Will begin studying for the CFP in a month or so using the Dalton review. Should I fork out the extra $1,000 or so for the guaranteed to pass feature? Any reviews on the Dalton program?

I did Dalton for my course work and found it easy. I didn’t study properly when I took the CFP exam in 2014 and failed. Would love to hear everyone else’s thought on this question as well

Yes! Dalton was hard but if you take the practice questions and put in the time, you should do well. But the secret is, you will need to be passing the quizzes before you sit for the exam. I have seen a few other friends of mine whom schedule for date to take the exam before they were actually passing the practice test. I took the guaranteed to pass program and I only needed to take it once after the Dalton review.

Great. Thanks, guys.

I did Dalton and review in ATL. Two weeks later I did a review in Tampa with Ken Zahn... night and day, Dalton review was terrible compared to Ken Zahn. Highly recommend taking his review. From start to finish I used Dalton and did 2 reviews, then passed, all in 7 months.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
