Any experiences to share? Am thinking of possibly getting some video lectures to help. Self studying can be a bit harsh when I don’t get a particular concept. ReenaParticipant CFA Charterholder 13 Mar 2017 at 3:52 pm Up5:: Hmm interesting, I never thought of other methods other than staring at the book. this may help, will check it out. Thanks guys Anonymous 14 Mar 2017 at 12:29 pm Up4:: I just take notes. Not uber complete, but like jimmyg says the writing helps. policedogParticipant Undecided 13 Mar 2017 at 3:30 pm Up3:: Thanks@hairyfairy, will give flash cards a whirl. hairyfairyParticipant Undecided 13 Mar 2017 at 7:17 am Up2:: Using just the bare basics, but making my own flash cards. They really work! fabianParticipant 13 Mar 2017 at 3:36 am Up1:: I’ve found video lectures useful in the past. The disadvantage though is that they werent as moble (as dragging along 6 books anyway) Maroon5Participant CFA Level 1 12 Mar 2017 at 10:51 pm Up0:: I always thought changing the format, mixing it up when learning helps. Kinda like Rosetta Stone style. I use video lectures and reading mainly, can’t stand classroom style lessons. jimmygParticipant 13 Mar 2017 at 7:09 pm Up0:: I’ve always used flash cards. Writing them is 75% of the effectiveness, i feel. Author Posts Viewing 7 reply threads You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Register Log In
