BIWS WSP WST . . . . . 100. TTS
So BIWS is superior to all others . Thank you.
I mean I've only done BIWS but it's really something you're not going to really use for preps for interviews in a way since you should know the technicals for interviews. They're there or at least BIWS was for if you're interested in more detail on what kind of work or modeling you may encounter if that makes sense.
You can get technicals elsewhere but they're great if I think you need to maybe do a case study or model for the interview cause interviewing higher up. But that's just my opinion.
Yeah, for technicala I'm going through various books and for prep i may take up BIWS. Hope it helps.
I have done the BIWS excel and fundamentals course. not cheap but first class content.
However, keep in mind that BIWS fundamentals course if insanely detailed. Only the video material is like 100+ hours but with a little background in finance somebody can skip quite a lot of sessions. But overall the content is really really high level, videos are great, and the course is easy to follow. I skipped through many sessions and just watched the videos I was interested in. I noted however, that even in a seemingly easy topic there was always something new I could learn.
The excel course is really high content as well. However, same as for fundamentals course, it is f*****cking detailed. Just to give you an idea, you have 1 hour video material about printing and all insane stuff you can adjust for printing. Similar to fundamentals you can just skip through everything you don't really need. However, it is really useful to check certain functions or shortcuts you don't remember. I am still a student I forgot quite some stuff as I don't directly use it, however, I needed some more advanced financial functions for a course at uni, and while everybody else was trying to figure this shit out, I just checked my BIWS material!
I found the material super useful for my prep and can highly recommend it. You have to take into consideration that it uses up a lot of your time if you want to do it seriously though.
thanks for your opinion. I may skip basic excel videos and save time, but i hope it is detailed as well in terms of all other valuation videos too.
trust me that it is really detailed. It will not disappoint you
I have used both BIWS and WSP. Save yourself the money and check out A Simple Model and Macabacus.
Yeah I''ve tried learning through macabacus but i believe BIWS content has more to offer. macabacus templates are really good. If i use BIWS i might be able to learn more i believe.
BIWS vs. TTS Self-Study (Originally Posted: 12/21/2016)
I did a search, but the most relevant thread is one created in 2012.
Interested in getting an office resource/reference for modeling. Looking at BIWS Premium + Excel & PowerPoint Bundle vs. TTS Complete Bundle. Would love insight to which is the more comprehensive / applicable product. Thanks!
we use BIWS - not familiar with TTS
The most helpful part of BIWS was the short cuts and the intro to modeling classes. I haven't used it outside of that.
My school puts all the finance MBAs through TTs. Personally I found their model to be extremely basic. I've also used a BIWS model for FIG. Personally I've found Wall Street Prep to be my favorite(the guy does a better job of explaining the "why" for the most part).
Just don't think you can model to a professional standard because of these For the most part real world models are much more complicated.
