Who used the Elan Guides?

Elan guide did a great job, i hope Elan can keep doing great job and help all of us pass all levels!!!

Used it for last two months of my study out of five…good coverage of materiel…

+1 They won’t have practice questions for Level II this year. I hope they can come up with the rest of their products soon enough and do as good a job as they did for Level I smartpants Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Elan guide did a great job, i hope Elan can keep > doing great job and help all of us pass all > levels!!!

Hello dear friends. Elan gets lots of good reviews and I have seen their free trial. My question is can anyone compare them to Stalla and Kaplan. Have any of you used more than one provider? Is it wise to do that?

You can use any of Schweser Stalla and Elan to go with the official books and you’ll be alright as long as you put the hours in.

I just purchased the videos and questions… My personal feeling is the material is VERY GOOD. The videos help me a lot, I know mostly all this material from my undergrad so reading it is to time consuming and I dont want to worry about reading 3000 pages of material. The videos are great for learning how to do all the calculations but I think you will have to go over the books for more of the qualitative stuff

Just printed out the entire Econ text book from Elan. Going to check it out this week and see if/how it helps. I liked the video samples but I prefer reading and highlighting stuff rather than watching videos.

I’ll give my opinion. 1. I only read elan for the readings. I read CFA books when elan wasn’t clear on something or failed to include something I felt was important. I understood the material fine with Elan. I also had a background in finance and accounting, so I can’t say if you will as well. I was probably subconciously filling in the blanks left by Elan. I didn’t know much about fixed income, for example, and I pretty much didn’t understand at all a lot of the concepts presented (only in the most superficial way – I knew it but didn’t feel like I understood it) in Elan’s text. 2. Elan’s formula list was really helpful. I memorized that. 3. Be sure you read the erratum. They made some pretty major errors in the readings and the formula list. 4. I didn’t feel the eleventh hour guide was really helpful. I would instead just look over and skim the most relevant stuff in the readings themselves. 5. The mock exams by Elan were helpful. They weren’t exactly representative – probably harder. 6. Really quick response from customer service whenever I had questions and e-mailed them.

From the free trial on their website crush818 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > @captianamercia > i would like to see the econimics book for elan > guide and compare it with the schweser one that i > printed also and see whose is the best > we can check this on my email > cccamreload(at)hotmail(dot)com

hi it may just be me or the availability schedule, but most of my notes will not open. I am working on FRA right now and i want to follow along with elan notes but it won’t open. is this not available yet? I click on corporate finance, and it opens, but when i select another topic it will not open. Thanks!

Works fine for me… FRA Videos, practice questions, notes, everything. Try emailing them? Are you a June 2012 candidate? If so, it’ll probably be different for you.

@Spongebob if you have them try email notes for me even 2011 my email is listed above

Crush818: Stop being a cheapsh!t. If you want to use their stuff then buy it for yourself. No one in their right mind would share their Elan stuff with you because its got your name and other details watermarked on every page.

hey crush818 contact me on my mail id:- atulmittal1989@gmail.com
