UpperMark or Edge Designations?

Hi Guys!

I am taking up CAIA level 1 in March 2024 and wasn’t sure which learning provider to go with. I have seen reviews for all of them but I narrowed it down to UpperMark and Edge Designations for both, study text and question bank. Which one, based on your experience, is the better learning provider overall to crack the level 1 paper?

I just used the free Wiley stuff online that came with registration.

Crammed for a few days before the test and passed. Didn’t even make it through most of the HF or any of the PE material!

Just understand the options framework they use to discount everything and spend time on the ethics stuff since it’s heavily weighted.

Beware of one thing with Edge: I bought their package (Option 2 + Option 3) on 2 Jun’24 and got a 20% discount.

On 26th Jun’24, I received an email from them offering a 50% discount on the same package.

When I responded, they said I got access to the material for more days, so I should pay more.

Across industries, there is always an early-bird discount.

I had a couple of email exchanges with them, but their response was rude.

I could have easily waited for 24 days for a 50% discount.
