Should I buy Kaplan 800

by RP » Tue Apr 10, 2007 2:31 pm

Hi,
I am new to this forum. Since I took Kaplan course, I have access to Kaplan Online resources and there 8 CAT's. Do you recommend buying Kaplan 800 book as well. What are the advantages. Also besides GMAT perp exams from MBA.com what other CAT exams do you recommend that reflect closely to real GMAT score.

Thanks,
RP

Hi RP:

Check out the review for Kaplan 800 on the GMAT Resource Wiki: https://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/

I really liked this book--it has some great strategy for folks who intend to score in the 700+ range, but unfortunately doesn't provide much practice problems.

Nice supplement to OG.

From what I understand, Kaplan course materials overlap with the ones they sell in bookstores, so it probably wouldn't be worth it to buy more Kaplan tests. Get the GMATPrep and Princeton Review tests instead.

"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."
