The organization of the product was fantastic. The overall presentation with the intro video/course/and recommended practice as well as the additional in book assignments were extremely helpful. However, for 500+ dollars I was expecting a little bit more, perhaps that's just my cheapness.
The test day experience really helped me figure out what I needed to bring with me and what attitude I needed for the following week when I took my exam. I found that to be one of the most helpful things, and to take an exam is already $200 so it makes a bit of sense why the cost is so high. I benefited greatly from the in video practice and the homework helped me identify areas of weakness that I needed to practice. Overall I believe it helped me a lot and was an effective way to study for the GRE.
My scores improved from the mid-150s to the high 160s after taking this course. I found the verbal and quantitative in-class review to be helpful, in addition to the Kaplan GRE vocab app. The full-length practice tests online helped me prepare. It was nice to be able to practice writing the essays and then get feedback from real, live graders. I took advantage of my private online Kaplan Plus session after completing the in-person class and my Official Test Day Experience. I found this to be very helpful in finalizing my preparation for taking the actual test. I would recommend Kaplan to anyone looking to improve their GRE scores.
