Hi guys,
I have been contemplating the idea of taking the CFA challenge since I started in finance 4-5 years ago, and I have finally found the courage to register for Level 1 (Dec 2016). My undegrad is in economics and finance, and my work experience is in wealth management and wholesaling.
I am very excited to start studying, and I have seen a lot of good comments/feedback around Schweser as a prep-provider. They have a few different packages (Basic, Essential, Premium, Premium Plus).
Which one are you currently using, or have used (successfully) in the past?
Any help is appreciated! Cheers!
 
Essential because the qbank is very helpful. I got Essential for all 3 levels. I think I separately ordered flashcards for L1 but did not use them at all. No need for all that premium stuff.
 
Thanks Ramos4rm!
The freaking $CAD is so low! It cost me almost $CAD 1,900 to register for the program and level 1 for Dec. Thank god my employer is picking up the tab!
Did anyone have the employer cover the cost of a prep provider??

Thanks Spexs!
Did you read from the Schweser notes ONLY, or did you read from both??
 
I didn’t even open my CFAI books. 100% Schweser for L1. I am taking the same approach for L2, we will see how that goes I guess.
 
Thanks Spexs.
That’s interesting. I have heard the same from a few people, but I have that fear that the curriculum covers way more, and therefore I may be missing a few concepts by going over the Schweser material only!
