Superb explanations! Got my exam on the 20th of May. If you guys have something for level 2 (truly hoping I pass
level 1), I'm going with you guys, better than SALT and Kaplan, those are the only other two services I've seen.
If you manage to get videos or lessons, you'll have a killer platform (hopefully videos!).”

The explanations are incredibly helpful and provide a thorough yet easily comprehensible breakdown. It surpasses
the CFA website's QBank by a long shot. It's disappointing that I discovered this site so close to my CFA exam,
with only four days remaining. I truly wish I had found it earlier.”
