I found that it doesn't overly cater to small details, but that it can appear that way if you are still early-on in your prep. However to my surprise, Kaplan QBank actually seems disparate relative to the QBook.

Back in May, I had finished the QBook, 5th ed, and I had definitely felt at the time that Kaplan had help up to its reputation of catering to the minutiae (my review of the QBook, from a while ago: ). To that effect, I had never really been excited to do Kaplan QBank, but rather just knew it was something that I'd have to 'check off' accordingly in order to progress with my prep. Looking back at my FA now, there is quite a bit of orange in there, so quantitatively speaking, Kaplan has been fairly educational.įor a while, I had heard that Kaplan loves minutiae and that the QBank question-style is very different from that found on the real exam. I made all annotations into FA in orange ink so I know in the future exactly where they've come from. He does not just prepare you for an exam, he prepares you to be successful in your career.I just knocked out the Kaplan QBank (~100 Qs/day x ~1 month). He does not simply repeat the content from PowerPoints, he explains WHY something is the way it is. Meldrum, unlike many academically untrained instructors, does not simply tell you what he knows. This is not designed to just ‘get you by’.ĭr. Meldrum teaches the content at each Level the same way he would teach it in a University course. Meldrum has been trained in pedagogy and assessment, skills not taught in the CFA Program but are critical to have in a Professor.ĭr. and has over 20 years of relevant market experience, having invested in/traded almost every asset class (currencies, commodities, equities, fixed-income and selected alternative investments) Dr. Meldrum has taught at several higher education institutions in both Canada and the U.S.

Mark Meldrum, Ph.D, is a Prep Provider for Levels I, II and III of the CFA® Program.
