Wiley Level III

[blahdeblah]

Wiley’s site says material won’t be available until December. Given that this is the first year they have put out Level III material, and possible delays, is it too late to wait for the material to start studying level III?

From my level 2 experience, they start to deliver in mid-Jan & the 11 hour guide is only availavle in late Apr

What takes them so long? Why Schweser and other third party providers can have theirs come out earlier , why cannot Wiley? ??

Because Schweser is simply updating existing Level III study guides to account for minor changes in the curriculum from year to year.
Because this is the first year that Wiley is offering a Level III study guide, Basit is writing all of them from scratch. The writing, reviewing, rewriting, and so on takes a lot longer than merely updating existing materials.

Sir S2000, do you know if Peter is also doing level 3 video lecture?

I have no idea.
When we were at Stalla together, Peter did only Levels I and II. Maybe he’ll start doing Level III now. I just don’t know.
Sorry.

Oh, I missed the point that they have never published level 3 materials before. My bad. Thanks.

Making online video tutorials is a lot tougher than writing the CFA exam itself.
Trust me, i am making videos on excel/financial modelling at the moment, and it has made me crazy
Making transcripts,editing, recording and making corrections has become a nightmare

I wonder if Basit and Olinto will be teaching Level 3. They were great when I used their Level 2 package in 2014.
In the Level 2 forum, I read that they had a 3rd video class presenter this year that wasn’t so hot.

I haven’t heard anything firm yet.
Maybe I’ll get to do some. That’d be cool.
