Kaplan SchweserReviews of schweser.com

The Schweser notes are great and the QBank questions are great for study. The new online portal is nice as well, except for one major change. Why was the study calendar tool removed from the portal? For Level I, I stuck to the study calendar very closely. Being able to schedule out what needed to be accomplished each day leading up to the exam was a great way to break up studying and plan for trips/breaks weeks in advance. The new function that only lists tasks by week is difficult to break up into what needs to be accomplished each day. It is significantly more difficult to manage study time without the calendar view. I don’t know why it was removed, but I would seriously consider using another study provider if the study calendar tool is not brought back. Also, I am curious why my Secret Sauce book was shipped separately from the rest of my books. I have still not received it.

The instruction was not bad as I kept hearing CFA Level III was different, but the instruction seemed the same as prior levels. Also, it would be nice if you were to include the volume of practice questions if you attended Windsor Week.

Apologies for the criticism. While the material and instructors have been relatively great, it is frustrating how many typos there are in the text. The errata is helpful, but if you don’t know to look you’ll never see it. As far as the video lectures, a lot of the attached slides don’t even follow or agree with the videos. I’m not even sure how these oversights can happen. The errata doesn’t even mention anything wrong on the review videos which is shocking. The notes as well as the video reviews are what I paid such a large amount of money for and to see that there are blatant mistakes is disappointing. The mishaps above never happened at levels 1 or 2 at anything near this frustrating frequency.
