I'm sure the polls aren't scientific, but it does give a quick overview of how other candidates and charterholders view Stalla and Schweser. I found analystexams.com useful.

I'd be also interested in knowing if anyone's signed up for any of the online study classes. I love the 'break up' of materials in online classes and find it easier to study when things are taken and broken down online. I also noticed online classes from "India" (500.00$). Has anyone taken these? I would love to sign up for a cheap online CFA class just to get into it a little more! Thanks for this post Lumilog, and to the person that also posted the video links.

Shweser notes is very well written and I am amazed at how well they did in conveying concepts. Moreover, it has many problems with each concept, which serve as excellent concept checkers. I prefer to read textbook first in important subjects such as financial statement analysis and use Shweser as reminder. But in less significant subject such as corporate finance and derivative instruments, Shweser is enough. Economics needs some extra care: it does need someone to have a basic knowledge of economics at least at a same level of a introductory undergraduate course, so I picked up Samuelson's economics (chinese translation actually, it seems universally popular) and skimmed through it. After that, the textbook reads like a breeze. Hi! Shweser notes is very well written and I am amazed at how well they did in conveying concepts.

Might want to just shoot the CFAI an email asking b/c all work experience is not judged equally. Good Luck! Lumilog Hi Craig,

According to this link it looks like work experience can count in place of a degree. Might want to just shoot the CFAI an email asking b/c all work experience is not judged equally.

Good Luck!

They offer a 10 day course, split into learning and revision. Not sure what the outcome is yet. Only trouble - I have no degree, but I do have wealth management experience and the IMC plus advanced financial planning quals. Is this going to be enough to be accepted? Appreciate your thoughts.
