I am currently taking the Kaplan course in Houston, TX. I love everything about it except for the verbal, I dont like how it is taught. I recently purchased the ExamKrackers verbal book to replace my kaplan verbal book. The teachers are really good for Chem, Bio, orgo, etc but I think the physics teacher tends goes a little fast (possibly b/c this is my weakest subject). I have also heard great things about TPR but their schedule didn't fit mine so I took Kaplan. They teachers are available after and outside of class if you have any problems with any subjects. Also, the online workshops and quizzes keep you on track and are very helpful. Good Luck!
