Week 8: Investing in CIA Exam Review
Prioritize Comprehensiveness
On your CIA journey, it’s so important that your study materials are both comprehensive and convenient. Gleim is known for having the most comprehensive CIA study materials around. With Gleim, not only do you receive instructor videos, audio lectures, and a textbook, but each form of content is unique. Each form of content is an added value to your studies. For instance, the textbook does an excellent job of discussing the material at a high level and providing the right amount of detail. The instructor videos and audio presentations take it a step further by providing real-world examples. The positive about Gleim is that it is all about preference.
I prefer watching the instructor videos, even though they are rather lengthy compared to the textbook and audio lectures. With the videos, I’m able to actively listen and really focus on the topics being discussed by the instructor. An additional bonus to the videos is that after each section is discussed, the instructor walks through multiple-choice questions. I really value the ability to review multiple-choice questions after completing a section because it helps me to see what information I have retained. I must admit that after a long day at work the last thing I want to do is read a textbook.
Enjoy Convenience
Although I really enjoy the CIA instructor videos, the audio lectures are also pretty cool. If you need to get through a unit and you have a heavy commute to or from work, it isn’t a bad idea to listen to the audio lectures on the way home. The best part about Gleim is the flexibility. One day I may feel like watching the videos, and the next day I may want to listen to the audio. I love not feeling as if I’m stuck with only being able to use one method. Gleim gives you the ability to decide.
I also love that, regardless of the study material you use, you always know the information provided will be comprehensive but without too many unneeded details. I just can’t stress enough to pay the extra money and get the Gleim system. You may think at first all you need is just the textbooks and that audio lectures and instructor videos aren’t needed, but honestly, they make a world of difference, especially if you are working full-time!
