re-taker here…i picked up FinQuiz for L3 because it seems like the CFAI practice materials and the Schweser practice material (Q-bank, practice exams) are not updated for new questions each year. So I went to FinQuiz because I wanted a “fresh” source of questions. Like Mellon, I also had some frustration with some FinQuiz questions where wording was a bit strange and/or obscure and/or a few answers didn’t make sense. I think 1/20 is about right. I also noticed a few questions on FinQuiz that appeared to be hijjacked from Q-Bank, but not many.
Bottom line…FinQuiz really helped me to master some calculation methodologies (swap calculations, and some option calculations, in particular) by explaining these areas in a way that Schweser/CFAI does not and providing lots of examples to reinforce, which helped me to do them WAY faster than the way Schweser taught them…so that was worth the price in my opinion. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
PS My opinion is that CFAI intentionally writes its exams “away” from Schweser materials and tries to emphasize areas which favors candidates who have studied using CFAI and puts those who used Schweser exclusively at a relative disadvantage. FinQuiz is a bit off the radar so I think that does not hurt, either, in terms of getting full exposure to the materials. |
