Kaplan or PR?

by LMK27 » Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:05 am
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.
