cfa level 3 pdf schweser

Author Post Topic don't use schweser! It was very thorough but kind of thrown together. Videos were fairly well presented, but did not always follow the books. Schweser online was ok, but by the end I kind of doubted whether the answers they were giving were correct or not. I went to the Stalla seminar in April and although their seminar was not great Given by Bob Stalla himself , their books and software were very very helpful. Full Disclosure: I passed pretty solidly and have not seen Schweser notes Brian chirag 2003-07-25 15:07:29 why do u say that? Greg 2003-07-29 18:59:09 I used Schweser notes and took Schweser courses, and I failed. I felt the questions on the exam were much harder than those in the schweser prep materials. The way the AMIR wrote questions, only one schweser note is never be enough. To drill inside the materials may be we have to go through the books..... Good luck all of those who are planning for the next round. Chris 2003-08-07 14:09:51 I certainly agree with drcfa. Just wondering if there would be any people that will still use Schweser when there is a good study site here for free. I've spent hours comparing notes of the two but cannot really tell any big difference. Level2Guy 2003-09-09 08:45:09 At the beginning of this year I checked out Schweser 2002 from a friend and I feel that they are too condensed. Moreovers cfacenter's notes are better written. Their online package is a complete garbage. We have enough to worry about... Let them go to hell.... There are more than enough good study notes providers.... Who cares about Schweser... Enough is enough with this.... HPzz 2003-10-02 11:57:27 I have a friend who attended Schweser's cfa course last yr. He told me that more than half of his classmates fell the exam. I passed LI with textbooks and Schweser notes along with cfacenter practice exams. The Schweser notes were useful in a limited sense, as they gave me a concise summary of what the AIMR-mandated reading was. But for the amount of money Schweser charges, you're better off combining cfacenter with the books. Kevin photoshop 2004-04-06 06:40:42 Yeah, I also think the Schwester exercise too easy. I can get full score with that! Their notes are not as complete they don't give detailed explanations and seem to be brief mainly because i think they assume you know the info, or have had some knowledge of it in the past I think their videos are great. I don't think it really matters what you have, its really the amount of time you study and the effort you put into it. If two people using schweser and cfacenter both study for 200 hours, they will have the same chance of passing. Stoyan 2004-10-03 08:31:09 I used Schweser for CFA Level I exam and passed it. Schweser can be helpful ONLY if you have solid financial and accounting background because it is only an overview and there are not many detailed explainations. Nevil1 2004-10-25 20:22:12 I passed Level I in June. I read schweser notes. I felt they were too condensed. The practice questions online were too easy. DirtyHarry 2004-11-08 23:24:47 I agree with Stoyan. Schweser doesn't explain throughly. So, anyone read it, must have previous background in finance or accounting and economic. Many people will fail. Some used Schewser, some Stalla, some analystnotes, some go through all the readings. Many failures will blame the notes. I have even heard people blame the required course materials i. I passed all three exams in a row. I also attended some courses expensive for the sake of getting some human conact - but they were pretty lame. I agree with Wassup - study hard! And if you can't do it, it wasn't meant to be. I relied on the text books and practice exams to clear Level I in Dec 2005. You can't expect to clear CFA by studying help notes Schweser or anything else. Mine is a sad story! I sat for CFA L1 twice and both times, I failed. While I am not here to criticize Schweser notes for being poor and so forth, I attribute my failure to pass the exam on both occassions to 2 major factors i. I work in an investment bank and I easily spend a minimum of 12 hours a day in the office!! On worst case scenario, I even clock the same number of hours or more on weekends. So I hardly have the time to flip through the notes, let alone grasp the concepts! I graduated with a degree in marketing management and Information systems. How in the world I ended up in an investment bank crunching numbers and evaluating credit proposals is another story all together. Razmataaz 2005-01-30 10:00:14 I passed Level I of the CFA exam in December 2004 at my first attempt... I found the notes to be helpful, even though there was a lot of room for improvement. I thought the practice exams made by Schweser were not really tough enough, the explainations of some of the answers could certainly be better. And I had to make SO MANY corrections to the notes... Schweser was posting updates and corrections to the notes till the very last day! The real exam was TOUGH. I had gone in to the exam room confidently but came out worried. Thank God I did end up passing. Bottom Line: Study hard, try to study EVERYTHING in the notes, don't get too frustrated with the coursework providers or the material, and maybe... If you start early enough and you spend aprox 10 to 15 hours per week this should be sufficient. Jen217 2005-03-26 02:51:55 Sounds like a lot of whining here. I agree with tinaa. Yeah, nothing is perfect, but don't blame the study notes for you not passing. The test was not made for everyone. All you can do is study and work hard. I blam jen217 and tinaa for all my failures. I'll try to use analystnotes for the practice exams... I hope I pass this time Pinoyquant 2005-10-11 20:24:33 Is there anyone here who is willoing to send me a pdf copy of the schwester study notes? I want to see how bad it is. I'm to sit for the June level 1 exam. I've read somebody on this thread purchased it but just left it parked to gather dust. A mendicant person here would be happy to have that garbage. I want to see how bad it is. I'm to sit for the June level 1 exam.

