i was going to get these videos without pirating them but then I saw they were for $5,000 on the Kaplan website!!! (Onlineprep 9 months w/qbank)

am I looking for the right thing? I mean is the onlineprep the actual videos that some people rave about?

if you have the dough, then do it. if not, then find another way. 5k is stupid.

truly a waste of money. Take it from someone who got their score back already. You DO NOT need to spend that kind of money to do well. It mostly takes hard work and frequent reflection on whats working and what isn't.

absolutely not worth it. just get the kaplan lecture series book, basically covers it all.

I dunno why Kaplan charges such a ridiculous amount. Some of their videos are great (Raymond and the microbio lady) but many of their profs are mediocre. The path guy is especially bad.

Wow are you looking at the right website? Somehow this doesn't make sense. What's included? Is this really how much it costs for the entire book series + videos? That's ridiculous.

Although I guess taking it in perspective their MCAT course was like $2k. But the MCAT teachers are nowhere near as qualified as their Step 1 instructors. still, $5k is wtf

That's the real price. I think it's really meant for IMGs who need to be taught everything from the ground up because their basic science courses are so different than the American ones.
