Good content - late release soured my experience I generally like the content. But the release date for May exam was late February. The estimated time to complete the material per week is 30-35 hours. This is a very large commitment while working full. I wish it was released early Jan as that would greatly reduce my stress level.

Good experience I used only Kaplan for the questions, and I really liked how you can customize quizzes on your own. I think that the concept with videos is good, but I didn’t use them as I find it hard to follow.

Many Mistakes, Great User Interface Pros: I really like Kaplan's User Interface and the mix of quizzes, classes, and reading. I think the online classes led by Martin Stoynov are very helpful. I also appreciate the ability to email an instructor with questions. Cons: There are many, many errors in both the books and the quizzes. I have only submitted about 25% of these errors through the online "report an error" tool, and it worries me that there haven't been any user notices for the other errors I've noticed. I am not confident that the Kaplan curriculum is sufficiently mirroring the FRM official curriculum, based on the fact that the classes are 3 years old, and a number of the errors I have identified relate to the fact that an outdated curriculum was being cited or used. The instructors, apart from Martin, are ineffective and do not enhance my understanding of the material. We only go through calculator instructions in Martin's recorded class: Kaplan has not provided any calculator instructions for key FRM learning needs like bond pricing.

Platform is great but… Platform is great but…. There a few glitches, like to haves: 1) when making custom quizzes, it doesn’t always honour the question type criteria (e.g. don’t use previously answered questions). 2) it would be nice if the app had access to the lesson videos
