should I buy them at $395? |
| cfatobe @2005-07-19 12:11:14 |
They are not notes, my friend. CFA Institute just collates all of the required chapters together. No change at all. From a cost perspective, it appears to be cheaper than paying $700 for all required textbooks for level 1. However, you will NOT save much money over the 3 levels since most of the textbooks are reusable over 3 levels. It just spreads the costs over 3 years more evenly. |
| Logic @2005-07-19 16:55:36 |
Suppose CFA Institute wants you to read only one chapter in a book. Previously, you had to buy the entire book. Now they're going to sell you just that one chapter. You'll still be reading the exact same material, word for word, as if you bought the whole book. They're changing the packaging, not the contents. And as cfatobe says, it may actually cost more money over the course of the program. |
| KSTHANE @2005-07-19 20:29:15 |
The only way it would be cheaper to get the package that CFA Institute is selling is if several of the publishers come out with new editions over the time you're taking the three exams. If you have to buy two versions of each of these books over a two year period then it might just be cheaper to go with what CFA Institute is selling. The fact that it's packaged together would make it a lot easier to carry around. |
| Peridot @2005-07-20 05:43:11 |
Per your messages above, it still seems a good idea to buy the original textbooks instead of their new copied volumes. Would this be advised and does the textbooks get revised often such that they will become out of date by the time I do Level II and III. |
| Tomoko @2005-07-20 11:56:24 |
I think buying separate textbooks is definitely a better option: 1. Most CFA candidates already have some kinds of background in one or several fields and they generally don't need the whole set of books. For me (an accounting major) it's obviously I don't need the required accounting textbooks. In fact I will only buy ethics, statistics and fixed income textbooks as I just need to read notes on equity, portfolio management, derivatives and economics to save me some time. By bundling all textbooks together CFA Institute is just trying to make more money from candidates who generally don't need all of them. 2. Yes they do revise textbooks every 3 or 4 years, and I heard it's like 5-10% of the content. I can live with the old version provided there are not too much changes. 3. Which has a bigger resale value, the bundled readings vs textbooks? Which has a better reference value other than preparing for the cfa exam? |
| Tomoko @2005-07-20 17:39:29 |
Yes they revise textbooks every 3-4 years, but remember they also revise the bundled readings more often: once a year! Say if you failed this year and want to prepare for the next year's exam, you would have to buy a new set for $395. Had you used textbooks, you might need to buy one or two books. Another case is that your friend gave you some books or you bought several old books, would you still want the bundled set? CFAI has become more greedy than ever by introducing this new bundle thing. |
| mad01 @2005-08-01 03:30:17 |
it seems to me that CFA Institute wants to provide the candidate the original materials in bundle in stead of notes (which has some mistakes too) provided by several material providers. However, the cost is too high. It should be economic considering they are not providing the whole book. |
| Gnomez @2005-08-08 13:23:02 |
I went on half.com and a few other sites and ended up spending $450 total for all the books I needed. (I already owned one, and got 4 at a discount well below the "CFA discount" offered on the web site. The rest I bought off the CFA site.) My savings on those 4 books, plus the one I owned left me paying only $50 more than the CFA's notes. Seems like you get more bang for your buck if you just buy the books but get what you can used. |
| anexpo @2005-08-11 03:16:06 |
Yes if you want to buy the entire set of books because you don't have ANY financial background or education, then going with the bundle is slightly cheaper ($450 vs $395). But, as Tomoko pointed out, it would be way cheaper otherwise, and also from a long-term's perspective. |
| dots @2005-08-17 20:28:57 |
Gnomez: Half.com is a great site for getting the books - thanks for the tip. I just saved about $100 on two books! |
| peps @2005-08-24 12:28:49 |
hie guys, l will be writing my level 1 in june .l like to know if Schweser modules are suficient for someone with a degree in maths and statistics? |
| hory @2005-08-30 10:42:50 |
I do have a finalcial bakground, however I bought the material for exam 1 for 500 from a person who decided not to take the exam on December. Now I disovered this site, and i do not know if would be better to re-sell them. If I have the material what is teh best way to use this site, I really get to know the way to [prepare the exam faster. Than reading the whole material. |
| CHE00 @2005-10-16 08:59:59 |
Hey guys, RE: the new CFA institute notes for 2006 Level 1 Can you guys please confirm that the materials are just the collections of the required chapters from textbooks and they are not summaries or notes? I was planning to purchase it as I thought it was notes produced by CFAI which is similar to the analystnotes. Please if anyone can give me some advices..should I get the readings from CFA or else which notes should I buy? Best Regards, New L1 exam candidate |
| MrDrayton @2005-11-30 12:17:47 |
I'm relatively new to the site and plan on taking the Level 1 exam next June. Does this site offer good prepartory materials at a reasonable price, and if so are you guaranteed to pass?...(if that type of info is available), as opposed to going to say barnes & nobles to buy study guides? I would appreciate feedback from anyone who passed the level 1 exam. |
| mitthu @2005-12-03 10:22:03 |
Hi guys ,I am an engg graduate so i simply dont know anything about but i have planned to give CFA any advice? books,toughness,job market after the level 1. Friends are scaring me saying it is damn tough. |

