Chauncey was a great teacher and focused on really implementing Kaplan's strategies in his students. He was very effective and I recommend him. Kaplan's written materials are great in that they are concise and easy to follow. Kaplan focuses on the content that matters. The online content is plentiful and allows for much practice. In terms of improving my score - Kaplan's course improved my score. It forces you to study efficiently and study the content that matters on test day.

I took this course over a 5 week period, I would of extended it out if I knew it was going to be so intense. The course was great and the teacher was great as well. It gave a lot of good tip and ways to combat certain types of problems.

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.

This course was excellent. The material is well-designed and well-paced, and the teacher really knew the material and how to teach it. The course pushed me to study more than I would have on my own, and gave me the tools I needed to get through the exam. I know I wouldn't have done as well on the exam without this course.

Teacher: Jacqueline Meese
Recommended for — Verbal: Yes   Math: Yes

I was very pleased with this course as a whole. The instructor was excellent, the curriculum was well-organized, the resources were numerous and very useful, and I am sure that had I not taken the course, my score would have been significantly lower.

I was very impressed with the Kapland Method which teaches students how to approach each type of question that appears on the GMAT. This in particular prepared me for the exam and gave me a leg-up on anyone who had not taken a course.

While the material on the GMAT was quite difficult, and there was a great amount of it to cover, the Kaplan curriculum was as well-organized as possible. It began with general strategies regarding the various quantitative and verbal quesitons, and as the course proceeded and we honed our skills, it became increasingly focused on specific advanced material.

Once again, I give much of the credit to my instructor, who contained all of the necessary knowledge as well as the teaching skills to lead the class effectively every week.

Thanks Kaplan, I will certainly recommend your course to my friends!

Absolutely fabulous for math, not quite as good for verbal

Teacher: Loretta Pontillo
Recommended for — Verbal: Yes   Math: Yes

Loretta was an incredibly experienced, dynamic teacher. Her math instruction was excellent - she's a great teacher who has invented her own theorems. I attended the class primarily to study math and she was a huge help. Her verbal instruction wasn't quite as good -- she wasn't always able to articulate why an answer was wrong or write. I'm also not sure I'm qualified to judge her teaching on the verbal, as that is a section I never had trouble with on my own.

My only issue was the classroom which was run down. Robert was great, great energy, very clear, really helped making things clear and very easy to learn from. The materials are excellent.

My score increased by 50 points and I was pleased with the pace of the class and the help of my instructor. I did a lot of practice tests on their online center, which were helpful, as well as a practice test at a Pearson Center, which was great. Would highly recommend.
