Does anyone know anything about this secret sauce stuff. I have heard it is great, but what does it actually contain?? Also, does anyone know where I can get it from if it is actually worth it. Thank you,
I wouldn’t rely exclusively on the Sauce, but it’s a great tool for your final month of review. Imagine the entire CFAi ciriculum condensed into a 200 page summary of the most important topics, LOS, and formulas. That’s secret sauce. www.schweser.com
Highly recommend it for a review solution, but not as a curriculum replacement. It’s about $100 and worth every penny. Once you work your way through the curriculum you can condense the already summarized Schweser Notes into a even more condensed 200 page book. I would say this is equivalent to if you personally took notes of the most important concepts for each topic and summarized them in the smallest package possible.
I would absolutely recommend buying it, especially at this point if you are taking the June exam.
I agree with most of the above commentary. Just think of a 200 page book that will have the knowledge required to probably answer over 70% of the exam ( based on my experience, however small and poorly comprehensive as it might be). If you are after a time efficient and cost effective way to help focus, especially in the last month, then I recommend it. There are some dodgy copies of it laying around the net, but I still recommend coughing up the cash and buying a copy. Its small easy to carry and great to flick through when you have a moment (I didn’t use flash cards, but did read secret sauce).
wouldnt call it a MUST but highly encouraged because it contains all your little formulas, concepts, do’s, donts, etc. kind of like a highly expanded quicksheet. 200 pages of that plus 20 pages of general exam advice. if you already got schweser material you can get the sauce for only 70 bucks. i think its dumb not to get it.

Totally agree. I also got it for $70 because I already bought the Premium pkg from Schweser (around $87 including shipping in the US). I found Economics in Secret Sauce especially helpful. Secret Sauce covers important Econ topics I think under 40 pages. Portfolio Managerment is covered in only few pages. Great way to review on my 30 min train ride to work. Worth every penny!!
It’s delicious
I prefer my underlined and highlighted noted in the schweser books to the secret sauce. I might just go through it later to make sure I have all the topics covered.
I used the Secret Sauce in conjuction with my notes and it is extremely helpful. It breaks down the topics well and highlights the very important material. Great stuff. Definitely recommended.
