Our research found that Kaplan offers the best premium course for users seeking high-quality instruction and proprietary tools to help them pass the Series 63 exam.
Kaplan was founded in 1938 and is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While Kaplan offers basic and medium-tiered course packages, our research found that it has the best premium course offerings for those seeking to take the Series 63 exam.
Users can choose between two cost-effective course packages: the On-demand course package, which costs $129, and the Live Online course package, which costs $159. Both courses offer the same curriculum, such as the exam manual, practice tests, study plan, and proprietary tools. One is the SecuritiesPro QBank, a helpful resource that allows users to practice exam-like questions on various topics. The other tool is the InstructorLink, where users can message an instructor for extra help.
Most, if not all, training courses have some sort of tracking technology. Kaplan’s performance tracker is a sophisticated tool that can help users showcase how well they understand the course material and what they need to improve on. However, while Kaplan offers premium service, there are some drawbacks that users should consider before enrolling in the exam prep course.
Kaplan does not offer a trial or free course material before enrollment, which could present an issue for some prospective enrollees. Also, it does not offer a pass guarantee. If a user takes the time to study the material and fails the real exam, there’s no policy for getting your money back. Further, Kaplan’s premium courses are only available for up to five months. Users needing more time can extend the course for another five months for a fee of $49. Moreover, the live courses are only available on specific days, which is reasonable to expect. Just remember, if you decide to choose the Live Online package, be sure you are available on the days live courses are offered.