| Rav26 @2006-06-16 22:34:58 |
can i get away with just using the notes from this site? |
| weez @2006-06-19 18:37:00 |
Rav26 - I would definitely use the notes from this site as a support tool, not as my main source of information. For me, at least, I find it hard to sit in front of a computer and really concentrate. I need to be sitting at a table or desk, with notes in front of me. The notes from this site are very thorough, and you could probably pass using them alone, but I would recommend against using the notes alone. Good luck |
| Rav26 @2006-06-20 14:10:27 |
Weez- Thanks for the info ; much appreciated ... Goodluck with whichever exam you are preparing for too |
| Cooltallgal @2006-06-26 02:05:28 |
Weez - There are printable notes too if you want to have physical notes to study besides using the computer. Same as you, I need to have some physical notes to read why I am on my way to work and I start losing my concentration when I am reading off the computer too long. I totally agreed with your comments on the notes though, its very thorough and direct to the point. I am using this one as the main source and probably do more practice questions from Schweser. |

| sidmitra20 @2006-07-07 21:53:06 |
Hi: I recently graduated with a BS in Finance and Management Science. I am looking into taking the CFA exam, but I heard that the CFA insitute does not award the charter unless you have 2-3 years of full time work experience relating to Finance. I was wondering that if I do pass all 3 levels of the CFA exam, and then look for a job relating to finance, then would it make me more marketable in the financial services industry??? Or should I get the work experience first and then take the exam??? Any response to this question is appreciated. Thanks. |
| NewYork @2006-07-09 05:56:15 |
No, even you pass the 2 first level, in order to take the level 3, you have to have 3-4 years real experience. So, trying to get through 2 levels, many companies will willing to offer you job that you can have that experience. Dont you see the recruiters' msg: " working toward CFA is a plus" Well well well good luck ;) |

Rajiv, anyone who has the notes has or will read the ethics section and knows or will know that illegal distribution of the notes is against CFA laws. |
| tunta @2006-09-13 19:23:29 |
Rajiv, although dipuo is correct, you can get at least the first part (Ethics), for free at the CFA institute page |

Hi - I'm taking the dec 07 exam. I'd like to know who likes to form a study group. :-) Also, I'm using a 2006 Schwester study program. Not sure how much risk I'm taking by doing so. Could anyone advice? Thanks a million in advance. |
| SalmaM @2007-09-30 19:28:47 |
Hi happyheart. I am also taking the level one exam in December and using 2006 Schwesser notes. The changes are minimal. Just use the new study guide to compare the LOS. There have been major changes to study session 4 (Macroeconomics) so u need to get the new notes for that. For the other sessions u can pick up most of the changes on this site. How much progress have u made with the studying so far? |
| SalmaM @2007-10-01 11:57:04 |
Hi happyheart. It's actually all the study sessions on economics that have major changes (4,5 n 6). Good luck with the studying! |

Folks, I am not sure if you know and really wonder about you question. CFA institute is providing all the notes when you register to them for exam. They have increased the exam fees to $688. So I believe you do not have to worry about the study material. You are bound to get the latest and greatest and what is required for June 2008 exam. |

postpet - It's 2/1/08 for reference and I'm through study session 5 and moving on to six and then volume 3. It's slow going but a specific study plan has helped me stay on track with goal of all readings completed by May 1 with then about 5 weeks for practice tests. Progress of others Level I Candidates? |

I tried going through the study sessions serially, but didn't work for me. Now, I'm done with Quant, Ethics and Portfolio Mgt. I'm studying Financial Statement Ana., Corporate Finance concurrently. I think it's better to finish early (say April 1) and have more time for practice tests/ revision. |

I've many questions in this thread that i would have different perspective on depending on when i read them. I started to get interested while i was 29, fast forward 5 years later i decided to give this one a go this Dec (level 1). You take this exam because you want a career as an equities, fixed income, commodities analyst with the buy side or sell side. If you're not from finance it's OK (I've done 10yrs of I.T), but you atleast need a solid understanding of what you want first before embarking on a tough ultra marathon such as the CFA. If you don't understand any of what i mentioned (buy side, sell side, equities vs fixed income) then you'll need to go through them online, ask questions and reevaluate if this is what you want. It took me 5 years to gather all the information to come to a conclusion that this is for me. I hope you take less time - All the best |
