I just wanted to write to say that this Kaplan course was a great class experience. Jason is a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher and that made the world of a difference. I was a little hesitant in signing up for a Kaplan class because I wasn't sure how much more value it would provide in comparison to just studying and practicing by myself, but in the end I'm very happy that I signed up. I liked the way Kaplan has structured the course such that it breaks up the types of questions and the ways in which they were asked. I'm also a big fan of the online interface, the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses, and the customizable quiz bank. Kaplan has clearly put in a lot of thought and effort into designing the Advanced GMAT course.

Jason's experience with taking and teaching the GMAT makes a huge difference in teacher quality. It provides the students a sense of confidence when their teacher can provide them a clear idea of what they will see and experience on test day, and what GMAC thinks about when they are developing the questions.

Finally, the class was held in William's hall on Penn's campus and there were quite a few Penn students (senior and juniors) taking the class. As a Penn alumni myself, I think this made for a better experience. When there is a high caliber of students, it makes for a more challenging learning environment and it makes class discussions of questions more interesting.
