Has anybody brought the new Elan (or Wiley now) guide for the Level 2 2015 Exam? If so, what do you guys think of it ? I don’t see they mentioning the Eleventh Hour Guide with it, and so was wondering if the guide also comes with the package ?
Thanks,
For all your help, hv a good weekend.
 
Are they available to order already?
I still get the “will be available for purchase here starting in the last week of August” message on the Wiley CFA 2015 page. Which is disappointing, given that it’s Friday afternoon (in Europe) of said week.
 
From what the company says, the only that changed is the name. I used them for level 1 and hope it truly is the same. Does it tell you if Peter Olinto is still doing the videos for them?
 
Wiley is an interesting case. They are the publishers of CFA curriculum and now they have careated a prep providing arm to support CFA candidates. May by its just me, but in the context of standard professional conduct this situation sounds fishy.
 
I just bought it…It’s incomplete..They only have the electronic versions available. Alot of it is missing and we be only available December 2014. As for the practice problems they wont’ be available until Feb 2014. This year Elan had a bad reputation on giving stuff out late…but I love their videos so much. Yes Peter Olinto and the other guy are back and they do the video lectures.
On a good note. I told them I was a returning customer and they gave me a 40 percent discount.
 
Oh yah and they use the horrible Vita source bookshelf..for their electronic textbooks now which is horrible.
 
Ah h**l, they are using Vital source too ? Are the videos at least complete ?

To be clear, are you saying that Wiley/Elan has already posted one or more of the five e-books? If so how many?
Also, have they posted videos for some of the 56 readings? If so, how many?

Hmm, confusing answer.
.
Here’s what I want to know:
.
1) For how many of the 56 L2 CFAI readings has Elan posted their version of the readings as of today? Zero? 56? Some number in-between?
.
2) For how many of the 56 L2 readings has Elan posted their video as of today? Zero? 56? Some number in-between?

actually jlion1786 has already answered it.
1. All 56 readings available on vital source now.
2. Videos available as of today 56-15-6 = 35
Videos will be available as of Dec 2014 = 35 + 15 = 50
 
What do you need to do to get the 40% discount as a returning customer?
