Schwesser vs Uppermark

CAIA
#1

I’m retaking CAIA level 1 in September, having practised exam questions from schwesser booklet only. I found actual exam was tougher, should I continue with schwesser material or source UB questions?

Are there any study groups in London?

#2

I’d really recommend the core text + Uppermark… definitely not Schweser. Unlike for the CFA, CAIA Schweser on its own is really quite light and the questions don’t resemble the exam in my opinion.

Thanks Viffer. Can you advise what the differences are between Schwesser and Uppermark pleaseam self funding the course hence deciding whether to commit a further $499 for the materials or continue with my core text.

How do you get additional $499? UM software is in $200s range.

Keep the Schweser books for study and just buy the test bank, and you’ll be fine.
