ELAN NOTES ONLY? finance, reading, starting, especially

edgeon

Ok, so i am using Elan notes only. I did pretty well on the CFAI EOC on econimics, fsa, and quant. However, starting with corp finance and especially after the corp. governance chapters, i started getting low 80s and 70s. I also realized that quite a few things that are in the CFAI books are totally omitted in the Elan notes (those are the questions i was getting wrong). I am now freaking out! Should i start reading CFAI books too? Is there anyone experiencing the same problem or is it just me? Anyone with prior experience, please advice here, thanks.

Used Elan to prepare for the Dec 2010 exam and between their notes and videos everything was very well-covered I felt. The CFA book summaries, questions and glossary should be enough to ensure that you have all the stuff covered. That's what I did and I dont recall being 'clueless' about anything on the CFA mock exam, sample exams, or the real exam.

Best of luck

If it's stressing you out, skim read the CFA chapters after going through the

I'm doing fine dude. Corp. Governance was a major drag and I has trouble retaining my focus through it. Other than that I though corp fin was a breeze.

you realize "low 80s and 70s" is still a pass, right?

Kiakaha, lets put it this way, i wanna be as far away from failing as possible. It just freaks me to face something i am totally clueless about. There are certain things which the notes don't cover in detail so i am just trying to see which is an efficient way to leave no stone unturned.
