I trust you've recovered  from the big exam and have started figuring out what do with all the extra time you now have.

If you don't mind perhaps you can help in a few ways:

1.  Share any feedback you might have on how we can make our videos better for the next group of students. My team and I are in the process of creating new videos. Your input will be of immense value.  

2. Join the our December 2013 Level I Group and share you insights.  Responding to questions on this forum will enable you to stay on top of Level I material.  This will help you at Level II.  

3. Please encourage others to check out our material.  We are relatively small and rely on word of mouth marketing.  

Thank you so much for your support and please stay in touch.

Regards,
Arif Irfanullah

Hi you all from Seville (Spain),
I am very happy with Mr. Irfanullah. His videos are excellent and very precise. He hits the key points in all readings. I don't know if I pass my exam, I'm not really sure about. What I'm really sure is that if would have followed all the recommendations of this fantastic teacher I would have passed the exam. My problem was as probably some of you guys was the time. It's hard to work, spend time with my 3 kids and wife, and at the end of the day study at nights…jajaja. Anyway, I will make it for sure in December if I did not clear this time. And for sure, I will buy again Mr. Irfanullah's study package.

Best.

Borja.

Hi Arif,

I am very happy with IFT videos and will definitely use them for the next levels. They were/are the core of my study process. The only suggestion I could have, in my own opinion, is to have more practice problems in the lectures which mimic the real exam format. Maybe it is only my experience, but I have noticed that doing a lot of practice problems similar to the real test format instead of simple questions/solutions made me understand and memorize topics better. Again, it might be only me, but even after reviewing IFT lecture slides twice I still kept forgetting a lot of details until I began doing practice problems in exam format. 

I'm not sure if my point is valid and if it brings any value to improve lectures, but I just wanted to share my 2 cents.

Thank you again and I look forward to watching your videos for Levels 2 and 3.

Sincerely,
Leo

Hello fellow candidates,

What I found most useful with Mr. Irfanullah's style was the way he gave so many tips on how to manage our time, how to read/analyze the questions in order to make sure that we understand exactly what is being asked and on which topics we should dedicate more of our energy. There were specific subjects that he mentioned we should be extra careful about and following his advice, I revisited some of the questions at the end of the exam to double-check. 

Even though it is hard to tell whether I will pass or fail, I am certainly thankful to Mr. Irfanullah for both the lectures and the well-thought-of quiz questions. The lectures, I find, were very precise and to-the-point. With his instructions, I was able to actually "learn" all the concepts and "learning" objectives covered in the curriculum rather than merely memorizing them. The actual exam questions were less challenging than my expectations and if I fail, it will probably be because of stress/anxiety giving way to stupid mistakes that could easily be avoided. 

It is going to be rather nerve-wrecking waiting for the results for two months! I hope we will all pass with flying colours and will be giving feedback on Level II this time next year! 

Have a great summer! 

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

Actually at first I watched videos from schweser until book 3.  One guy in that video just killed me, he just read the slides and I didn't want to waste my time with him.
My friend recommended me to Mr
Irfanullah videos. I tried it on youtube for a week and liked what I saw so I decided to buy the package. I enjoyed watching his videos. I really learned a lot, even though it was a bit late when I bought the package so I don't have time to go back to review book 1-3. I don't think that I passed the exam this time, but it is nothing about his videos,  they were excellent.
It was because I finished reading late and only left myself 10 days for full practice. I got freaked out because I ran out of time when I practiced questions, I just realized that I forgot a lot of stuff from Quan and Fra
I spent a lot of time checking answers so I could not practice as much as I wanted.

Mr.Irfanullah I just want to thank you so much for your excellent videos and lectures. For sure, on level 2 & 3 you will be my tutor again.

For my honest suggestion: 
The thing that annoyed me was that you referred us to watch the 2011 videos. You should just make everything on the new video even though the curriculum does not change. Because sometimes stuff is overlapping and sometimes we really have to watch the 2011 video because the new one only covers practice from the curriculum. It was nice for repetition, but it's really time consuming.

Thank you,
Ubonwan

Hello 

Overall lectures were perfect! 

I would like to mention about Ethics Topic. It will be great if you could cover curriculum Questions in more detail. As you had mentioned in one of the classes do the examples from Curriculum, I did the same thing but still there were few questions for which I was not convinced even  with the answer explanation. 

I would recommend to put more practice questions recorded and put it for students. I believe, only tricky one's where one get confused between 2 answers. 

Overall I had a superb experience with online classes. I guess best thing about your video lectures is pace of voice is slow, which helps students understand and digest the concept in a given time.

I watched the videos several times. I had them on my phone, my tablet, my laptop and my PC. I always logged onto the internet to listen. During my lunch breaks, my break fast and when driving, I had my ear piece and was always listening. So going through the slides after watching the videos made it easier.
Your questions are also good. After watching your videos and solving your questions, it makes Schweser prp easier.
The google group discussion is also helpful because of the contribution of members.
Your video  materials go straight to the point and are summarized.
