materials should be enough, but for areas where you may be weak at e.g. accounting get the textbook as added material.Since accounting is such a big component - good to review that as an extra. I assume stats, derivatives is a a walk in the park for you since they are so basic. BTW the questions in Scheweser are misleadingly simple. You review the questions and think oh wow that was easy and walk into the exam only to be hit with much. much tougher ones. You need to be scoring 85% and above on the Schweser questions (since they are so simple)

How are the Stalla Notes compared with Scheswers?Not sure, since i never used Stella -suppose to be a bit tougher on the questions. i think.Schweser is fine as I used it at Level 1 and 2., Stopped there since I realised the CFA was quite useless in my line of work.The knowledge of course always helps.There should not be too much of a difference between years. But check the sylabbus to see what has been updated from previous years.
