Hey folks, tell me about your experience watching the Schweser videos as part of the study process. I’m thinking whether it’s possible to spend less time reading the books but to watch the videos.
I feel the videos should not teach you the material but rather help you review. Videos are shortened versions of Kaplan books which are shortened versions of the official texts. That’s too much cutting out for me. I’d rather spend the extra time and know that I covered everything that could possibly come up on the exam. I think the worst thing is skipping or skimming through material only to find out on exam day that you need it. Of course whether I remember it on exam day is another thing.
Videos work great for me. The method I have been using is watch a video on a topic, skim through schweser notes really quick and take as many practice questions as you can on the topic.
As long as you get most of the questions right you can rest assured you have the topic covered. I use Arif Irfanullahs videos and Schewer Q bank.
Try it out for a reading and see if it works for you. Solving as many questions as you can is a good learning in itself. All the best!
Edit: If anyone gave the exam or is currently studying with a similar aproach pls share your comments.Thanks
I switched over to 89s approach recently on Econ. I am watching Elan videos>Blue Boxes>EOCs in that order. I am only comfortable with this approach on Econ since, 1)my undergrad was in Econ 2)This is my last session in first pass 3)I really don’t want to grind thru reading that book. So, far it has been effective since I am scoring relatively high on the EOCs. Good luck.
Watching videos and then jumping straight over to the EOCs works better with Elan videos as they are very detailed.
Schweser’s videos are like half the length of Elan’s. They are more of an overview and don’t go deeply into anything.
