Kaplan Test Prep

Better than Princeton?
I have taken the MCAT once before using Princeton Review and scored poorly. Princeton was only concerned with making sure the student would not be able to finish his course so that he would not qualify to get his money back. Kaplan provides reasonable deals on their packages for what they contain. Having access to AAMC and a tutor is a huge plus. Kaplan also has a calendar which makes studying so much easier and not have to worry if you are studying efficiently. The instructors are amazing. They take pride in their teaching and are enthusiastic. They are always willing to help and always respond to your email taking account what type of student you are, instead of generic responses. However, I did not give this a 5 star review because some explanations did not make sense or I had to look at the textbook to relearn the concept to make the explanation make sense. I also noticed some typos in the questions and/or answers that appear once in a while. In the videos of modules, some of the analogies made are a little far-fetched or I did not understand the comparisons made. Having no academic advisor made it kind of hard to navigate and figure out what to do on the Kaplan Test dashboard. Overall, a great program and would recommend over Princeton.
