        I’m planning to buy Schweser notes but not sure which package offered by them is good. The basic notes package costs about $379 and premium package is priced above $1000. Which package is recommended for level 1? I’ve registered for June 2016 exam and need some advise on the pros and cons of each package.

            Thansk Ch.Ministry. I will weigh my options and take a call.

              I found their long-form notes to be great (For L1, way less awesome for L2/L3). I hated their secret Sauce, the cram sheet is OK/useful. Some candidates find the videos/qbank useful. IMO QBank is really over priced and the questions don’t mimic the test format. But if you want to drill specific types of questions over and over, I guess that’s helpful.

                You should go with the premium package because for level 1, schweser is the key. But if you plan on reading the CFAI, then just buy basic package.

                  I agree that most QBanks are over priced. With eQBank.io, you have access to a full question bank, a mock exam and a formula sheet for $19.99. There’s also a free trial: https://eqbank.io/free_trial.php
