Kaplan Test Prep
Av. Rating: 3.8 (6 reviews)Kaplan is a kingpin in the test prep industry and has been around for over 80 years and with operations in 25 countries. They’ve earned a respected name, as they now have partnerships and relationships with more than 1,000 school districts, colleges, and universities. Not only in the field of test prep, Kaplan also has its fingers in higher education programs, professional training and certifications, and student support services.
Kaplan offers tutoring, live in-person and online, and on-demand courses for more than 90 standardized tests, including the PSAT, ACT, SAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, and NCLEX. For high school students planning on taking the PSAT and the ACT/SAT, they now offer an “Unlimited Prep” option where the student can take all the classes they want for all 3 tests up to the December of their senior year. This is an interesting direction to take, as few courses package all 3 of these categories together.

I have used Kaplan test prep a few years ago when I was sitting for NCLEX-PN exam. They offered a guarantee if I didn't pass which was appealing at the time. I passed with 85 questions. I felt very prepared to take the test. I am using it now for NCLEX-RN exam and so far doing well and hitting bench marks of >60. I also have the Kaplan blue book to help me study. I am only reviewing the medications in Kaplan book to cover my medication study plan. My nursing school uses Kaplan and the cost was included in our tuition. I am hoping to take the exam in a month or so and feel confident that Kaplan has everything I need to be successful.

I found the course to be less than expected for the price. (Around $1500.)
My biggest gripe: the instructors seemed to just be making videos with web cams. Free resources have better production value.

The Q bank questions were a great resource. If you are looking for a program mostly geared toward answering questions and reading rationales, this is definitely the program for you. Although I wish Kaplan would have a more solid content review.

After a struggling mcat test taker, I realized I needed the guidance and accountability of a course. I thought kaplan was well structured, gave excellent practice questions and resources, and I had a very accessible and knowledgeable instructor. I liked the out-of-class assignments, in addition to the in-class lectures.

I did the ACT Rapid Review and it was hard to access it after you paid for it since the website is REALLY outdated but other than that it was very helpful along with the Chad Cargill workshop and the Chad Cargill book. ACT books aren't that helpful since they don't provide feedback based on your performance and how well you respond to the questions.

I noticed there were mistakes on the textbooks, I talked to some professors at my university and they confirmed that the physics section indeed had mistakes. It oversimplifies the material leaving out many details. Not enough to score a 515+ score.
