I think that was just one guy that was spamming the board. Probably a competitor so don't take that seriously. I have Kaplan Premier and Kaplan 800 and I think I will do great.

Yes, we did take care of that guy who was badmouthing Kaplan. I used their materials as well and had no problems with them...

All materials are probably about the same, it just depends on how much effort you put into it.

Kaplan books [ i) premiere ii) 800] are great study books you could get.

@osirus0830 which member you're talking about?

maybe I should monitor forum more closely now... :sigh: :)

Hey osirus,
I am really confused now.You have written that the 2 books by Kaplan is great.
But in another post you had written that their tests are just a scam.
Its essentially fraud. Kaplan does that to ensure their money back guarantee. It is a scam, use the Kaplan CATs for practice and to help with conditioning, but don't worry too much about the score.
Thread :- https://www.beatthegmat.com/kaplan-gmat- ... tml#229990

I wanted to ask:-Should we study from their materials but should not trust their tests??
Is it only their test course which holds an notorious opinion in the market??

I wanted to buy some test course nut am really confused now.

You had written earlier that you have ur GMAT in 18days.In such case,kindly throw some loght on this topic after you are done with ur test.
Anyways,Best of Luck for the test. :)
Hope you BEAT THE GMAT. :)
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
