Kaplan SchweserReviews of schweser.com

The explanations are clear and concise

On time delivery, materials were high quality.

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.

Kaplan provides you a great program to start your CFA journey. It helps you get organised and focus on the most important topics.

The content seems good (but given that I don't know how other competitors' materials look like, it is just my opinion so far since I've been learning a lot). But really think the SchweserNotes books can be better organized, with more lines and bullet points where the key points really can stand out. I wanted to find a channel to report this, but couldn't so writing here… So hopefully someone from Kaplan will pick it up here. I found DIFFERENT ANSWERS between the book and online for the same questions of quiz sets. This gave me a great deal of discomfort (and frustration as well) since I had to waste of my limited time to figure out what happened. Here are the two questions I found: Module 35.1, Question 3 (book answer says C, online says A) - looks like online answer A is correct. Module 35.2, Question 5 (book answer says C, online says A) - looks like online answer A is correct. Not sure how it happened, but with a big company like Kaplan, I think you guys can do better since probably everyone has high expectations towards Kaplan. My apologies if this was already noted (like somewhere in writing) to students, but I haven't seen any notice/correction. Also, wanted to raise about the professor for Financial Statement Analysis (female). She seems to have a cold or something during the almost entire recording of the lectures. She constantly sniffled in many lectures. Think perhaps she could've chosen a different time to record or just edit it better when the final editor had to work on her recordings. It is a minor thing, but wanted to mention. Again, I’m pretty happy what I’m learning from all available tools, just not enough time to go over everything ;p Cheers to everyone.

I can check my progress and it is useful.

Platform is great but…. There a few glitches, like to haves: 1) when making custom quizzes, it doesn’t always honour the question type criteria (e.g. don’t use previously answered questions). 2) it would be nice if the app had access to the lesson videos

Good instructors and delivery. Please have the instructors do more examples for CFA Level 1 students.
