Pros: Good material to train your mind for pattern recognition Cons: Will not work if you don't study the material
I've taken more than my share of standardized test. Starting with the PSAT's in high school all the way to medical board licensing exams, I have probably taken at least a dozen standardized tests in one form or another. I've used Kaplan test prep...
Pros: good material, helpful instructors Cons: none i can think of
The only reason I took the Kaplan course was because they offered it in our school and the district paid for the cost, so I was more than eager to at least try and see if this would help at all. The class was taught by Kaplan instructors so it was like...
Pros: gives confidence needed to do well Cons: does cost money, a lot of time
When the those big three letters came up my Junior year of high school I was almost hoping they would some how go away. Facing my fears of the SAT, my mother enrolled me in an SAT course to help my chances. My sister had previously taken the course,...
Pros: The books they give are okay to use for future testing Cons: Everything else
My Parent's Way
My title is a little rude, but I was one of those students. I was pushed by my PARENTS to take this class. I defiantly told them that I wouldn't learn anything from the class, but they signed me up anyway.

Pros: Raises you score, nice testing centers, practice tests Cons: monotonous, repetitive
When I first took the SAT I was dismayed with my original (somewhere in the 1000s) score, especially in terms of math. Later it was found that I had a math learning disability, but I didn't know it at the time. So my mother signed me up for Kaplan, and...
Pros: Can produce a lot of change, Makes students work, Review of fundamentals Cons: Doesn't work for everyone, Might be too basic for advanced students
Kaplan proposes that it can raise student's scores. It did not help me but I don't think it is a bad idea. For some people it may work better than others.
I started out with about a 1200 on the SAT. I worked on my own a little bit until...
Pros: met new people Cons: expensive, incompetent teachers

Kaplan is nothing different from using a book by yourself. You give them around $800 and all they do for that is give you books and review. It just like paying for someone to chaperone your studying and motivate you. I could...
Pros: Small class, good instructors Cons: Lot of money...
Personally, I knew that my SAT scores were not impressive. I had to improve fast with less than a year left for the last SAT test to take. Although Kaplan has an advantage such as a small class and a thorough review of the practice SAT test they give...
Pros: time-controlled (like the real thing) practice tests Cons: expensive; waste of time
Having just graduated from a very competitive high school, I can understand that students want to get the highest score that they can on the SATs. But a course like Kaplan's is not going to help.
Pros: great techniques, stratigies, practice Cons: price
The kaplan preperation SAT course is the way to go to drastically improve your test scores. I can tell you first hand that my test scores increased 150 points from when i took the SATS before hand. What makes Kaplan special? Well, my teacher was...
Pros: Good strategy, instructors, materials Cons: A bit pricey, time consuming
In the sophomore year of high school, the most dreaded three letters in a student's life came about, the SAT. I quickly enrolled myself into the Kaplan 12 week course. I must say the instructors, materials, and strategy were top notch, and really...
Pros: The best SAT course around Cons: Is it too expensive for you
