Need a help with choosing a package with Schwezer study material. They have this package for 479$. I do self study and hence rely heavily on available videos. For level 1 there were plenty available on youtube and I liked Fintree once a lot. Unfortunately, they do not have videos for level 2.
Two questions"
Schweser videos available in this package of 479 - are they recorded and available any time like any other videos we access on you tube or do we have to attend classes as per given scheduele
i did all my studying (CAIA and FRM) with Kaplan/Schweser and can say the following. The video package was worth it in 3 out of 4 times. The only wasteful was CAIA level 2 - Greg, the instructor there, just seemed to spend time reading the books to us and bored the hell out of me.
Everyone else, including David, who does FRM part 2 was brilliant. In fact, he was my favorite instructor - super detail oriented, was there during the breaks to answer any questions/run over stuff again, very responsive on instructor link as well. And I believe he also mind coaches you, so to speak. His advice on how to approach the exam came very handy on the day.
I passed all exams on first attempts with fairly high results. For FRM part 2 i got 1-1-1-3-2 and that was the exam i spent the least time preparing for (due to moving counties and my second child’s birth 3 month before the exam). I would estimate my time investment to have been around 120 h, including the time I spent on lectures. You don’t have to attend them live, they all get recorded, although I would still try to make it to the live stream, as you can ask questions straight away and get them answered. Good luck!
