I am a CPA and have always worked as an accountant for Mutual/Private Equity Funds. I passed part one of the exam on my first try, but barely. I got 50-70 on everything except accounting and ethics which were 70+. As I work through the Part II material, individually the topics aren’t too bad (although even as accountant, I can’t stand pensions). But whenever I go back and do questions from previous material I covered, I just cannot remember anything. I currently use Schweser and CFAI EOCs as my primary study tools. I was wondering if anyone has every tried Schweser’s in-person workshops that they do for 3 days? I am not too far from Chicago and I am just wondering if the price tag of the course plus travel could be worth it. They also offer the workshop online and on demand. Any thoughts??
what suburb of Chicago are you from dlanuez?
90 miles north of Chicago in Milwaukee. The amtrak to chicago is nothing, only 1.5 hours, I go to CHI periodically for work as well.
dlanuez, did you end up doing the workshop? I am also wondering if the cost of the workshop itself/travel is worth it. Thanks!
