Kaplan SchweserReviews of schweser.com

I bought package for FRM and it was really useful. Lacks depth but good for quick preparation, if you are under time squeeze, and who isn't :-).

Recommended by many Members and Candidates, Kaplan Schweser is certainly providing excellent learning material.

I used Kaplan Schweser to prep for CFA Levels I and II and I passed each on the first try. Hard to go with anything less than 5 stars here.

I have not sat for the exam yet, but i have found the video lectures and weekly lessons highly repetitive and too high level compared to the readings and practice exams. The practice questions on the cfa institute website also seem to have a completely different focus than the q-bank. Probably explains why i walked out of the exam last year wondering if i had even studied for the right exam, or had simply walked into the wrong one.

I’m giving Kaplan Schweser 3 stars because I was disappointed in the materials I received. After using Kaplan for the Series SIE, 7, 63, 65, State Life and Health, and State Property and Casualty insurance licenses, I had grown accustomed to their style of teaching and thought I knew what to expect when I ordered the FRM study kit. I could see the Kaplan influence, but whatever input Schweser had over the format and Q-bank ruined the effect. After trying two different FRM test prep kits, and the official books from GARP, I’ll go back to Kaplan Schweser, and give them another shot, but I’m not going to be as happy as I was with the other Kaplan products. The major complaints are the need to already know the math involved, and fully understand the equations, and the study calendar and Q-bank are not as user friendly as they are on other Kaplan test prep kits. FRM requires a lot of statistics math. If you’ve never taken statistics, I recommend getting an Idiot’s Guide For Dummies book, or crash coursing it first. The Kaplan Schweser books do not explain the math, or what they symbology means in the equations. I spent hours on YouTube, and reading other books, and ruminating on the math before I now have a vague idea of what it all means. I’m still going to struggle with it, but at least now I have some idea what’s going on.

I paid for in person class and was given online access due to covid. It’s not what I paid for and there was no option to be partially refunded.

Everything was terrible. Didn’t receive half of what I paid for and no refund.
