The Kaplan study materials helped me prepare for my exam and were excellent. It did a fantastic job of delineating and explaining concepts.
The material had less challenging practice questions that were easier than the CFA Institute practice questions. That’s a little downside.
Otherwise everything in the Schweser QBank, even the way it was worded, seemed to me to be highly reminiscent of what I observed on the real test.
A+ Recommendation!

I have found that reading Schweser notes can help students swiftly complete the course, but there will be some things that Schweser notes won’t help you comprehend; for those topics, study the CFA curriculum books.
Second, because Schweser questions are of poor quality, make sure you complete all the examples and end-of-chapter questions from the CFA curriculum books.
As a result, I advise using both the Schweser notes and curriculum books.

If you have a prior understanding of the subjects and wish to spend less time studying, Kaplan Schweser is an excellent resource. The Schweser notes, which are about half the size of the official curriculum, are more than enough to ace the exam!
According to me, if you’re going to cover the topics for the first time, you should choose the official curriculum.

The Kaplan Schweser CFA Level 1 preparation materials are nice, but in my opinion, if there isn’t a time rush, one should stick to the CFA Institute materials. Those books go into great detail to describe every idea and almost always begin with the fundamentals. Schweser notes can be difficult because they tend to leave out some explanations. You’ll be able to pass the test with their assistance, but I’m not sure how well your concepts will be understood.
Taking up a prep course from Quintedge or Kaplan itself could result in a clearer understanding (personally, I always find videos more helpful). Try reading the institute material to learn the basics if you are new to the field and literally know nothing about finance. The content won’t let you down, and learning will be enjoyable for you. However, I do agree that the institute material is very long and can be trying on one’s patience, but it’s worth it.
Good luck! 🙂
