I’m not that much of a schweser fan being a Stalla fan before. video lectures are important to me so which of these have the best video as well as the study guides
 
I dont think FinQuiz has videos do they?I am a premium FinQuiz customer and I dont see it on the site. I used FQ for test bank last year and it was decent barring a few erroneous answers that didnt make sense. I hope they have fixed that. However, they also have practice item set questions which are pretty good and the sample tests too. I used all these extensively.
Cheers.
Addition: I also used Schweser Q bank but at the end, I prefer FQ as the item set questions were a good change from how Schweser was structured.
 
I used schweser for level 1, elan/finquiz for level 2, going to be using schweser/finquiz for level 3. I really think it more comes down to how much time you put into it than what provider you use. Elans videos were really good for level 2, but I wanted to do a live class for level 3 to keep me motivated and on track, hence Schweser this time around.
 
I used CFAI textbooks and very little Schweser for L1 and passed the first time I took it.
At L2 I used Schweser and failed. The second time around I studied mostly from the CFAI textbooks and used Schweser just for practice exams.
Now at L3, I’m reading the CFAI material and also FQ smart summaries and doing FQ item-set questions. Their summaries organize the reading in a logical, easy to follow manner.
Also…let’s be honest, FQ price is unbeatable. I purchased their premium package for $140 couple of weeks ago (on sale). Shweser’s costs 10 times as much. Schweser also has videos but I haven’t found them very useful.
 
I don’t trust FQ’s quality as there were loads of problems with their questions for Level II. I’m going with Schweser this time and may go for a live class too.

Yea that is definitely a problem, I experienced that a lot with level 2, but you get so much content for a reasonable price that its hard to ignore. The one plus was, I knew I knew the material well when I could spot things finquiz was doing incorrectly!
