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.

They have helped me get through CFA… They have helped me get through CFA Level 1 in the 90th percentile and have also helped tremendously in preparing me for level 2. The combination of thorough exposition of difficult topics and hands-on assistance make Kaplan great.

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.

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.

Strong prep provider - to be completed with CFAI Learning ecosystem for deeper practice and true exam format Vert structured course. Schwesser Notes are super useful to master the key concepts. Qbank is super useful to review basic knowledge quickly. Questions from Qbank and schwesser mock are slightly too easy. Complete practice with CFAI vignettes and mocks to better practice exam format from official CFA Learning ecosystem.
