Frm Schweser Qbankl

In order of emphasis, save the more important parts closer to the test date (Assuming you're also using schweser):1. CFAI mock tests/ Sample Tests2. Schweser Mock Exams3. CFAI End of Chapter Questions4. Schweser Q-Bank5. CFAI Blue Box Examples6. Remaining Schweser questions in the book
Is it a good investment for me to buy Qbank material for level I or should I stay with CFAI practice exams and schweser practice exams? Note that I have a previous background in accounting and I am currently looking to break into the finance industry (in which case passing the CFA level I would really help),
i recommend doing 4-5 schweser practice tests for CFA I and reading the schweser notes to learn the material; use the cfa mock and past cfa exams probably 2-3 weeks before exam date for final studying and you'll be more than fine.
For level 2 I probably did like 500+ QBank and like 8 practice exams (6 schweser, 2 CFAI. Found one from previous year) and the hardest one again (Schweser last year had a REALLY hard practice exam. i forget which one it was). Passed somewhat ok even though I felt my performance for the exam was probably closer to the bottom of my ability range.
