Knewton is better, of course!

No, but seriously, we give students:

-5 CATs designed by the original designers of the real GMAT algorithm
-36 hours of class time.
-Adaptive technology that tells you exactly what you need to work on.
-50pt Money-Back Guarantee.

All for only $690.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Great. I travel a lot because of the type of work that I do. What happen if a miss a class? Is there any replacement? Can I take more than one time the entire course?
Thank u

Yep. You can watch any of the classes on demand any time you like. And you can watch classes as often as you like.

Thanks for the note.

Sorry not totally sure what you're hinting at. I'd be happy to help, just not sure what you're saying.

Best,
Josh

Hi alfredo,

Mind if I chime in?

I, naturally, vote Kaplan (I wouldn't work here if I didn't believe it!). And here's why:

-9 CATs, fully adaptive.
-Smart Reports, breaking down your performance on those CATs by content area and dynamically suggesting additional workshops and practice
-Kaplan teachers, trained through a program so selective only 1 out of 6 are accepted
-The Higher Score Guarantee, which has three components: Readiness, Satisfaction, and Money-Back. The first part is especially valuable; unlike guarantees from most other test-prep companies, Kaplan's HSG benefits you even if you decide to delay taking the actual GMAT. There is no need to mar your record with a poor score just to have a chance to try again!
-Kaplan centers across the US, allowing you to make up missed sessions anywhere and anytime
-Lessons On Demand, videos of expert Kaplan teachers covering all of our course material--available both as make-up lessons and as review.

Finally, I'm also a little puzzled, since I've never heard rumors about refusing to answer OG questions (Josh, does Knewton have a question-source policy for online posts like MGMAT does? Could alfredo be referring to that?) but I CAN tell you that the Kaplan course includes a copy of the OG12, and the official guide questions are built into the lesson so you know throughout that Kaplan strategies work on real GMAT problems.
