Can you compare/contrast it with stalla and schweser like, different, reference, contrast

dece2011

Which one of you used the Elan Guides and can you compare/contrast it with stalla and schweser?

Did you buy the Elan notes? Or just the mocks and 11th hour?

It looks like Elan notes have the LOS's and reference the CFAI page numbers from each volume which is nice, kind of makes you follow the CFAI books, etc. Seems like Elan is really going straight out of the CFAI volume books and just breaking it down for you.

I have read the Schweser notes and they have a different style, just wondering if maybe one of these study materials are misleading. I know for Ethics, everyone is using the CFAI books, but for other topics like Econ maybe another study material is better.

Good call man. You've made the right decision.

What does the EOC stand for in "CFAI EOC Questions"?

Elan's mock exams were the closest thing to the real thing. A lot of posters on this thread share that opionion.

I have used Schweser and Elan both and preferred Elan. Elan's style is more conceptual and this is how the actual exam is also for the most part. The two statement style that you mention is an example. The EOC CFA questions and the mocks also contain questions that follow this format.

What did you guys think of the Elan mock exams? Those who used them. I'm using Schweser mocks, but seems like maybe Elan could be better prep. I've compared the schweser and elan questions and they are much different in my opinion in style/format.

Econ for example: (Elan)

Consider the following statements:

Statement 1: The MRP of labor for a firm that is a price taker remains constant at all
output levels.
Statement 2: The MRP of labor for a firm that is a price searcher rises as it expands
output.

Which of the following is most likely?

A. Both statements are correct
B. Both statements are incorrect
C. Only Statement 1 is correct.

Answer: C


I have not seen any schweser ones like this. I've yet to take the actual exam so I have no idea if this format could come up.
