Does anyone know how much it is to retake the kaplan class?

Thanks

$100 bucks... since you aren't paying the $400+ for books anymore. If your score goes down, get a refund. I had to do that! I attended every class, studied on my own, did all that was available in the library, and it went down. So make sure you keep copies of all your score reports..

Where i took kaplan, the first couse was about $1300. A second course may be taken with in 1 calendar year for the reduced price of $400. And no, you don't get a refund if your score goes down...at least they don't admit to that. anyway, it may be different elsewhere, but $100 seems too cheap for kaplan.

Believe it or not. It is satisfaction guaranteed. Not only is it on the website, but if you call, they will make the appropriate arrangements. I had no problems getting a refund.


Also, a friend of mine retook it and it only cost her $100 bucks within the same year. So who knows. It may differ from one place to another. Just call up Kaplan and find out. 1800 KapTest

kaplan's very iffy with their prices. like someone said, the course (the first time) costs 1300 bucks, but they discounted it to 900 for my school..however, they discounted it all the way down to 700 for another university in the same city as mine. from what i know, it costs 400 to repeat the course, but if they can adjust their prices as much as they do for taking the course the first time, they can certainly knock it down to 100 bucks for some people.

It is true about them being able to adjust their prices as they see fit. About 8 years ago, I worked at The Princeton Review as one of the 'directors' (really a fluff title, but that's beyond the point). If it was getting near the start of a class, and that class was not full, we would fill it with people who had called and asked for discounts for however much we could get them to pay (at least as much as the materials cost). Since we paid the teacher the same regardless of if there was 8 or 12 in their class, whatever we could get out of the last few students was better than nothing. I imagine Kaplan works the same way in some places. Most of these test prep companies are franchises, so it really depends on the philosophy of the owner of the franchise in your area. It is a similar business model airlines use to fill up planes last minute 😉 By the way I am referring to the Palo Alto, CA Princeton Review, so if anyone out there wants to try for a discount, the owner there is still the same 😉
