CFA (US) Level 1, December 2012 Vs. CFA (US) Level 1, June 2013?

My brother gave CFA (US) level 1 in december 2012 (but did not clear). He will be giving the level 1 exam again in June 2013. I wanted to know if there are any changes in the curriculum of cfa (us) level 1 for June 2013? Or should my brother continue to study the same study material which he used for December 2012 cfa (us) exam?? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

is the US CFA harder? i'm only doing the UK CFA....

generally, curriculum will stay the same. he'll get the new materials when he signs up to retake.

I don't feel like looking, but this is something that you can generally find online each year. I've seen charts where the LOS's were written out on the left side, and then on the right side either wrote "no change" or what the change was. For the most part it will just be some shuffling around of the same material so the CFAI and prep providers can justify their existence. Occasionally there actually will be material changes though. For example, L1 econ from 11' to 12' was a pretty big change.
