If the Kaplan course teaches you material in their 2012-2013 PCAT book edition, which I'm assuming, run away from the Kaplan course. I bought the book and didn't make much use of it at all. The chemistry section had stuff that didn't even show up on the official test; the bio section had a bunch of non-human biology stuff and went excessively into detail. I didn't like the book at all so I didn't use it. I used Dr. Collins instead.

However, I have no idea how good Chad's videos are because I didn't even know about them until after taking the PCAT. I still scored very well, though.
 
I used chad's videos. chad is AMAZING when it comes to gen chem and org chem. this dude knows his stuff. I made a 92 on chemistry and I had a C in gen chem 1 and B in gen chem 2 and org 1. i basically made my weakness my strength through chad!!! i spent $40 while i know people spend hundreds on kaplan for scores lower than mine.