I read the Schweser Notes and AnalystNotes which I found of similar quality, took the questions at the end of the lessons and did the majority of the questions in the book. Schweser was very much how to calculate certain things. The real questions I thought were much less about calculations and much more about cause and effect, directional answers, etc. Just my opinion, but I will be steering clear of Schweser for my next try at L1 in June. The consensus seems to be the Analystnotes' mock questions are good. I also took the Level I in Dec and didn't make it. I used the schweser extensively. I want to take it again in une and want to do it right this time. Thanks I106402 2006-01-23 13:37:55 Hello people, I am also taking Level I in june... It seems using only one source of material is not enough... Thanks to let me know Terminator 2006-02-12 15:08:01 Hi, I am planning to sit for the December 2006 Level I CFA exam. I need guidance on what would be the best strategy in preparing for the exam in terms of study methodology, preparatory course provider, time required, etc. What about the Schweser for practising some questions for level II? Anyone has tested it? The problem may not be Schweser. The problem may be you are a moron! TLTan 2006-05-03 04:08:36 If you have the finance background, do some review with the notes. If you have no background, go get a basic degree 1st or read the CFA curiculum books. The Schweser notes are just, as what they say: notes. BertS 2006-05-04 08:45:37 Some truth in all. Schweser seems not that bad if one had an MBA in Investments and already works as an analyst. I passed L1 without doing any exercises, but had not enough time to do L2 properly. The real problem is the CFA Institute and the ridiculous way they impose the exam. Why should one have so little time for it. Sometimes understanding the questions in L2 took up most of my allocated time, leaving not much time to figure out the answers. These people teach us ethics, but they cannot be held responsible for anything, only because we, or our employers are stupid enough to take their exams. Now i am syrup sippin and switchin lanes on 24's. Is this site even worth it? Is it similar to Schweser or are the questions harder? Tweety 2006-08-19 00:37:37 I used Schweser notes plus a few unpaid exam samples from CFA institute website - I just passed level 1. Swetha 2006-08-23 06:00:58 I'm taking Level I in December. I'm wondering if preparing with Schweser and the Analyst Notes material is a good thing to do. As a result, I failed. I think the best way to study is to start with the books and then look through the notes as a supplementary material. Thanks PhiWong 2006-09-19 12:36:02 Hello, I passed level with one attempt but failed level II three times. Seems like the passing score has to be around 70%+ to get a pass grade. I used Schweser, passpro, textbook. I also work long hour. I did studied very hard and tried the Passpro mock exam. Not top score out of 6 mocks. Only one got below 50%. After I mastered certain area than I forgot. Just so much thing in the exam...! I have decided to narrow it down to either Analystnotes or the CFA's books. Would like to get some feedback from those who have used the CFA textbooks, is it helpful or does it make things complicated due to it being lengthy and detailed? June 07 Level 1 has 6 books which looks pretty time consuming to cover through all. Stop complaining about notes providers and focus on your study. Sirius 2006-12-19 05:46:16 Hi, im planning to sit the level 1 exams in June 07. Can some one please advice me on which study notes to choose between CFA's books and Schweser's? They are both pretty expensive and i dont want to spend all that money on something thats summarised and assumes I already know this or that. I registered for Level 1 last week. I am a chartered accountant working as a Corporate Financier in London. If anyone is out there who can advise which notes to buy: Schweser, BPP Stream in UK Course Provider or CFA AIMR Notes. I have already got hold of analyst notes. Thanks for the help. GreyArrow 2006-12-20 16:49:17 Sirius, Im also taking level 1 june 2007 the CFA books is a must if u wanna past CFA. Use Analystnotes for the notes and the questions and exams. By the way Im a graduate in Finance and