    BPP is designed for self study but u need to draw out main points and make a note by yourself. kaplan text is actually a study notes as if by a brillant student. so it is easy to see the main points and only tough points are given lengthy explanation. so i am comfortable with kaplan. But BPP is better if dont sleep reading a lot. when i read bpp my mind usuallly wander from east to west, lot to read. for that reason kaplan is good for me.

    I think that Bpp text is good and effective for preparation of Exams, since it is comprehensive and targeted for exams.

    In Paper P3, too much reading can sometimes be misleading. Kaplan keeps it very concise which is good for building string concepts. Kaplan is also easier for foreigners to read.

    best is Kaplan. BPP has too many irrelevant details that are usually never tested in exams. Kaplan is time saving too but may occasionally give you little information on theory concepts.
