FAQs

OK, I’ll admit it up front: not all of these are frequently asked questions.

Most people ask no questions at all.

A couple of these questions are real questions asked by real candidates; I’ll let you try to determine which they are.

Here’s what many of these really are: questions I hope that people would ask before plunking down their hard-earned to get access to my articles.

Q. I paid for my subscription, but I still can’t access the articles; it keeps telling me that I have to buy another subscription.  What’s going on?

A. What’s probably going on is something odd in WordPress that I’m trying to get fixed.  However, if you follow these steps it should work fine:

  1. Log in through the Meta box in the lower right corner of the page.
  2. When you log in, be sure to tick the Remember Me box.  This seems to be really, really important.
  3. When you land on the Profile page, click on Financial Exam Help 123 in the upper left corner.
  4. Voilà!

Another possibility is that you logged in with the wrong user name.  (Seriously: this happened recently.  The user kept logging in with his e-mail address instead of his user name.  Why he was allowed to log in with his e-mail address instead of his user name is a mystery, but once he started using the correct name, it worked fine.)

Q. Do you cover the entire curriculum at each Level?

A. Not even close.  I cover areas where I have found candidates often have difficulties, areas where I have seen other providers fall woefully short in providing clear explanations, and areas where I believe that I can provide unique, useful insight.  I also cover areas I enjoy: I have to get something out of this, after all.

Q. Are you an approved prep provider for CFA Institute?

A. No, I’m not.  To be an approved prep provider, you have to cover the entire CFA curriculum, which, as I mentioned above, I have chosen not to do.  There are many areas where other prep providers (or the CFA curriculum) provide good coverage; I want to focus on the areas where candidates need the most help, rather than spend my time on well tilled ground.

Q. What do I do if I don’t understand something in the curriculum, but you don’t have an article on it?

A. Send me an e-mail and ask me to write an article.  Many of my best articles have come directly from candidates’ requests.  I tend to handle requests first, because I know that I’m adding value that way.

Q. What’s the best way to use your site in conjunction with the CFA Institute materials or third-party materials?

A. Read those materials first.  If there’s something you just don’t understand, come here to see if I have an article on that topic.  If so: great!  If not, shoot me an e-mail requesting an article.

Q. What do I do if I find an error in one of your articles?

A. Send me an e-mail describing the error and the article in which it appears.  I’ll check it as quickly as I can and make appropriate edits.

Q. What if I subscribe and later find that you don’t cover as many topics as I’d hoped?  Can I get my money back?

A. Alas, no.  First, there should be no question about the topics I cover: the list of all current and all proposed articles is available for anyone to browse, so there is no valid argument that you didn’t know what you were getting for your investment.  Second, if I allow refunds, there’s nothing to stop unscrupulous candidates from subscribing, copying all of the articles, and then demanding a refund.  I have to protect my intellectual property.

Q. Are you really as good as people say?

A. Probably not; people tend to exaggerate, especially when their stress has been relieved.  But I’m still pretty good.

Q. Are you really a magician?

A. Yes.

  • What people have to say about Financial Exam Help 123

    Amazing Value

    Amazing value for folks who want a deep understanding of the more difficult topics. Passed all three levels above 90%ile.

    During my CFA prep across the three levels, I purchased the following items from FinancialExamHelp123, and I found them extremely helpful for understanding concepts:

    • Articles for CFA Level 1, 2, and 3
    • Command Word Guide (L3)
    • AM mock exams (L3)
    • Grading session for an AM mock exam (L3)

    The articles helped with understanding nuanced content in a much more intuitive manner than other providers (and CFAI curriculum).

    The mock exams cover the most difficult topics in L3, and help reinforce a deep understanding, much more so than any CFAI questions on these topics. The mocks come with both "model" answers which are representative of what would be expected as a response on the exam along wi...
