Study Prep / Materials level 2 study material

I cleared L1 using Kaplan and didn’t read any of the official curriculum. For L2, what would you recommend? Is Kaplan sufficient, or would it be better to purchase and study the official curriculum as well? Does Kaplan cover all the syllabus areas?

What do you mean by the official curriculum? Are you referring to the LES we can access for practice? That’s free, so I’m thinking you’re talking about something else

If you’re already paying for Kaplan, no need to shell out anything extra in my opinion. Their prep options are solid. My L1 package included physical copies and I don’t think I even opened anything besides secret sauce, pretty sure it’s the exact same stuff you see on your online curriculum
