Kaplan SchweserReviews of schweser.com

Amazing Learning Plattform, the content was pretty close to the real examen, actually I felt the excercises from Kaplan were more difficult.

Hey Guys, - For what it's worth... I wrote L1 before COVID and just did L2 yesterday for the first time as well. To be honest, I was quite disappointed with the "formatting" of the 5 books for L2. I used Schweser for both exams, and from what I can remember, L1 Books were much better, easier to understand, better formatted (back in 2020). For L2 (2022 books), from time to time, I found thaht the concepts, formulas, formatting were a real mess. Really not intuitive, presented in different ways that makes it harder to understand. Lots of back and forth, lots of wasted time trying to understand how they present the information we need to learn. In short, I found the books were quite "disorganized". Also, don't count on the customer service. I also started to panic a bit hearing everyone around on how hard CFA would be vs. the Schweser exercises / books. After writing the L2 exam, I put things into perspective and I actually thank Schweser. Man, oh man; the exam was much easier than Mock Exams. QBank and Quizzes, not really, but they are good drills. I raged against the Mocks big time while doing them, but I'm very happy to have done them. Honestly, wow - I got to the CFA exam and questions were scratching the surface. The process is not easy, but using the "disorganized" information from the books and doing the Mocks were probably the 2 best things I have done. I had ZERO surprise excepted for like 1 question out of 88, no joke. So in that sense and overall, I can't help but recommend them. Note that I do not know the other providers, but to me I feel like they are overlooked (Schweser) and I don't understand why. What I thought would be a nightmare after going through 3 months of Schweser books/exams almost became a "dream". Whether I was well prepared, whether the exam was too easy? Anyways, I have to recommend it although no provider is perfect.

Great review and scheduling to keep you on track. Outside of the videos, the Q bank and being able to customize quizzes was the most beneficial part of the process for me.

It is very helpful !

I had a great experience with Kaplan. After my exam got postponed due to COVID, they were helpful in extending my course for another year. Appreciate it! Also, like to give a shout out to the instructors for breaking down some of the tough concepts into understandable bits.

Great test material— extremely difficult practice questions, which seemed more akin to those on the exam in terms of difficulty than the practice CFAI exams.

I have used Kaplan for a long time now. No one is even close to being better. BJ and Kent are absolutely fantastic and very helpful. The course content helps you understand the material very well.

Excellent and complete study resources!
