Ben Jones is a moron. I can’t believe he even had all those creditentials. I guess it is possible to be just “book smart”

I was at her class in NY for level 1. I did not like her a bit either. There was nothing she told i could not learn myself from the books except for her own personal experiences.
They are horrible!!! Stallar/Becker is good at CPA, but SUCKs at CFA. they emphasis A WAYYYYYYYYY too much on something is “secondary important” topic. They will totally mess up your study Strategy. they are not focus on the “big picture” like Schweser. I used Stallar/Becker for CPA. and used Stallar for CFA L2. Trust me, they sucks! Schweser is the way to go.
How good is the schweser video series for level 3?
Schweser was good - not as good as Andy Holmes, but once you got used to Bruce Kuhlman’s style, it was pretty good. Plus, he gets distracted sometimes and draws smiley faces in his zeros while he’s talking… funny.

I do agree Ben is pretty horrible at teaching compared to Peter and David, but I wouldn’t call him a moron like how I called dualbond. Peter is very engaging, and David, while not as enthusiastic as Peter, is also very good at teaching effectively. Both Stalla and Schweser have pros and cons, but neither will help you pass if you don’t spend enough time, or are simply stupid. I always laugh at those who blame the study materials after failing.
It shouldn’t be that funny
Not trying to be obvious. But you still have to go through CFAI books if you want to increase your chance as passing this thing. As I look back to the questions asked in the exam, I can honestly say that if I didn’t read the CFAI books I would be even more at lost. IMHO… vik2000 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > JP_RL_CFA Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Ben Jones is a moron.
