Is this true??? Can somebody who went there or had a friend go there confirm what happened?
I heard the instructor they had was unprepared, knew nothing and couldn’t answer any questions. People are pissed off they wasted days for nothing. They are all getting a refund bc it was so bad.
What is going on with Schweser, why can’t they do a better job on L3??? They keep deviating from the core curriculum, then hire half ass instructors to fill a vacant spot. They don’t even write a new Simulated Live Mock Exam every year so if you had it a previous year, you got an exam you still remember….sighhhh
As if they don’t have enough money to get it together… They really need to review their staff and their strategic planning. Is the goal to pass candidates or is it to make more money and fail folks for a bigger L3 candidate pool? Somebody go help them….I used to like watching their videos and bought their material.
 
What a shame.
Also sad to hear about firms who focus on margin often miss the key component of what they should be delivering. Sounds like Elan Notes last year….
 
I think Marc and S2000Magician should have a dual to see who is the true CFA master. Kind of like when when Bobby Fisher went head to head w/ Boris Spassky. Put it on pay-per-view.
 
Level 1 - Only Schweser
Level 2 - Elan’s + Curriculum
Level 3 - Mainly Curriculum + some Schweser
If there was level 4, I’d be using the curriculum only. hahaha
But I thought Elan’s study materials were great, very well written and only cost around $300 bucks.

Why would you EVER mention such a horrid idea?! Do not jynx us!
 
I heard Marc say S2000Magician is pretty brilliant. Consider some of us missed this big hype of Pacquiao Vs Mayweather, we should have some kind of L3 showdown. Point for who knows hidden footnotes, cases and pages by name and number lol
Chad should really have a section on AF where candidates can review instructors so we can weed out crappy people faster.
 
If there was a Level 4, I think there needs to be a well organized riot at CFAI headquarter in Charlottesville, Virginia. I will even volunteer to spearhead it. If CFAI had any respect for the CFA candidates the L3 pass rate would be at least 70%. People not passing bc of 3 or 5 points is just rediculous and I think cruel. They should just control the Charter minting by raising the years of relevant work experience to 6 years vs 4. Work is easy, this bookworm stuff is dreadful. You can’t even depend on Kaplan to do their job when they have the most reach to all the candidates…sad.
 
So did this actually happen with the LA class? I’ve got the class in Toronto this weekend - I’m hoping it will prove useful.

They should hire Cpk and Magacian to deal with tough questions!

Laughing my ass off over here, god what a horrible idea.
I feel sorry for the people who devoted their days to that. They can make it up, but I hope their employers let them take some extra time off.
