I've bought a package for CFA preparation on 1st of November. Since then they didn't provide me electronic access to the materials nor printed copies (given 180 usd delivery cost!). Online support don't respond on emails. Summing up I guess that the quality of product is highly overrated.
I have a PhD in mathematics and have been lecturing at Ivy League colleges. I really feel sorry for all people reading the quantitative part of the Kaplan Schweser notes. It only Highschool probability and statistics but it is written in such a way that only from these notes it is completely incomprehensible. Hope the other parts of the notes that I do not know are better.
The four different packages allow for customised offering and service, depending on the student's need and preference. The material is comprehensive and supports constructive learning. Kaplan Schweser's weekly review classes help to easier and faster understand and absorb more complex subject by well knowledgeable professionals. Kaplan Schweser's response to individual questions most of the time is prompt and offers a solution.
It would've been good to receive the materials earlier on. But they are great.
The material seems exhaustive, yet succinct. Kaplan provides plenty of formats to study by, including breakdowns by learning objectives and extra practice questions.
Starting early is a must either way.
Dissatisfied.
I used the notes for all the CFA Levels. For Level 3, it was clear that the trainers did not understand the exam at all, especially the section on Equities and Ethics (includes books and video lectures). What a mess. I scored 85% in the Schweser Notes and got a shock when I scored 50% when I started doing the CFA Institute databank. I really had to up my game using alternative material to pass, which I did. Avoid Schweser for CFA Level 3. Too much money for insufficient training.
Easy use, help user to go deeper
I have paid for the Premium package for CFA Dec exam level 1 and the reason for me to choose this package is to benefit from the Lecture videos. but unfortunately once the exam date is over, which I have skipped for personal reasons, I could not access the lectures again.
I hope if I could access to the lecture again which it might give me a second motive to subscribe to Schweser's in the future.
Great! Helps immensely especially when short on time.
Used the schweser q bank and mock exams for CFA level 1 and passed easily on test day.
I'm very happy with Kaplan, I passed. The systematic approach to studying Kaplan laid out, clearly works. I appreciate the level of detail and care that went into the systematic plan. Its a lot of time to invest, which takes you out of your life and the lives of your loved ones, and you guys were clear if you put in the work, this'll work, your plan, and it did. So thank you! I did not want to have to repeat this and re-take myself out of life with the time spent to study. Hoping level 2 and 3 will be the same.
Love the Q-Bank, just the variables in the text are very difficult to follow, like the CFA curriculum. I feel like better variables and summarizing could be used
Very good materials. Also the online resources very good. However the price is greater than competitors.
good
Specially Lori has been great in responding to all my queries very promptly
Great product, very useful in studying for the CFA. Content was accurate and well laid out, especially in the book/ebook. The online system had the same content but I thought it was harder to navigate and I was often jumping around to keep flowing through the content. The price is a touch rich to be honest, but I'm sure they price in some firms helping their employees with learning material costs.
I would recommend.
I did not pass. Mediocre compared to difficulty of the test
