I am currently behind schedule in my studies (and I’m pretty sure I won’t be the only one here) and this thing is saving me SOOO much time!
if it wasn’t for the eleventh hour guide I would either have the write up my own notes or spend ages going through the Schweser books looking for the relevant method/equation/theory to answer practice questions when I get stuck or can’t figure out what the solutions mean.
For those of you who are behind schdule, or just want a summary of the whole curriculum all in one place I highly recommend this.
I had the Secret Sauce for Level 1 and this craps all over that. Elan don’t leave out any of the important stuff (you’ve got approx 90% of the equations, theories etc. all in this one book), unlike Schweser did with their Secret Sauce at Level 1.
I just thought I would come on and post this because I am sure it can help others the way it is and is going to help me
It will be very useful over this final period for recovering all the various topics without having to go into the innate detail of the readings. It gives you the key formula/concept for each topic you need, plain and simple.
Whatever you say dude. There are plenty of other folks on here who happen to think their stuff is good.
I’ll admit that their schedule has been pretty poor from what I’ve heard of their notes. I got their practice questions and some of them STILL aren’t available - would somone on their payroll really come out with that info? Not everyone who is on here and thinks a product is great is one of that PR guys for a prep provider.
I got the soft copy and printed the whole thing off in the office, so I don’t have that issue with the hardcopy not arriving yet
^After reading his posts the past 5 months, Providence has a real love/hate relationship with Elan. Not to mock his frustrations, but it’s pretty funny to read over time. It pretty much runs the full gamut from (I’m paraphrasing) “F*** Elan’s B.S. service!!” to “Oh my god this is good!” (Both of his statements have merit)
I just got my copy today, and I’ve been using the online version for a while. It’s good but lol, no, it’s not a replacement for the curriculum. I think it’s a great tool to study from exclusively after you’ve gone through all of the notes, CFAI EOC and Elan PQs.
I never said it was a replacement for the curriculum, I’m not too sure where you got that from lol… but yeah I agree with you, great for reviewing the material after you have gone through it. Summarises it all very well. FYI i’ve gone through the Schweser notes and using this after I’ve covered reading those for assisting me with the revision of that material - I’m not exclusively using the eleventh hour guide though, nor am I advocating that.
Looking at Elan’s website I am a bit confused. Is there a way to order the eleventh hour guide and insure I am receiving the guide for Level II? All can get to is a generic eleventh hour guide with no indication that it is for Level II. TIA.
I do like Elan’s materials… but i am just very, very fed up with their horrible lack of customer service (as most people are). I also really like their mock exams even though they are extremely challenging and unlike what we will probablly get on exam day

Yeah that’s what I just said. You’ve obviously got to still cover the material, this will just save you time when referring back to it so you don’t have to spend ages finding a specific page in the curriculum or Schweser notes. It’s a time saver.
