) start going through the Ethics part in particular as this in any case best done from the CFAI book than the Schewser. Revision may be done from Schewser. Under this pretext by mid November you would have also covered the part which most candidates find rather bland (or is it 'boring').
