Hi all,
I am planning on taking the mcat in April and I am deciding between Kaplan online and classroom. I know I'm completely an independent learner and motivated enough to keep up, so that is why I am leaning toward the online class.

Still, I'm kind of hesitant because I haven't heard from anyone who has taken it online. Can anyone out there reassure me?

Thanks

I took it online this past summer. I really liked it because you don't have to plan your schedule around a class. You can study whenever is the best time for you -- morning, afternoon, or evening. As long as you are an independent learner and keep up on your studying/homework (there is an outline that you are to follow), you should be fine with the online course. If you have questions about anything, you are able to e-mail someone, and they will get back to you in a timely manner. Sometimes, students don't particularly like this because they like to ask a person directly instead of through e-mail. If there is a center nearby though, you can usually go ask a teacher before they start a class or after they finish up with class (I know where I am from, a teacher did this with a couple of students). You have all of the resources available to you as you would with the classroom course. You just have to be very disciplined to do the online course especially when you are taking the full-length practice exams. If you have any questions, don't hesistate to PM me. Good luck with everything.
