Schweser remains a powerful question and answer engine.

More than half of every post, comment, and contributor still comes from Schweser. May delivered 236 posts, 390 comments, and 141 contributors, with posts and comments up 29% over April, on a 27,660-strong alumni base and 3,136 logged-in members at 31% adoption.

The Story

What this team is actually doing

Schweser is the closest thing Kaplan Community has to an established, self-sustaining online forum. It carries the volume that makes the master numbers look the way they do, and it does it consistently. Across all of 2025, Schweser's monthly posts ran in the 140-440 band and comments in the 280-890 band. May 2026 sits inside that range: 141 contributors, 236 posts, 390 comments, with posts and comments up 29% over April.

The 2026 storyline is membership growth. Alumni now total 27,660 after May's reclassification of LMS completers to alumni; the student roll sits at 23,965. Logged-in members run 3,136 a month, more than double a year ago.

Adoption is 31% in May, above the 25% community-wide goal. If we're hunting for what "achieved adoption" looks like at scale, Schweser is the existence proof. One watch item: Schweser's own comment volume has eased over the last few months, even as the rest of the community has grown to bridge the gap.

The angle
Schweser does the heavy lifting. When you remove Schweser from the master numbers, monthly comments drop by roughly half, posts by a third or more, and contributors by around 40%. That's why the team's internal goals for posts/contributors/comment-to-post ratio formally exclude Schweser, to track the rest of the network distinctly.
