has anyone ever used the sharp seminar? are they worth while? any feedback would be great
I did Sharp for Level 1 and 2 and passed. I thought they prepared me very well. However, I failed Level 3 in 2008 because of less than solid marks on the short answer morning session (I still had high marks in the afternoon multiple choice). I think the Sharp study notes had a lot of extraneous material that wasted my precious time and the tests were too easy. I am going 100% Schweser for the 2009 test. But more importantly I am going to carefully work through problems in the CFAI texts and make sure I nail short answer problems from old CFAI tests. I need to think the way CFAI thinks and I am not there yet. I don’t blame Sharp but I don’t feel they prepared me well enough for Level 3. They did prepare me very well for the multiple choice tests.
thanks…
Virginia, Do you still have Sharp notes from last year-and exams ? I world be interested in buying them off your hands if you’re selling. I took Schwesers for 2007 and 8 and did very poorly. THanks
