The reason is pretty straightforward: Kaplan has served professional exam candidates successfully for over 80 years, primarily known for financial exam prep products like the Kaplan CFP\u00ae review courses.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, does Kaplan really do anything differently? No, not really. What they do, more than anything, is offer a stamp of quality on anything they make. If they think it&#8217;s good enough to sell, I can guarantee you it&#8217;s good enough to help you pass. The biggest selling point is that confidence in the Kaplan brand: if they&#8217;re doing it? It probably works.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like STC, Kaplan also offers live classes, though Kaplan has only one format at the time of writing: three 4-hour classes over the span of three consecutive days.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cI just passed the SIE yesterday using pretty much exclusively Kaplan.

However, one area where ExamFX shines is its variety of practice materials.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though ExamFX doesn&#8217;t offer the most practice exams, they do offer the most types, along with a custom exam generator. Practice exams include SpotCheck Quizzes (quick quizzes that pop up during video lectures), chapter quizzes, practice question sets, CheckPoint Exams, a Benchmark Final, and Standard Final Exams.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With no pass guarantee, no live classes, and middle-of-the-pack pricing, ExamFX isn&#8217;t my favorite option.
