Do I say I took Kaplan to prep for MCATs on Application?

Hey!

Been lurking for some time and had a question:

Does it look bad if I say on a Secondary Application that I used Kaplan Test Prep to help me prepare for my MCATs?

The exact question is as follows:

Please let us know, by way of a percentage*, how you prepared yourself for the MCAT examination using the following three (3) methods. Your response should add up to 100%. (1) A commercial test preparation service (Kaplan/Princeton Review, etc.); (2) A review course that was created by an undergraduate institution; (3) Self-study with books and or online resources. *Your answer should look something like: 30/30/40 = 100%

The first time I took it, it was complete self study with EK. Second time, I used the help of Kaplan. I was gonna put 33/0/67. Not too sure.

Thank you for any input! =]

It seems possible that they will use this for data collection, rather than actual selection of applicants. I think it's fine to indicate that you used the test prep.

Thank you Narmerguy!

I'd just be honest. Who knows what they are really looking for.
