The study guides are more than sufficient. Most people that I know used Stalla, which is pretty good.

Which is better, Schweser or Stalla? I've been quite happy with Schweser for Level 1, but I feel that they are not up to the task for Level 2 (the questions are now changed to be multiple choice, so there is no exam history. however, I do miss the exam flashbacks during the text, it would have been better to include mock questions to follow up on the reading as the examples are too straightforward) Does anyone know both?
