How come Kaplan is selling 2013 books if the list of reading materials/topics is not published yet b

[Steve Jobs]

How?

They are taking orders but they're not published yet. They will be beginning of Feb (that's what I was told for part 2 anyways)

 

[Steve Jobs]

Is it soft copy or hard?
Of course if it's hard, then it's going to take more time for shipping. There won't be enough time to study.

 

[-MaNi-]

Hard copy, but I think delivery will be relatively quick. Within a week.

It's still not the best, but you'll have to make do I guess.

fyi, a typical rationale for hard copies is that they are harder to copy (and copyright violation is a *huge* problem). Note the totally inconvenient DRM (locklizard) used by GARP on their PDFs. In my opinion, copyright is the primary motive for hard copies

 

[Hend Abuenein]

Last year, hard copies of Kaplan products arrived first week of March.
Orders were taken from new year.
A soft copy was rolled out beginning of Feb, by reading topic, available through a flip page screen that cannot be copied (nothing like pdf files or locklizard protection), can only be viewed through a log in password.
Must have cost them. But it was the help they provided so candidates could begin studying before hard copies were sent.
