GBMany 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on the fact that the classes are 3 years old, and a number of the errors I have identified relate to the fact that an outdated curriculum was being cited or used.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.

CALecture videos helped to to understand… Lecture videos helped to to understand concepts as I do not have prior financial background in my education Having studied science and switching to finances studies was challenging Qbank is nice as it further helps to elaborate the comprehension of the study material

IEBated customer into buying a study… Bated customer into buying a study package only to to be informed months later that certain products of that study packages were not going to be made available. Would recommend going with UpperMark and not Kaplan.

NLIt'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.
