The CFA isn’t hard

It's HOW you prepare for it that makes it hard.

Most prep material providers use a linear teaching system... You have to read through pages, drowning in content and details, making it extremely difficult to remember what you are expected to on exam day.

Understand in a few hours concepts you've been struggling with for weeks if not months

No mock exams or formula sheets inside. What you will get is powerful videos giving you sharp, concise and straight to the point explanations that will help you make the most out of the material you have (whatever it is) and get laser-focused on what’s important on exam day.
