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on the fact that the classes are 3 years old, and a number of the errors I have identified relate to the fact that an outdated curriculum was being cited or used.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

Enrolling was very a very simple… Enrolling was very a very simple process. I truly enjoyed Kaplan and being able to do it online. You can pay for individual components of a test prep course. Offer more full practice tests and score increase guarantee with their courses.

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.

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.
