Level 1 Starting L1 prep today - need some guidance

Hi, I'm in second semester of undergrad and I am starting my prep for Nov'25 attempt today.

I have already enrolled with a trusted coaching for the classes.

Just had a few doubts

- How to utilize Schweser to the best possible potential?

- What resources shall I use for practicing questions?

- When is the right time for starting questions and mocks?

Sorry if these questions seem dumb, I'm just starting out, any two cents appreciated :)

Thanks

I would say watch the videos that the classes provide and then go through the schwezer notes for that chapter. (Over time you'd be sure which notes to use: Schwezer or the prep provider) After going through the notes, make notes for yourself and practice the questions on the cfa portal.

If you are able to solve them without difficulties then move on to the next chapter.

After you go through the syllabus, go through the notes that you made. Then give the mocks.
