Wiley vs Schweser

[turbo989]

Yeah this topic comes up every year in Level 1 and 2, but with Level 3 being new for Wiley as of the 2016 Exam I think it is worth posting.
I used Schweser for Level 1 and Wiley for Level 2. I thought Wiley did a better job, but that is because Peter and Basit videos were awesome (which follow the books verbatim), and the 11th Hour Guide was incredible. I talked to a Wiley agent and they said at this time there will be no Platinum package for Level 3. That means no 11th hour guide I believe. Plus I know that since the Level 3 videos are brand new there will be no Olinto videos. I was not a fan of the other two guys who did the videos. I almost would say they were bad.
I am heavily leaning towards Schweser for Level 3, because their level 1 stuff was solid and they have some excellent instructors. Anyone else in the same boat as me? Has anyone heard anything to the contrary regarding the Wiley packages. For anyone who did Wiley this year, who did the videos?

Does anyone know if you can get a discount if you used Wiley for level I and II? I remember I got a discount before when I told them I used their material for level I.

Used Schweser for Level 2 and just ordered Level 3 Schweser materials. No point changing something thats working.

Schweser study guides are ok, but you shouldn’t rely on the Schweser mock exams, these are way off.

I used Schweser Notes and QBank for Levels I, II, and III. I used Wiley Videos for Levels II and III. I thought that the Schweser Mock Exams were very similar to the CFAI Past Mock Exams. I really liked having the two different perspectives as it allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the material.
