Anyone have experience with studying from audio books for the exam? Any experience helpful but particularly interested in Level 3. I spend two hours a day in the car so want to know if that’s an option. I used Schweser for Level 1 and 2 and have been happy. I saw they have an auditbook product, but it is expensive at $249 and it says it is only 20 hours, which sounds like it can’t possible cover the whole curriculum. Anyone use that, or audiobooks from any other provider?
Thanks!
You can use their video tutorials, and just listen to the audio instead of watching the video too.
I don’t know of anybody who has successfully learned anything from an audio book, aside from simple things like definitions. To study properly, most people need to write stuff down and do problems. You might try talking to blind people to see if they have better suggestions. As far as I know, the Society doesn’t cater to the visually impaired though, so blind people can’t write the CFA.
I think I paid about $30 for level 2 audio and it was just ok. No way was I going to spend $250 for level 3 and I suggest don’t as well. If you can find a very cheap year-old version, then go for it.
I just convert the Schweser Videos and burn them to CD to listen in the car… did that for L1 and L2… it’s more useful for the conceptual sections with few calculations (like Ethics.)
Good idea blackomen!
i listened to the video lectures when i sleep to subconsciously learn the material.
It kinda worked…
