Good plan? Kaplan + Achievable

My firm suggested Kaplan so I sent with it.

I intend to complete Kaplan & cement the foundation with Achievable.

All of this is new to me.

Hey again, @Matthew.

Achievable has been around for a while - we’ve been doing FINRA training for over 5 years. We’ve demonstrated great pass rates and received a ton of positive feedback, but in the slow-moving world of finance, we’re still seen as a newer company. We’re working on expanding our corporate partnerships, but we haven’t been around nearly as long as Kaplan, so they’re often one of the most common suggestions.

I can’t speak directly to Kaplan’s materials, but I can say that we get quite a few people in the same situation as you. It’s very common for firms to provide other programs to their reps, but people still end up buying our course with their own money. Our Achievable courses have a reputation for being much easier to understand, more fun, and with a better user experience than a lot of the other options :slight_smile:

You can use just Achievable, just Kaplan, or a combination of whatever you have available!

Hello Justin. Question. I also have both Kaplan and Achievable as study materials. I’ve noticed Achievable doesn’t have Economics as a unit whereas Kaplan does. Is it not required topic or has the material been spread out within all units of Achievable?

Hi! Achievable is a comprehensive course, and we regularly review the official FINRA/NASAA outlines to ensure every testable topic is thoroughly covered. While we don’t have a standalone “Economics” unit, the relevant information is integrated throughout the course in the applicable subsections.

Every provider has its own approach, and our structure is intentionally easy to understand, well-organized, and focused on clarity, which is one of our strengths. You’ll find the Economic concepts you need woven into the lessons where they naturally fit, so you learn them in context rather than in isolation.
