Could some kind soul please PM me any link(s) that'd allow me to download the L2 Schweser Pro Q-bank (2010 - not the 2009 one, as it has expired!)

PS: Came back to the forums after over a year.
So please excuse me if this has been answered before or is illegal to post

I m planning to my LLB for 3 years now from faculty of law,delhi university....but my ultimate aim is an MBA frm the IVY League.....should I go for CFA??? i know I can do it....but is it worth it....m i thinking too much.....???
You need to do CFA if you have interest in Finance especially investment banking. Doing CFA just to have additional qualificaitons is waste of your time. Do it only if you have interest in it and want to pursue your career in IB

What is the pattern for the exam, type of questions(MCQ?) and what basics are prerequisite to study Level 2 material? What areas of study should I focus most on?

I cleared my Level 1 with not too many problems and studying for just a limited time but obviously I expect Level 2 to be much tougher. Are Schewser notes enough? (They seemed good enough for clearing level 1, if not for understanding the concepts clearly)

In the end, is giving practice papers and doing a question bank is enough? What books/resources do you suggest.

Thanks.
If you have cleared L1, then you should not have a problem in getting through the L2, just put in maybe 25% more effort and you will clear. Focus on all the topics

Dude, I don't have the link to the 2010 QBank.. In case you want to continue using your 2009 QBank, try changing the date in your PC to some date in January 2009... That should work fine...

Thanks Nooruddin,

That's what I'm currently doing. Just in case someone gets a link where the 2010 L2 Q bank is uploaded please PM me!

Cheers,
Vivek
