CIMA Study Texts

Hi All,

I am about to begin studying towards CIMA, I have looked at the different study options and providers online and have a couple of questions if anyone can help.

How many study texts are there? I have seen CIMA offer a set plus CIMA prime study but have also seen Kaplan’s offering, at a different price. Are they the same and if not would you recommend either?

Also, if i do a course with say BPP or Furst Intuition, would the Kaplan texts be less helpful?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
