 Kaplan SAT Prep...It does the teaching and preparing of your students, providing for them a course of study and a count down to the test date. It is a fantastic program that we would not have been able to enjoy without the cooperative buying power of Homeschool Buyers Co-op!” Trish C., Co-op Member |
My daughter had tried 2 other programs before using the Kaplan. She felt this one was the clearest of any and provided a step-by-step approach to preparing her for the exam.”Gena S., Co-op Member |
We purchased the Kaplan SAT test prep in January and plan to start using it when basketball season is over. I don't know what the results will be but it seems like a very organized and easy to use test prep. Also, at Kaplan, they are very flexible with the start time and have been very helpful and professional over the phone.”Lucy Bobby, Co-op Member |
This has been very helpful for my daughter as she studies for the PSAT and SAT. She has learned many helpful tips and techniques. I'm very satisfied with the service provided.”Cara, Co-op Member |
My son completed the Kaplan SAT prep class while in 7th grade. Before turning thirteen, he achieved 2000/2400 on the SAT, including a 740 in Critical Reading and a 720 in the Math. In 8th grade, he took the Kaplan ACT prep class, and then had great success on the ACT, including 33's in both Math and Science. He has earned admission to John Hopkins CTY's SET (Study of Exceptional Talent). He also achieved the Grand level in the Johns Hopkins Talent Search in both 7th and 8th grade. I think the Kaplan courses motivated him to prepare adequately for the exams. The courses gave him excellent strategies, sufficient practice, and increased his confidence. As a parent, all I had to do was purchase the courses from HSBC. My son did the rest.”Judy L, Co-op Member |
We found Kaplan SAT prep to be very useful in preparing for the SAT. My daughter used it for 2 months prior to the test, concentrating on her weak areas, which were assessed after taking a sample SAT with Kaplan. It gave some very helpful testing tips as well as review of concepts that the student should have already learned. I highly recommend this as a study tool.”Betsie Z., Co-op Member |
My sons loves the Kaplan SAT program because it contains a ton of easy-to-follow tutorials. When my child takes a practice SAT, he gets feedback on his strengths and weaknesses. I have recommended this program to friends and am going to sign my sons up for an additional 3 months when our membership expires.”Robin Pavlo, Co-op Member |
I was very impressed by the quality of the Kaplan site for SAT prep. My 16-yr old daughter honed her Reading/Writing skills and GREATLY advanced via the Math portion. The setup is very user friendly and connects well with the student through video instruction, examples, practices, and finally sample SAT tests that have fully annotated solutions to work through if they didn't get a correct answer. This is much better than similar products we have tried. Additionally, recommendations are offered for specific training topics based on an initial survey test.
A minor negative note: There were a couple of errors in the answers. We figured these out quite readily and ignored them.”Jeff Emhof, Co-op Member |
I liked this produce because it starts with a diagnostic full length SAT exam; then customizes your child's study based on the results. If your child doesn't need to review everything, their valuable time is not wasted doing so. The student is able to work completely independent of the parent; which is sometimes necessary. They also provide a calendar to help your child pace him or herself based on the date of your upcoming exam. The student can stop in the middle of a session & pick up where they left off if needed. The price is very reasonable for such an excellent study tool.”Shelia Stewart, Co-op Member |
It has really helped my kids! They really enjoy seeing their progress and knowing where they need to improve before they go into testing. I have told others about it and others have boughtt the program for their children. I definitely will make sure all my kids have this to help them study and prepare for testing.”Denise, Co-op Member |
My older daugther used it. She sucessfully entered college and this product helped her to improve her scores and achieve this goal. I recommended it to others students.”Edna Rodriguez, Co-op Member |
I used Kaplan to study for the SAT. I was a 7th grader taking the Duke Tip SAT. We purchased 2 programs, but I found Kaplan to be far better than the other program. We would definitely purchase Kaplan again as a study aid for testing.”Gibson, Co-op Member |
I would definitely recommend the Kaplan program. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner, so that my son would have been able to complete the entire course before taking his SAT. We tried purchasing books at the bookstore and preparing on our own,but we had to read small font on thin, low quality pages, and we had to grade all our practice tests ourselves. This is very time consuming and overwhelming. When my son answered something incorrectly, we had to struggle together to try to figure out what went wrong. For a few dollars more, the Kaplan program designs a study plan based on your student's practice test and the date that he is planning to take the SAT. The topics that need more review are given more attention. Also, there is much attention given to strategies dealing with the essay. My only complaint here is that the study plan assumes that your student will spend some time studying EVERY DAY, including weekends, from the time you start the program until your SAT test date. So it is easy to fall behind if you go out of town or have a busy weekend.
I looked into local SAT prep classes, but many wanted $500-$800. Who has that kind of money available with other books, students and classes to pay for? It simply was not an option for us.
My son took the SAT one time and scored higher on it than on any of the practice SAT test that he had taken through Kaplan. He was very happy with his results and does not plan to take the SAT again, unless it is to take the SAT II Subject Tests.
I definitely plan to use the Kaplan program for my other three children, and may purchase it 8 months before my daughter takes the PSAT, as it would be excellent preparation for that test as well.”Sherry M., Co-op Member |
This product was fabulous! My son was able to work on it on his schedule instead of attending an SAT test prep class. With each Practice test he took, his score improved. I love how the program works on skills that my son was having problems with. I will definitely be using it with my two younger children when they are ready to prepare for the SAT!!”Kelly P., Co-op Member |
My son worked through the online tutorial before he took the SAT at the end of his Junior year. Quite honestly, we expected that this would just be a trial run and that he would work through the tutorial again and take the SAT again in the fall of his senior year. Instead he scored so high that we did not dare have him retake the test. I expected he would do well, but I think his score was quite a bit higher because he used the Kaplan SAT review.”Cindy Ray, Co-op Member |
I think the program is great. It was very helpful for my daughter to learn and increase her scores. It has several tests, assessments, reports and calendars. It was very user friendly and I would get this program again in the future and for my other children. I loved being able to use my points to purchase it best of all.”Jill, Co-op Member |
Very well done. We bought this for our 9th grade homeschooled student to show him what the test was about. He used the language/reading lessons as part of his course work and the essay instruction was a huge help. It let him see what is ahead and helped focus him on improving his essay organization skills. You get a full practice test at the beginning, including a scored essay. Very helpful and well organized; easy to use.”Wendy M., Co-op Member |
The Kaplan SAT prep course helped my son prepare for the SAT. His scores from the pretest to the post test improved by 130 points. Kaplan individualizes their lessons to address your child's unique learning needs.”Susan Anderson, Co-op Member |
