Hey Eddiescott,

I had the same problem. I ended up taking the classroom course. Then, I realized that I couldn't take it any longer due to conflicts with my schedule and switched over to the online version. Let me tell you, it is very very similar to what you would get in the classroom version. The online version actually has a "teacher" who goes through a lesson with you as if you were in class listening. In fact, when I was in class the first day, it was the same exact stuff that was taught online. In my opinion, you are saving money by doing the online route and not comprimising quality at all. The reason I say that is because the teacher follows the book guideline or "your lesson book". It is hard for the teacher to deviate from the lesson book because it keeps him/her on track and on time. The only advantage to the classroom is you can ask direct questions to students and to the teacher. Also, I guess, it kind of makes you come to class. But, for me, I enjoy the online version. I study at my own pace and it works for me. Of course, all this is just my opinion and anyone is free to disagree.

Well from what people have PM me about this you are right on target.

Let me ask you this. If I do the online class, do I choose when I do the lessone or must I sign on at a specified time? I am just worried that if they say, online class is thursday night, what if I have a test friday and cant really devote that evening to it???

Surely its not set up that way.... I assume that its pre-recorded too???


Thanks so much !

Kaplan class is good if u have a good teacher to give u personal help and tips. Online class I am sure is beneficial as well, as I usually do both cuz Im a freak about getting into dental school....bottom line, Kaplan can't hurt you.

If you decide to do the online version, it will be available for view a certain period of time. For instance, mine expires on February sometime. In order to maintain their "gaurantee", I have to have all the assignments finished by that date. So, to your question... you don't have to sign on at a specific time, you are free to do them at anytime as long as you do them before your online class expires. Hope this makes sense.

i took kaplan online for the mcat, and i really liked it. it was nice that some weeks i could do relatively little with it (like during exam weeks), but other weeks - when i had the time - i could study a ton for it.

i liked the fact that you could take all of the practice exams online, submitt your answers, and then get the scores right back.

i thought the lectures were very uniform in quality.

i'd definately recommended it.

the best thing about a kaplan course ( i took online version) is the material they give you. do the subjects tests, the quizzes, see what you missed, make sure it doesn't happen again and take the full lengths and review. you have it for 3 months good luck!

I was just thinking about switching to online after my first classroom course. I think that I will be able to better meet my individual needs and save travel time. As usual, it was nice to be able to read comments from other posters who have taken the course. Thanks!
