Topic: Kaplan 800 vc. Kaplan Advanced
PostFri Aug 07, 2009 11:14 am Reply with quote
Hello everyone,

I would like to know what was the difference between the Kaplan 800 and Kaplan Advanced books.

I am interested in buying the Kaplan 800, but I could only find the Kaplan Advanced in the bookstore.

Are they the same? Would Kaplan Advanced be as or more useful than Kaplan 800 for someone that is targetting a 750+ score?

Cheers,

I'm keen to find out its answer as well!
To me, it looks like 'Kaplan GMAT 800' is now 'Kaplan Advanced' all-new-just-name-changed, with essentially the same content, same strategies for same category of students (^made for brightests^) Well, nothing wrong in that, I personally have been recommending Kaplan GMAT 800 book since the beginning. It's one of my favourites.

Like billiejean I could not find it on Kaptest.com's online store.
But it's still available in Amazon Store. At amazon, the new copy of GMAT 800 starts from $134!! Shocked
GMAT Advanced however costs around $15. Question

If this thread doesn't belong to this place, I would've moved it to lounge area. But I believe somebody from Kaplan certainly know about it more.
I hope to get answer/response here. Smile

Hi guys,

As a classroom teacher, I don't get too many opportunities to play around with our on-the-shelf books. However, I've forwarded this message on, so you should get a response shortly!

Hi!

Sorry for the slow reply - feel free to PM me directly if you have general Kaplan questions (or PM me to remind me to check this forum!).

Yes, the Kaplan 800 book was renamed the Kaplan Advanced book for the current edition. While the newest edition has some revisions, it's the same series.
