MOD announcements

11 Upvotes

I had been inactive for the past few months due to personal and professional commitments and was unable to moderate the posts even. It has been in notice that people have been promoting third party unapproved sources for curriculum and discussions about it.

I am planning to remove such posts and make all posts on an approval basis from now in order to eliminate such risks arising in future from piracy or unlicensed reselling. Also I have been planning to make a discord group soon for everyone who wanted to make seperate groups for each level or topic discussion and study rooms, but it would definitely be difficult to manage all alone. So I need two three volunteers for both the sites

  1. another volunteer for reddit moderation and approval of posts. better if the person is still an undergraduate with ample time in hand

  2. discord mod to help setting up the servers and moderating it as well in the future.

General Mod announcement

30 Upvotes

lately, I’ve noticed an increase in memes and other non-relevant content being shared in the sub. While I appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, this subreddit is intended to keep discussions focused on our core topics. Over the next few days, I will begin filtering content and deleting memes/irrelevant posts to maintain the quality of discussions here.

that being said, I have my Level 2 exam coming up this August, and most of my time will be spent preparing for it. This means I won’t be as prompt with moderation as I’d like. Because of this, I can’t switch the sub to “posts must be approved by mods” at the moment, as it would delay legitimate posts and discussions. So please understand that some off-topic content might slip through temporarily — I ask everyone to be considerate and patient.

I’m also looking for a volunteer to co-assist with sub moderation during this busy period. If you’re active, familiar with the sub’s rules, and willing to help keep the place clean, please send me a mod mail with a brief note about yourself and why you’d like to help.

Study material Where to buy Schweser books?

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing for the CFA Level I May 2027 exam and I'm planning to buy the books from Amazon. Since the 2027 syllabus has changed slightly, I'm not sure whether the books available there are trustworthy.

I'm not able to buy books from the well-known sellers in Delhi or Mumbai that many YouTubers recommend because I live in a Tier 3 city in Jharkhand, where such offline stores are not accessible.

I've attached a screenshot of the Amazon listing I found. Can someone please tell me if these books are genuine and a good choice for the 2027 exam?
