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.

The support needed The study plan really is the cornerstone of getting through all the material in an organized manner and on your own. Kaplan provides the tools needed to learn and apply the concepts in order to successfully obtain the charter, but there's one thing they can't provide, the discipline required to get through it all, that is sold separately.

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.

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.

Flexible and focused CFA program Kaplan provides you a great program to start your CFA journey. It helps you get organised and focus on the most important topics.
