Anyone taking it this time around?

Just finished reading through Schweser. Material seems easier than CFA2.

JMO, but the material doesn't seem easier or harder this time, just different. It feels like 2 different exams with essay/morning and mult choice/afternoon. I finished Shweser not too long ago and have started to review.

They have additional samples, but they are for sale.

I think between these samples, the Schweser exams, and the past exams available on the website, I have more than enough to keep me busy.

Good luck.

You may want to get the Schweser secret sauce. Unless your a quick reader.

Thanks I'll check that out.

How long did it take you all to get through Schweser?

[ETA] Just ordered Secret Sauce and MP3 Audio.

Mock exam is available in the "Now available" section to the right of the page.

Took me a while to get through Schweser. I can't quantify it though because I read a section at a time. If its any help, its quicker than the prior exams.
