AnalystPrep Reviews 196

Concepts are explained in so easily understandable manner.

I love the video series because the explanation is provided in the simplest manner. It is helping me in clearing my concepts.

I'm totally new to the CFA curriculum and James Forjan's videos have been really helpful, I'm looking to take my exam this February. I'm from London, highly recommend.

The exam FM videos are invaluable, Stephen Paris is a good lecturer.

Very helpful to me, these videos are clear and easy to understand.

i have been looking for a concise yet very detailed tutorials for the FRM part 2, thank God i found Analystprep. Prof. Forjan explains the concepts very well and with good examples i can relate to. he touches every learning objective and makes it very practical. This is value for money spent. the question banks, notes and the mocks are so comprehensive and covers all the objectives too. thank you analystprep, thank you Prof Forjan for the great work.

Very clear and crisp YouTube videos, it's really helping in my FRM preparations to understand things better and in easier way

Passed level 2 CFA last year using analystprep. The questions are much closer to the exam than the competition.

The Exam P Question bank was riddled with errors that I had to notify them of.
Some questions match previous test questions, others are really just meant for practicing calculations.

great product, help me pass the level 1 exam with ease. Currently using their level 2, and they were really professional and helped me extend the subscription due to the exam being rescheduled to Dec 2020.

I will definitely get the level 3 product afterwards as well.

Using AnalystPrep for CFA Level 1

The videos are rudimentary, there is no use of diagrams, never does the lecturer even write over items or highlight sections (until Topic 10, the final Topic). It is page after page of black and white text. The lecturer regularly uses personal experiences for examples that really don't fit the situation, he often rambles about an American sport and will leave you confused and reverting back to investopedia.

The videos do include a stream of the lecturers webcam but he never uses his hands or face to convey a message, the stream takes up a third of the screen with his PhD and CFA designations detailed underneath (a live stream of a page may be better, possibly detail and write notes/draw diagrams of importance). Clearly the lecturer is very intellectual but not suited for virtual classes, I would suggest enlisting the support of someone with interactive capabilities and PowerPoint experience (Mark Meldrum is a good example or Else Grech, both can be found on youtube).

The videos do get better, you can note a stark contrast from early chapters to the final but I feel it is too little too late.

You may as well just read the book and take notes yourself, cheap but not worth the additional cost. The lecturer added some very insightful thoughts but they are few and far between, the hours to sit through each video could be spent elsewhere. There are also discrepancies between the video notes and written notes provided, accompanied by the occasional mistake (which isn't a big deal and easily noticed).

“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”
― Albert Einstein
I am sure the lecturer could explain all of this to a six year old but unfortunately not via a virtual platform such as AnalystPrep. I really hope the team there reviews the content and at a minimum brings the first 9 Topics/video content, to the standard set in 10.

Disappointing if you are looking to dive deep and get a complete understanding.

However, this platform is cheap and if you have an abundance of time, you can utilize this and sources like Investopedia, Mark Meldrum and Else Grech to round out each topic/subject.

I am using it to prepare FRM part 1. I do not recommend it. There are so many errors in the question bank. Very frustrated. It looks like analystPrep has never reviewed the questions/answers they provided and hired someone careless to build the question bank. Some errors are so obvious. You can even find something like the official answer tells 1 + 2 = 5 .

I think it makes more sense to read the CFA books and use Analystprep than pay for another exam provider. It's a reasonably priced service.

Passed FRM part 1 and 2 with help of Analystprep, great study provider.

Very helpful content for the FRM Part 1 exam. I will definitely use the website again for FRM Part 2.

Really enjoyed the question bank. The videos are a great addition and the customer support is excellent. I would strongly recommend.
