Hi everyone,
I'm planning to sit for CFA Level I in 2027 and am currently deciding between Kaplan Schweser Notes and AnalystPrep Study Notes as my primary study material.
I've seen positive reviews for both providers, but I'm looking for feedback from candidates who have actually used them for Level I preparation.
A few questions:
My goal is to pass on the first attempt while studying as efficiently as possible. I'm especially interested in hearing from candidates who recently took Level I or are preparing for the 2027 exam.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and recommendations!

I've seen positive reviews for both providers, but I'm looking for feedback from candidates who have actually used them for Level I preparation.
A few questions:
- Which notes are better aligned with the CFA curriculum and Learning Outcome Statements (LOS)?
- Which provider explains concepts more clearly for someone who is relatively new to finance?
- Are Schweser Notes worth the higher cost compared to AnalystPrep?
- How do the question banks compare in terms of difficulty and exam relevance?
- If you passed Level I using either provider, what did you like and dislike about it?
- Would you recommend using one provider exclusively, or combining it with CFA Institute materials?
