It may be good for beginners to understand the concepts, but it is a waste of your money if you are taking the exam. One frustrating thing about this book is that the formulas use a different notations/symbols/terminology than what you will find in CFA Institute books. So you are likely to go back and forth between notations and get confused. It is better to stick to CFA Institute notations as questions in the exam will use the terminology from their book.

You will also be surprised to know that this book does not cover 2008 CFA Learning Objectives.. And summed up by saying Don´t waste your money on this. Currently Kaplan CFA Basics: The Schweser Study Guide to Getting Started has an overall rating of 6 over 10.
