I've come across this discussion in quite a few forums on the internet (including 300 hours). There seem to be mixed reviews for schweser level 3 notes.
Personally I prefer Schweser, having used it effectively for Levels 1 and 2. For level 3, I used Schweser notes + videos & CFAI EOC questions, Schweser Mocks and CFAI Mocks.
Although I failed Level 3 (Band 10) this year, I'm not sure about completely changing the exam prep provider. Refining the process, instead of overhauling it, is whats required, in my opinion. Just feel that all I need is to use the study material more effectively. I fear that changing the prep provider all of a sudden, would invite more problems rather than provide me a solution.
My scores were decent in the essay section. However, I scored low on the alternative investments section (36 points worth) in the afternoon session. So my take is that the performance on the exam hinges on what topic has more weight on the exam, and how you perform on that section.
Would like to know everyone's opinion on this. Especially all those who cleared the Level 3 exams @sankrutimehta , @MattyJ , @artyeasel, @padniaki
