2.0 out of 5 stars Expected a lot more from CFAs publishing a book about the exam, November 12, 2007

This review is from: ExamWise For CFA 2007 Level I Certification: The Candidates Question and Answer Workbook to Chartered Financial Analyst 2007 Level-I (With download Exam) (Paperback)

Where do I start... Ok, its a great book, I guess, in its entirety. Why, only because it has multiple choice questions that are relevant to CFA level I. However, its sloppily put together and some of the answers to the questions the book asks are absolutely WRONG. C cannot be an answer to a question with only answers A & B. It's pretty embarrassing to the CFA institute that they allowed these people to publish a book that barely helps candidates pass. It's also embarrassing to the CFA institute that they allowed the authors to pass level 1. Stick with Stalia or the CFA institute books themselves.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, January 4, 2008

As the other reviewers said, this book is sloppy. Some answers are wrong. Furthermore, it doesn't provide a consistent focus, and is just random questions. This if fine for the exam, but doesn't really help you focus on areas that need your focus. I found the book so frustrating because I simply throw it away.

As this is one of the lower priced versions out there, I expected the quality to be slightly lower. What I found was that the questions were not nearly as in-depth as what is presented on the CFA website, several of the answers were incorrect and the on line material was not included. Overall a dissappointing purchase, but not terrible since it was not expensive.
