Andrew Wiley started his work at Cumberland University in January 2018 when the Papers of Martin Van Buren employed him as the new associate editor. His research interests are Civil War Era politics (particularly conservatism), military history, Cold War History, and the history of Baseball. In addition to his editorial work, Dr. Wiley teaches introductory level courses on United States History, occasionally teaches upper-level history courses, and has served as a guest editor for the Tennessee Historical Quarterly.

With a robust curriculum that provides well over the necessary 300 hours of prep work, Wiley gets a lot of hype and word of mouth marketing. Some people even call it the best in the industry. But does a comprehensive study plan justify the price tag of this review course? (The short answer: no). We take a close look at the Wiley CFA prep course in this detailed review guide, and share our thoughts and experiences.

Most every CFA candidate seeking their charter has heard that it takes roughly 300 hours of study time to adequately prep for each level of the exam. As such, it is critical that the course you take provide this level of work and then some. And after taking the Wiley course, I can say that they deliver.

The course is structured generally by study session. No matter which level you are on, there will be a series of study sessions that you must work through to complete your prep. For reference, there are around 20 for Level I.

The video and text portions are generally aligned with each other and go hand-in-hand (similar to the Kaplan Schweser CFA courses). And while this may sound like a lot, the lessons actually go pretty quickly. They are designed by Wiley to only take 30 to 45 minutes per lesson.

These bite-sized lessons not only break up study sessions and allow for more efficient studying, but the short nature generally improves comprehension and retention as well. I was very happy with the digestible lesson chunks.

The video lectures generally take the form of a digital whiteboard, where your instructor voices the lesson over written material. A section from the relevant study guide is generally the basis of the written material onscreen, and your instructor teaches more or less from the book.

Though sometimes lectures do deviate, and in those cases, you are given a separate handout. But by and large, the portion of the study guide at issue will roll across the screen and your instructor will mark it up with red or blue ink as they talk.

I would say the lessons on average generally took me about 45 minutes in total, though often on the longer side (but rarely, if ever, over an hour). Again, I liked that these lessons are quick hit and designed to accommodate working professionals.

Complementing the video lessons, Wiley also offers access to live virtual classes. These classes meet for 3-hour sessions about once a week or so over a few months. You meet in a digital classroom and watch your instructor present a lesson on heavily-tested topics.

In addition, even when not directed to work practice questions, you are always free to jump in to the test bank and create custom practice sets yourself. I did this pretty frequently for topics that I found I was weak on. You can personalize a practice session by topic, number of questions, practice mode, and more.

Accompanying each problem (in the test bank and assessments) is a written solution. These text explanations demonstrate why the correct answer is correct. For me, these explanations were super lacking.

That is generally how the study plan proceeds until you wrap up all your study sessions within the given level. Overall, I mostly liked this course plan. Given the simple, repetitive nature of lesson, practice and assessment, it is easy to find a groove and plan out your studies through a busy week.

At the end of each level you are given access to take two, full-length mock exams. This pales in comparison to the six that Kaplan Schweser gives you, and I was not happy with the quantity.

For me, these almost have more value in terms of just getting you mentally prepared for the rigors of the exam, including the stress of pacing and length of the exam, than the value in the substantive content of the test.

The other core component of your Wiley CFA prep course is the set of study guides. When you sign up with Wiley, you will get a 5-volume set of both print and digital prep books. This CFA book set covers everything on a given level of the exam across a couple thousand pages. These books are thorough and comprehensive.

Of these resources, I really liked the performance metrics. Wiley provides some powerful analytics that give you some helpful insights into your performance. You can view your performance by assessment, practice set, mock exam and more.

Wiley allows you to slice up this data so you can zero in on where you are weak, which in turns lets you target those areas through some extra practice. I also like the visual presentation of this data.

The course curriculum is thorough and offers a varied approach to studying that I found beneficial. Between recorded video lectures, live class sessions, detailed study guides, practice problems, and assessments, there is a healthy mix of material for all learning types. And generally speaking, you will never run out of study content.

With that said, I think the problem explanations are too thin and I would like to see more instructor face time in the video lessons. Bottom line, though the Wiley CFA course is alright, I just think there are better CFA prep courses available on the market.

Benchmark Phonics Intervention is a Tier 3 phonics intervention program that provides systematic, explicit phonics instruction to students who are two or more years below level, students with dyslexia, and students with other learning disabilities who struggle with learning to read. The following documents provide the research foundation and evidence for the program:

Thiamine, or vitamin B1, was the first vitamin to be identified. It functions as a catalyst in the generation of energy through decarboxylation of branched-chain amino acids and alpha-ketoacids and acts as a coenzyme for transketolase reactions in the form of thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine also plays an unidentified role in propagating nerve impulses and taking part in myelin sheath maintenance. This activity reviews the causes of thiamine deficiency, the associated pathophysiology, and typical patient presentation and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management.
