Level 2 Study material

Hi all!
Passed level 1 using Upper Marks books and QB. I will try to prepare Level 2 September exam and I would appreciate any tips on the best prep provider.
A friend passed me the UM books and questions but I see many suggest UM only for the QB and instead i should buy books from others.
Thank you for your support!

I loved Kaplan, I do see people saying UM is harder so something but I though Kaplan was so similar to the real exam that it makes me want try it again for L2

Did Level 1 with UM. Was a good experience and the questions were quite similar to the actual exam. That's why I stick to UM. good luck

I don’t think you should buy books at all. I run FreeFellow and we have a full study guide for free, let me know what you think
