I did the whole thing. It's OK. And only OK if your in the 450-550 level...otherwise a complete waste of money. I started with a lot of the Kaplan material and found that it wasn't very good.

I'm wondering that myself :)

I can provide my experience thus far...

First practice test 17Q. (380 overall) I was really upset/scared, so I decieded to sign up for a kaplan course. My score went up to a 32Q. I felt completely defeated and I took a short break. Then I found the gmatclub...in just a few weeks focusing on the MATERIAL rather then TRICKS, my score improved to 40Q (640 overall). That's where I am now. But I think my approach now (material/content focused) is much better for myself and anyone else studying for the gmat. We'll see...I have my eyes set on a 48Q (700 overall). Just keep plugging away and use everyone on this site for support. Honestly, I would have given up already if it weren't for this community. Everyone is very supportive!

I think the Kaplan 800 definitely helped me out. Of course, I hadn't discovered Gmatclub when I was studying.

But the advantage with the Kaplan 800 book was that they had a lot of advanced questions and if practice is what you are looking for (and not tricks), just attempting that many advanced questions should help.

Agree. they go for tricks first instead of concept. To me solving questions from this forum keeps me busy.
