I have attended two sessions now and have been very impressed at Kaplan’s standard of service and most importantly the preparation material. Before the class started, I recieved the study course book, flash cards, quick reference sheet, and GRE quick reference book. All of these are well rounded materials and more than enough to study from.

At the first class, we took a diagnostic test to create a baseline score that would be used for the higher score guarantee they offer. Hopefully, I will not need to use that guarantee. The test lasted two hours with four 30 min sections split between math and verbal. Scores were posted in our online page a couple days later.

During the second class, we met our instructor who was very nice (cute too!) and insisted we ask questions at anytime. The class was quite fast paced as we studied math techniques and tricks from the course book and solved a couple dozen problems along the way. The sessions alternate between math and verbal. Students are asked to read out loud and answer questions, so day dreaming is not an option. After the almost three hour session (yes, it runs a little overtime) my mind was quite fried, but eager to learn more.

Hopefully, eager enough to go through the hundreds of tutorials / practices via Kaptest’s online syllabus. Besides the homework done in the course book, the primary bulk is online. Supposedly, the online material is custom tailored based on your diagnostic score. Materials are marked “Recommended” or “Required” and take about 15-30 minutes each to complete.

I look forward to the next Kaplan session and so far think it has been a great investment. I’ll try and do an update later down the road.
