Friends which one is best ?

Schweser or BT or GARP core reading?

I think GARP core reading covers all the concepts required to clear your exam but it requires your immense time if you want to get the entire taste of it.If you have all the time in the world then you can surely go for the core readings,otherwise you can always opt for schweser.Bionic Turtle practice questions are really helpful.They almost match the level of difficulty of the actual exam.I personally had very limited time so I mainly followed Iplan Education’s video series along with Schweser.I had only about 15 days of time to prepare,so I had to put in much effort in that limited time.I also want to add that if you have the basics of derivatives,probability and statistics clear then you can go with GARP core readings,otherwise I would reccomend you to first brush up your basic knowledge in these topics prior to reading the core material.

As Viraj has rightly said, GARP Core does need lot of time to complete the reading, but it will provide you much detailed understanding of the topics. What I followed was I used the Schweser Materials and complemented it with BT. IN case of any doubts in any topics, you can just google the same and solve the concept in much shorter period that refering GARP Core materials. Also, I tip which I would like to give you is try to study from soft copies of the materials as its easier to search for topics in PDF format then in a hard copy. And now there are people like Mahakali Copy who do provide you all the materials in soft copy as well. Even I did the same and amanaged to clear the exam.

I have the GARP core readings, but I generally prepare for tests better with a lot of practice exams. GARP’s practic exams are quite limited - appartently they only have one exam that correspondes to the 2014 exam (is this correct? it is quite frustrating!).

I have looked over Kaplan and Bionic Turtle, and, given the pricing and apparent quality reviews I have seen elsewhere, Binoic Turtle seems like the obvious chioce (Bionic Turtle being $250, and Kaplan $400).

Anyone have a problem with Bionic Turtle, or see a reason to go with the more expensive Kaplan resources?

Thanks!
