Kaplan is 100% worth the $ The schweser notes are great they summarize to make them much shorter than the CFA content. But still long enough to grasp the concept. All the extra practice questions were great. Doing practice questions is how you remember material better than just reading it. Overall great experience.

CAIA L2 Feedback Video On-Demand instructor for CAIA L2 is poor quality compared to L1. Instructor Link questions do not get answered and require multiple follow ups, especially for L2. Study materials (e.g. Schweser notes and On-Demand videos) for L2 were not available in a timely manner and were uploaded disjointedly/sporadically.

Disappointing prep materials for 2024 exams When I used Kaplan for CAIA L1, everything was great. Great instructor who provided helpful examples and explanations, and all materials were completed, delivered, and unlocked on time. I don’t know what happened this year but everything has been delayed, materials and activities are locked and not complete, and the instructor for L2 doesn’t explain or provide enough context to help understand the concepts.

Video Courses Set Kaplan Apart Overall, great materials. The on demand video courses were particularly helpful and very clear. Seeing formulas used in action and explained step-by-step really allowed the concepts to sink in. The cost is really all that is keeping the Kaplan Schweser materials from a five star review - the price is *very* steep.

It's hard work but Kaplan makes it enjoyable. The course is presented in a clear and enjoyable manner with very skilled instructors. Every reading comes with slides so no need to pause and make notes. I especially appreciate the automated planning that Kaplan provides and the ability to track your progress on your journey. This way you know if your on track for the exam and you'll know beforehand if you need to increase the pace or if you can slow down a bit. Highly recommended.
