Wiley’s site says material won’t be available until December. Given that this is the first year they have put out Level III material, and possible delays, is it too late to wait for the material to start studying level III?
From my level 2 experience, they start to deliver in mid-Jan & the 11 hour guide is only availavle in late Apr
Link? I emailed them and was told they would come out June 2016, so straight outta luck.
What takes them so long? Why Schweser and other third party providers can have theirs come out earlier , why cannot Wiley? ??
Because Schweser is simply updating existing Level III study guides to account for minor changes in the curriculum from year to year.
Because this is the first year that Wiley is offering a Level III study guide, Basit is writing all of them from scratch. The writing, reviewing, rewriting, and so on takes a lot longer than merely updating existing materials.
Sir S2000, do you know if Peter is also doing level 3 video lecture?
I have no idea.
When we were at Stalla together, Peter did only Levels I and II. Maybe he’ll start doing Level III now. I just don’t know.
Sorry.
Oh, I missed the point that they have never published level 3 materials before. My bad. Thanks.
Oh nice.
Just went to their website and they’ve got a 15% discount if you register interest:

Come on Basit write faster!
Making online video tutorials is a lot tougher than writing the CFA exam itself.
Trust me, i am making videos on excel/financial modelling at the moment, and it has made me crazy
Making transcripts,editing, recording and making corrections has become a nightmare
I wonder if Basit and Olinto will be teaching Level 3. They were great when I used their Level 2 package in 2014.
In the Level 2 forum, I read that they had a 3rd video class presenter this year that wasn’t so hot.
I haven’t heard anything firm yet.
Maybe I’ll get to do some. That’d be cool.
Absolutely it will be great!
March is coming and nothing from wiley …
vicky_cool400 what are you up to now that you have passed the exam!? Did you get a new job?
If anyone is waiting to start, they better get started Nyssa is having a sale which I think includes a video option if helpful. http://www.nyssa.org/CFACandidates/LevelIII.aspx But to each their own. At any rate, start something.
Wiley is out but is it good? I don’t think we even have the time to judge, there are only a couple of months left. 
Can someone tell me what they thought of Wiley for level 3 please? I used them for level 2 and loved them compared with Schweser. I like the way they give more info, they go into more details. What about level 3 please?
Overall, I liked the material but before you go with Wiley/Elan, know the following things:
- In my opinion, I don’t think Wiley should be used as a primary study tool for L3. It’s its second year and I don’t think it’s quite there yet.
- The materials arrive late, like really late. If you work full time and have to start studying early in order to make your 300, 400, or however many hours you need, don’t go Wiley. They may have this fixed this year and deliver early, but they have a history of delivery delays, so…
That said, I feel Wiley does a better job at breaking down the material. The videos and explanations are not only better, but they give you second-level understanding which helps you put the questions into perspective.
This helps on the exam because in many cases it’s that second-level understanding that helps you reject a wrong answer or to expound on why something is wrong. Remember, on L3 AM it is not enough to know *that* something is wrong, you need to explain *why* it is wrong. Sounds innocent, but it’s harder than it looks.
Poking around and seeing some people ask questions about answers to exam questions (side note: don’t participate in these discussions, because that’s a C&S violation) and I felt Elan’s “second-level” understanding made these questions quite easy.
How I used Wiley is I purchased it after I read the CFAI materials and did the EOC and Blue Boxes. I feel the combination of the unfiltered material and Wiley’s abridged version prepared me well. Ask me how successful it was in a little over a week
