AnalystPrep Reviews 196

This is a great site for learning about FRM. The videos are clear. I would recommend this to anyone who is new in finance to have a look at these videos to prepare for FRM.

I'm very sorry to say that AnalystPrep is absolute trash. I gave it a chance after buying access for all 3 levels, but in the end I had to abandon AnalystPrep for 2 main reasons. 1) The written material is very poorly written (includes many, many grammatical mistakes that really hurt readability and comprehensibility. 2) The question bank is replete with questions whose solutions are simply flat wrong. There is an aspect of the program whereby you can pose questions to "experts" who reply within a week or so. But whenever I reached out regarding a blatantly wrong question or a brazenly insufficient solution explanation to a question, they would respond with a seemingly cut and paste response not at all relevant to my query. These guys are truly unbelievable. Like I said, I did indeed use AnalystPrep to study for Level I - and I think I probably did pass the exam (results to come here in September) - but if I did pass it, it will have been in spite of these prep materials and not because of them. Certainly will be using Bloomberg or something else for Level II. If you care at all about passing or learnings something - and I assume that you do considering that you are about to embark on a 300-hour studying journey - DO NOT use analyst prep. It is also quite silly Dr. Forjan's (surprisingly mediocre videos) are already free on YouTube ... unbelievable. Watch out for the "Review" websites online that AnalystPrep pays to write sham positive reviews. That one got me. Happy studying.

I watched the videos for CFA level 2 readings by James Forjan and those are incredible. The delivery is perfect, entertaining and quite thorough. Videos well organized by LOS and you can tell the years of experience as a professor and the true love James has for education. 100% recommended.

He explains difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. Love the sports analogies!

great detailed content

I used AnalystPrep for my CFA level 1 and it gave me serious edge. I studied a lot with the books, but what made a huge difference was the mock drafts and the custom quiz . The videos are A1 and they cover everything. I really think it's a must for a great preparation.

AnalystPrep para dudas y consultas sobre mi preparación para el FRM nivel 2 (lo tomé una sola vez y aprobé muy bien), siempre tuve un soporte claro, directo y rápido, el material sale rápido cuando hay cambios en el temario de GARP, y los ejercicios y exámenes son muy útiles para practicar.

So helpful. I have been using the videos to prepare for the CFA Level II exam. The videos signpost the reading contents, explain the concepts and provide additional context for specific concepts.
The fun light-hearted analogies are also a welcome break to some very dry content.

I usually watch the videos before going into more in-depth reading and they are a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content when you look at the readings.

A great curriculum provider. James sir explains the concept so well that rather than memorising it, you tend to intuitively understand and absorb them.
Thank you ! Grateful I saw this at the right time for my CFA prep.

Very well explained and gives a great insight about topics in a very short time. Glad to have found Professor Forjan's lectures.

Great support throughout the course by the team, did not feel neglected

The questions and videos are okay. However, do not rely on them for any notes or for them to answer any questions.

Study notes have tons of theory, grammatical, and mathematical errors, I am not even sure how they got some of their numbers. Some of their own calculations even prove their mistake, yet they keep on going with their miscalculation.

If you will use the study notes, I recommend doing it as a refresher after already reading another set of notes. I would only recommend using this as a set of question banks and mock exams to help you get ready.

I loved using AnalystPrep for FRM.

QBank is huge, videos are great.

Would recommend to a friend

I have finished my FRM1 thanks to AnalystPrep. And now using AnalystPrep for my FRM2 preparation. Professor Forjan is brilliant. He gives such good explanations and analogies. And more than anything makes learning fun. A big thank you to Analystprep and Professor Forjan. 5 stars all the way!

Professor James' videos are excellent for understanding the underlying theories behind financial engineering / financial analysis. The AnalystPrep videos were better than any of the others that I searched through on YouTube for providing a clear explanation of some concepts, such as Portfolio theory, CAPM, and Arbitrage Pricing theory. Watching these cleared up many of the unclarities I had in my head. Highly recommended.

Every concept is very well explained by Nilay Arun. kudos to you man!

Very helpfull!

Excellent explantions, very clear!
