“I couldn’t imagine getting through the CFA exam without Kaplan Schweser! After trying to go it alone with only the CFA Institute materials for the first two months of my study time, I realised I wasn’t going to get it done without Kaplan Schweser. Their materials helped provide me with more structure and purpose with my study time and prepared me extremely well for exam day.” R. Winrick
