We have all been there. What courses are good? What test prep companies are good for my needs? We started off with the "product reviews" on the website. Now we are adding a feedback forum to the website. In addition, the owner of the company will available to help you.
This forum will give the new guys an opportunity to read feedback about a product collectively in one forum. Traditionally, we see many questions asked over and over about test prep recommendations. Hopefully these forums will help you guys find information easily.
We may have several test prep companies on here, but our review process is typically 1-2 months. We will get there.
If you like something about a product, tell us what you like. if you dont like something about a product, tell us what you dont like. When you offer feedback, make sure to be specific. for example, saying, "The quant in the practice tests is too difficult" is very subjective. Now, if you say, for a person who has little background in quant,the quant in the practice tests are too difficult.. this is much more useful feedback than the former.
Leanna will be available to answer questions about her products. Over time, we intend to add many more forums about specific test products.
you can read over a review that i did here:

This is copied directly from the forum titled GMAT.
With all the hype about how Kaplan is supposed to be the "apotheosis of test prep," I recently forked out the cash for their classroom based course and have mixed reactions about the effectiveness of such service. Just curious if anybody else shares the same opinion....
Sure their textbooks provide extra practice, and easy to understand explanations, but is it really worth the $1400 for just eight classes??
First of all, my Kaplan teacher did not show up for the first two classes. He simply forgot he was teaching on those nights. So we were asked to agree on a makeup lesson, which really threw a cog in the wheel for those of us who were working and/or had other committments. To add insult to injury, when the teacher finally did come, (he also happened to be a GRE and LSAT teacher) he frequently confused the subject matter that he was teaching. It was so frustrating getting responses like "let me get back to you on that", which by the way he never did. It was the details that we were interested in, and yet he just flat out froze up when confronted with questions like "Which comes first in the AWA, the Argument or Issue essay?" Or, when asked to explain the negation strategy for CR. Or even how to attack boldfaced questions.
I am not totally dissing Kaplan, but frankly they charge way too much for both a lack of specialization and limited services (no advanced PS or DS). $1400 for eight classes (the first class is a diagnostic paper test) boils down to about $180 per three hour session. One would expect to receive keen insight which can not be simply read in the answer explanations, but instead the insructor did just that- SIMPLY READ THE ANSWER EXPLANATIONS. I have paid a fraction of the price at a community college for much more difficult courses and received far better value for money.
Essentially, IMHO Kaplan is milking off it`s research from a decade or so ago, not keeping pace with recent additions and changes to the test. True, the GMAT is standardized but it is and will continue to evolve (hence the experimental questions). Their course uses age old strategies and tips that one can easily obtain by actively reading a $25 textbook. Furthermore, Kaplan seems to prepare students for the 550-650 range, obviously subpar for the course of the big leagues.
The problems in this forum are of much better quality and appropriateness, not to mention sourced from a variety of test prep materials (including Kaplan) for FREE!!
