Wiley for Level III

CFA Level III
#1

It seems like Wiley are offering a study package for Level III. I used Schweser for both Levels I and II and passed on the first try, but I felt that the effectiveness of Schweser diminished in Level II.

Does anyone know how Wiley compares to Schweser in Level III? Are there any parts which are superior (e.g. mocks)?

#2

They are offering Level 3 for the first time .Back to level 2 they we much better than SCHWESER .

Thanks Paracoda. Would you choose it over Schweser, consider it is their first year and I have always passed with Schweser? Or would you just go for one or two things from Wiley e.g. mocks?

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

#5

The question to answer, of course, is whether it’s broke or not.

#6

Based on the fact pattern, is it broken?

#7

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… True. But I must admit I got lucky with my Level II pass, I barely made it through.

Than again, the fact remains that I used Schweser and passed.

Fair point. Here are some of my thoughts that I think you might find usefule in preparing to prepare for the exam: http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-level-iii-forum/91345342

Sure go with Elan , their instructors are much better than that of Schweser .Peter Olinto and the other guy are great .However my experience with Elan in level 2 was not that good when it came to the delivery schedule .So if you go with them expect some delays .

I think the best thing Elan offers is the videos .For the mocks go for the CFAI .
