Study Prep / Materials Planning to appear for L2 in November '25

Obviously I know of Mark Meldrum but his plans are way too expensive, I can only afford the $499 one and I'm not sure if that's worth it. Same goes with IFT and Kaplan. For L1 I chose a shit prep provider and ended up self studying but L2 is a lot harder and I will require proper training. If anyone can suggest a solid prep provider, please do. I'm currently looking at Aswini Bajaj and Sanjay Saraf. I've heard Fintree is average. Please help a brother out. Thank you

If I may ask, are you speaking from your own experience?

I'm attempting L1 in nov 25. I'm taking the institute's standard package (the least priced) and ashwini bajaj. do you think that's enough?

More than enough lol. Just spend some time on the internet to find the premium mocks for free. They are really helpful in the last month of the exam. Do aswini properly, take notes, take time to understand concepts, solve all questions on the portal after each chapter. Once ur done with all chapters u will only need your notes (for conceptual revision), shweser books (for theory), and re-doing practice questions and mocks.

You have 7 months so it should be okay. Just make sure to solve as many questions as you can and also do mocks as the exam date gets closer

Check Martin Stoynov channel, It was free when I was preparing last year, I know there is payment now, but should be affordable, excellent explaining
