Hi all!

I am new to this forum and I need your advice. If anyone has had any experience with Kaplan or PR, or any other class pleasee pleaee share your experience.

I am leaning towards PR because the schedule fits better and I heard that Kaplan was WAY overrated.

Any info is really appreciated. Thanks

Definitely a lot of opinions about these courses have been discussed in the past. I recommend searching the archives--use the Google search at the top right of this page.

Good luck!

Princeton Review is much better than Kapan in every respect. Have you used either of their books? That will give you a good idea of which you'd like better. I thought PR's tests were light years ahead of Kaplan's.

Kaplan's cat is looked down upon in these forums compared to PR's cat. However, I do not know how the classes compare to each other.

MGMAT, Kaplan, and PR each have CATs. There are other rather unspectacular cats out there too, but I don't think they're really worth mentioning.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
