Hi all,
I just passed Level II (second attempt) with 70%+ in every section. I’ve been using Wiley and really enjoyed the course (particularly recorded videos). Wiley was much more helpful in actual understanding of the material, vs ease of memorization.
So my question if to all Level III takers who experienced both Schweser and Wiley, which one should I go with for Level III?
I understand that it would be your personal impressions, so please try to provide as much of explanation to it as possible.
Thank you.
 
maybe it’s best you ask them after their results come out… do you really want to take their suggestions on which provider to follow before they find out if they pass or fail? until then, please read some, if not all, of the following:

EDIT: Oh, congratulations, Jackass
 
I pointed out my scores to highlight the quality of Wiley materials (in my case at least) for Level 2. Unlike Scheser I thought that Wiley provided a good dive in in all the sections of the curriculum. Apologize if it sounded as bragging. I was personally very surprised of the result.
 
Just stick to the CFAI curriculum.
L3 material quantity isn’t as much as L2 materials. I was cleaning a few week back and had stacked the hard copies of the L2 books against the L3 books and L2 was noticeably higher.
 
Congrats on the pass.
This was Wiley’s first year for Level 3, and I know their material was quite delayed (IIRC, some of it still wasn’t out in March!). I would avoid until they can get a few years under their belt.
I personally bought a set of extra practice questions from them and found them to be pretty sloppy. Good material coverage overall, but too much redundancy and blatant mistakes without any errata.
