I used Kaplan for Level 1 in May. The question bank through Kaplan is very helpful, but make sure you also work through the CFA’s question bank as you get closer to the test date. The questions are written differently between the two ecosystems, and it’s helpful to study both. May seem obvious, but it’s something I wish I did earlier when studying.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
