Tablet/Chromebook for Schweser Videos?

Hi All,    

Has anyone used a Samsung Chromebook for viewing the Schweser online videos?   I’ve heard the Schweser videos do not work on iPads or Android tablets….  I’m looking for a new laptop/tablet but I want to make sure I will be able to study effectively on the device!    Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Continue reading

What study tools will you use going forward?

Did anyone pass the ACTUAL exam scoring less than 65% 70% 75%, etc. Thanks for the feedback - sorry for the caps. well… not really. Continue reading

Multiple Failure Question

I took the Level 1 exam in June and did not pass.  I scored in band 8 and figured that I would focus on the areas in need of attention.

I tried several times I was not able to get back into studying with the same level of focus as my initial attempt.  Over the last 6 or so weeks I did manage to make it through the Kaplan-Schweser video series.  I do not anticpate passing the exam on Saturday, but since a refund was never an option I figure I’ll take it again.
