This course was perfect for me because it allowed me to take the course within my schedule from the comfort of my own home but still giving me the classroom experience. The instructor and TA were extremely knowledgeable about the GMAT and were more than willing to share their knowledge (along with their humor). Everything from the moment I signed up until I ended the course has had no issues.

This course helped me focus on my weaknesses and give me a strategy to not only improve my weaknesses but to turn them into strengths. I highly recommend anyone taking the GMAT to take a prep course with Kaplan. It is more than worth your money.

I enjoyed my Kaplan experience because of the helpful, engaging, and genuinely motivating qualities of my teacher (not to mention his humour). Also, the resources offered such as exam banks, practice CATs, etc were invaluable. Would recommend.

Justin Doff did an amazing job. I was a little skeptical because the entire class was online. Justin was engaging and extremely effective.

The kaplan online format is very effective as well. There is an abundance of practice questions and review help.

The skills and knowledge learned was fundamental in increasing my score.

I took the Kaplan intensified class and in hindsight that might have been the only reason against it. Not that it is their fault. It's really mine for not stretching out my classes over a longer period of time.

Nevertheless, what the class did for me was amazing and really helpful. Little tricks here and there that get you to the result that much faster and save you time are the biggest things I got from it.

The teaching team was very helpful. They were very quick to respond and their classes were actually fun and informative.

I recommend taking a Kaplan course.

The Kaplan Online course taught me how to approach each question type and how to dissect the question down to its basic parts. As someone who had taken the GMAT, I was a little ahead of the curve than the rest of the class. But that did not matter, because the way the teaching is approached, its applies amply to any GMAT level test taker. The course is offered without a live teacher, but having a teacher and a TA there to answer questions as they occur during the Powerpoints make a world of difference.

This course is worth the money, especially with the huge Test Question Bank to create your own practice tests.

I really enjoyed this course. I was initially apprehensive about taking an "online" course, but I enrolled anyway. During the first class, I realized how interactive it was. The teacher was very knowledgable about the content as well as how to attack the GMAT. I would recommend this course to everyone!

Top B-School choice made possible by Kaplan

The teacher for this online course was excellent. She was easy to understand and she kept a steady pace without moving forward too fast. She took time to answer any questions during class and she also answered question via email outside of class time.

The materials I received for this class were key in helping me set up a study plan and cover the material I needed to cover. The online workshops, practice questions and practice tests were by far the most helpful. I was able to zero in on the problem areas I needed to work on. I really felt that by using the online material, the Kaplan course was designed to fit my own personal needs. The Kaplan pocketbook quick reference was super helpful and handy when I needed to quickly look something up.

One of the best things about Kaplan is the step by step Kaplan method to taking the GMAT. On test day I felt very prepared and confident. The ultimate practice test also helped to prepare me on what I could expect on test day.

I was skeptical at first taking the online class but I could not have been more happy with it in the end. The instructor was very knowledgeable and had an outstanding way of teaching and presenting Kaplan techniques and tips. This class was the best way I could have prepared to take the GMAT.

With the online practice tests I was able to see my improvement over the course of the class. By the end of the class my score was 200 points higher from the first test I took to the ultimate practice test score. I feel that by preparing for the GMAT with Kaplan, my score on the actual GMAT reflected my best possible score.

I credit my acceptance into my first choice business school to my GMAT score and ultimately to Kaplan.

KAPLAN Advantage - Anywhere: Fantastic Course!

I took KAPLAN's Live Online course (now called KAPLAN Adantage - Anywhere) January and February of 2010. At first, I was unsure as to whether choosing KAPLAN (over the multitude of other test preparation programs in existence) was the right decision. But that hesitance did not last long.

My professor, Nimesh Shah, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the intricacies of the program (when to expect to start seeing improvements in your score, when to schedule the exam, whether the Math Intensive option is for you, various scheduling inquiries, and the like). Despite the online setting, he was adept at modifying his teaching style to meet just about all the students' needs, whether it be answering questions regarding the content or the overall pace of the sessions. He used the course materials appropriately, was well-spoken, and clear in re-teaching us concepts we had previously learned ages ago, but conveniently pushed out of our brains.

I took the course offered twice a week - Mondays and Wednesdays - So you had to stay on top of the heavy work load. Once you start taking the practice tests, it feels like all you're doing is thinking about and working on GMAT-related problems. But don't get discouraged! The time is well worth it and you WILL start seeing improvements in your score. I recommend taking every possible required and recommended work on the syllabus and, if you have the time, create your own quizzes in the quiz bank to iron out any issues you may be having on a particular concept. The dashboard is extremely useful. Don't hesitate to use all the materials offered to you. The more you work, the better your score and the closer to your target score you will get!

Overall, KAPLAN was fantastic. I have already recommended it to my brother and will continue raving about it to those who are serious about reaching their target GMAT score. It is well worth the cost, both monetary and time, believe me.
