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
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)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, May 5, 2008

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.

Terrible Book. The book inlcudes a few multiple choice questions on each section, nothing more. There are no outlines, they just include the Learning objectives and call them outlines. The practice tests do not work. Stay away from this product and this company

1.0 out of 5 stars Laughably bad, November 20, 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)
This is the sloppiest book that I have ever seen. This book is littered with wrong answers to the point where you can't trust any of them. An embarrassment to the authors and editors. Their sloppiness is not limited to their textbook. Even their website that offers a free mock exam has an expired security certificate. Don't waste your time with this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money on this book!, February 16, 2008
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)
I've never written a review for anything, but I felt compelled to review this book because I was so disappointed with it. This book looks like it was compiled by middle-schoolers. The answers often don't match the questions. They've stretched about 150 questions into a 420-page book. Furthermore, the "FREE Mock Practice Exams" do not work. The code to access the exams was not valid and they ignored my emails for help. This book was a waste of my money. Do yourself a favor and just buy the Schweser books, they are worth every penny.
