Hello,
I just started my Kaplan class for the August MCAT, and despite all the bad things I've read here about Kaplan, I'm actually quite impressed. I have all the EK stuff, and while I agree EK cuts to the chase, I really am appreciating Kaplan's explanations--I feel like they dumb the material down in a good way for people like me without strong science backgrounds. I plan to use the Kaplan books as my intitial review--then go to EK for the actual studying so I know more of what's important. But I think the unlimited amount of online stuff Kaplan has is really good--such as the passage based questions for any topic you want to do.
I just wondered if anyone else out there has had positive experiences with Kaplan, because so far, I feel they've been worth the 1449 I paid. My instructor is also excellent--but I hear I got the best one in the city, just by chance.
Thanks,
Tofurkey
