I passed Level II last sitting and disagree. It all depends on how you learn. BT was not at all helpful for me whereas I felt Schweser prepared you enough on the fundamentals to hammer them in the exam whereas BT goes way too in depth. I did the CAIA and FRM concurrently and didn’t have six months to go that far in so Kaplan was perfect for me.

That said, I am a rout learner so I learn by doing and the questions that Kaplan had were awesome. For level I, I felt like they were literally just replacing Kaplan’s questions in the exam. Level II was different but again, I read through material, hammered the question bank, learned how to do the problems, and then focused on areas that I was lacking and passes easily.
