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.

Good content - late release soured my experience I generally like the content. But the release date for May exam was late February. The estimated time to complete the material per week is 30-35 hours. This is a very large commitment while working full. I wish it was released early Jan as that would greatly reduce my stress level.

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.

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.

Helpful I like the way Kaplan explains concepts and gives examples.
