- The everyone else category includes companies that I would rank among the lowest and or companies in which I have not evaluated their materials. Also, all of these prep providers SHOULD have products that will help you pass exams, even if their ranking is not at the top.

 

Notes

Kaplan continues to remain a top choice among people who are taking exams. There was recent poll on here which indicated that they were the favorite choice for the series 7 exam. I like Kaplan a lot but I will say that they should improve the video side of their business

 

Achievable is a rising company who has some terrific products with a platform that is different and modern. They also have a lot of questions. With that said, they probably should give customers a chance to buy their qbank separately, as their are some people who just want extra questions.

 

Pass Perfect has a lot of questions but we get a lot of complaints on Reddit and elsewhere about the math on their exams. The math on their exams tends to stress people out and sometimes shakes their confidence. They are heavily connected to institutional entities and you kind of have to use their products.

​

STC is solid and people seem to like their videos a lot. With that said, they have two issues: they just do not have that many questions compared to other prep providers. Also, from my perspective their technology needs work.

This is subjective and not an exact science.

​

In the spirit of disclosure, we have relationships with various with various prep providers but this primarily due to our view on their series 7 prep materials and material for other exams such as the SIE Exam, the series 6, 7, 63, 65, and 66 exams.
