Reviewers had a great experience with this company.

A few individuals also noted that specific study materials felt lacking in quality or became overly challenging as they progressed through advanced levels.

It would be worthwhile for Kaplan to hire someone to proofread the curriculum. Finding typos distracts from my learning.

Some chapters are quite challenging, and the explanations and examples do not provide a comprehensive overview, particularly regarding statistics, EPS, and financial analysis.

The overall system is good, but the material for level 2 is simply not as good as level 1. The modules, questions and explanations are not always helpful or nearly as clear. At the price pt, it should be better.

The course features a mix of engaging lecturers and others who primarily read from the slides. Additionally, the course materials include an excessive amount of supplementary books and handouts, which can be overwhelming for students. A more focused approach on key concepts would be more effective.

besides the very good Qbank questions, a lot is wrong with this exam prep. Find capable people to explain to people the material, the guys on this videos are a total joke, professor cannot make a full sentence without saying ''euuhhh...'' , ''no sorry'', more ''eueeuuuhhh heh heh" . a lot of questions have mistakes but can't report it and comment to flag it. will definitely go with MM.

I like the Schweser notes, Secret Sauce, quick formula sheet, Module videos, Module Quizzes. Yet to try the mocks. However the vignettes are linear scrolling and very time consuming in switching between text and questions. It could have been better to format the same way UWorld qbank is designed. It needs simple investment in interface designing. In Level2 this vignettes are very important.

Don’t take chances on other providers, Invest your resources and time into their prep programs!
With the direct approach to consolidating the material directly from CFAI, Kaplan Schweser breaks everything down in manageable portions with easy and concise rewording of each section.
Their end of module videos tie in the lesson and their Masterclass videos break everything down further and drills into the mechanics of the content.
I would Highly Recommend investing into Kaplan Schweser CFA prep for All Levels for your CFA journey!

I've used Kaplan for levels I and II of the CFA and they were great!! So far in level III the content has also been wonderful however there have been so many errors in content as I've been going through that I've stopped emailing the Kaplan team. I was alerting them at the beginning, however after the 4th or 5th error I just stopped asking about it or communicating it as it was slowing me down constantly reaching out to the team to alert them.

Site is always down. Do not rely on Kaplan Schweser!
I used this for CFA Level 1 and the site was consistenly down, to the point at which I was refunded entirely. This was back on 2021! Here I am back again for Level 3 and to my surprise, when I wanted to sink my teeth into studying, the site is down and I can't even log in. What a joke.
