Amazing study program for all CFA aspirants. Question bank is awesome which tests all the topics incorporating the real-exam like complexities.

Helpful material and question bank reviewed at my own pace

I got the essential package and it was enough for me to do well in all 3 levels of the CFA exam. I have some minor complaints about technical details, like the text box to write answers for level 3 practice is really bad, you can´t go back to words using arrows, just clicking with the mouse. Some other minor issues. But the content, the Notes, questions, study plan and calendar, and practice exams are great and prepare you well, and that is what really counts on exam day. If you can afford it, go for it. Ps: I didn't pass level 3, results will be available in Feb probably. But I think I did ok on the exam, just to make clear.

The structure of the plan was great, really helped to get organized.

Great experience!. Considering the obscurity of the level 3 material, Scheweser does a great job by putting together a straightforward and easier-to-digest set of materials. The videos and weekly classes are a fantastic complement to summarize and highlight the main topics. The practice tests and mock exams are an excellent way to get up to speed and practice under real-world conditions. I would definitely recommend Schweser for Level 3!

I have used the premium study package for CFA level 1. It proved to be very helpful for me. Especially the customizable study schedule has helped me to spread the study load over the available time that I had. It helped me to stick to the schedule and stay disciplined. The real exam was very similar to the mock exams that I had practiced before. I felt that I was very well prepared during the exam. For all topics, except Ethics, I have only used Kaplan Schweser materials (no CFAI materials). For Ethics, I have used both. I have spent approximately 250 hours to prepare. My score was higher than the 90th percentile score of all candidates. In 2018, I was registered for the CFA level 1 exam as well, without using any 3rd party help. I did not even manage to work through more than 20% of the study materials and quited after that, because I had no guidance at all. With the knowledge that I have now, I would probably consider the essential package instead of the premium package. I think it is sufficient.

Excellent choice for CFA Level 1. I have purchased the premium plus package and it was great. Every subject was explained in detail, a lot of questions to practice and a lot of mock exams. The online lessons were really useful in order to get everything in order and to succeed. Especially in times like the one I took the exam (mid Covid-19) they were next to us and helped us with everything. I suggest it 100%.

Kaplan Schweser Notes and other materials helped me a great deal to prepare for my CFA L1 exams. For the most part, I used Schweser Notes to prepare, instead of the Curriculum books.