even then Im not using Shweser. All the best Sirius 2006-12-21 01:08:51 Thanx a lot, Don. Youve put my mind at ease : DrewZ 2006-12-23 22:20:45 Anyone: Quick question, I just ordered the Schweser, books to start studying for my level 1 exam and after reading this I am a little worried about if I have enough to go off of. I'm not taking any classes they are to expensive , so this will be all self study. I have a basic knowledge of finance was my major. But where else should I be looking for materials that are good. Musinga 2007-01-03 07:05:10 I'm sitting for level 1 in June 2007 and still very much confused about which study material to rely on. I've got a solid background in corporate finance and economics. Can I just rely on analystnotes to pass level 1? Failure 2007-01-15 04:21:42 Hi, Schweser Notes basically acts as a good summary for those who have a very solid financial bankgrounds. Now I read the actual text and understand before reading study notes and that is more effective. Effort is still required and there are no shortcuts to getting this designation. I worked with AnalystNotes and Schweser. I also had the CFA books to look up certain things but I hardly ever used them. It's just too much to read. I passed L1 in Dez 2006 the exam was difficult. I had to study a lot to pass eventhough I already have a very good background in finance. I'm also working in Risk Management;- and doing ALM. The summary is: Student without solid financial background, Schweser is not enough, thus CFA text book is better. How about audio books? Have anyone try it? The firts one to study and do exercises... I currently am using Stalla and this site and find that in most cases the stalla questions are easier... I have schwser notes from 2006. Do you guys think i shouls get the new ones since parts of the curriculum has changed? You should use it as a test bank, but would suggest analystnotes. Good luck tennis09 2008-03-20 07:18:59 Schweser's questions are too easy and are nothing like the actual 3 in 1 questions you will face on exam day. It's a pitty that they suck now. They had great notes. But then as they tried to update according to the changes, seems like they no longer have the quality team making it. RichardJide 2008-04-10 11:17:29 well, am about to take my first exam this june and I have both the curriculum and schweser notes. From what am reading I think I will focus more on the curriculum and what I get from here. Wish me luck folks!!!!!!!!!! Abbey1 2008-04-30 13:11:20 Good luck! Mustaqim 2008-05-22 08:38:51 No study course is perfect one. I thought Schweser was good. Thanks ljamieson 2009-02-10 17:02:10 Don't you guys get the CFA books, all 6 with your registration? Why would you still be looking for them? Practice here on analystnotes or shell out 100s for Schweser or whatever if it makes you feel better. You've made it through uni, so you know how to do that, whatever method suites you. There's not much else to say. Dakini 2009-05-31 19:29:52 Schweser's videos are a good way to warm up. They omit a few sections but that's okay in a lecture. But remember that: the syllabus you get from the CFAI IS THE BIBLE FOR THE EXAM!!! Study whatever guides you want, or none at all, but make sure that you know most of the material that's covered in the official syllabus. If u go through the materials provided by CFA institute side by side read schweser than it is not garbage. No more today andylilybo 2010-01-23 18:03:01 Hello,my name is andy! After reading your this forum, I thought your forum is great! I am very like your forum and I am very interested in the field of this forum thread.

Acturally, I am still a student, and I am bury myself in health study. This forum is very useful for me. I just bookmarked it!

It was very thorough but kind of thrown together. There are many PDF books available for free on the internet in the form of notes. I can get full score with that. Swetha 2006-08-23 06:00:58 I'm taking Level I in December. Fub 2: You will receive an email from Kaplan Schweser with a link to access your eBook anytime. You've made it through uni, so you know how to do that, whatever method suites you. I hope I pass this time Pinoyquant 2005-10-11 20:24:33 Is there anyone here who is willoing to con me a pdf copy of the schwester study notes.
