are they two different terms?
Kaplan blue book wrote two different definition for each.
It says molecular weight = sumo f the atomic weight in amu(p.225)
molar weight = mass of 1 mol of a compound in g/mol (p.226)

but then on page 228, it says a compound with 'molecular weight' of 264g/mol.
I don't know why it didn't say 'molar weight' of 264g/mol instead.

and if they have no different, why did kaplan blue book stated two different definitions?

I believe they are the same and I think molecular weight is generally expressed in g/mol. Personally haven't seen the term molar weight used at all
