First post here.
I thought I would share my experience with Kaplan Classroom Prep. so that all of you can make and informed decision on whether it's for you.
Background: I took the GMAT in Feb. after preparing for 2 weeks using the PR onlne service. I am not sure if it was worth it being that I did not give it a fair shake but either way I underestimated the GMAT. I got a 470. After recieving this score I decided I needed to take test seriously and signed on for the Kaplan Classroom Prep Course.
Present Day: First of all the course is incredibly expesinsive! 1250!!! I figured it was worth it as I was expecting a 750. I know. I expected an awful damn lot.
The class was prettty cool and the instructor a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. The only complaint I have is that there is entirely to much to learn in a two hour session that lasts about 4 weeks. There is no way humanly possible to absorb all the material you're given. Ahh! This leads me to their gimick. If you are unsatisfied with the your score you can take the class again for $200. It seems to me that you would almost have to. If you want to take full advantage of the course that is. There is to much material and very little time to get your homework assignments done between class. In short if you truly want to get your moneys worth expect to spend $1450. There was no way in hell I was palnning to do this!
Test Day: I took the GMAT Jul. 14th after just taking the course and not paying the extra $200 for the second go around. I scored a whopping..........500!
I am lost and do not know what to do at this point. I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Summary: In short folks it's worth it if you know what the heck your getting into and accept the fact that you will need to do the course twice. So plan for 8 weeks rather than 4 weeks. Which they should have made more clear up front instead of mentioning it as a side point. I hope this helps someone. I am open for any questions or suggestions.

I actually took Kaplan two years ago and didn't think it was very good. Now that I'm retaking the GMAT - I took PR. It is an 8 week class and I found it to be extremely helpful and have been scoring in the 650 - 700 range.
I know $1200 is a lot of money to take another class, but it pales in comparison to the $100,000 you'll pay for b-school.
