Just the other day, I was teaching the first class in an intensive testprep course, and one of my new students asked, "How manyadditional points can I expect after taking this course?" This is a common question, but it's not so easy to answer. We expect that ALL students who take our courses will improve their scores, but by how much depends on the individual. While of course some people have more ability than others, far more important is the effort made not only to understand the Kaplan methods, but to internalize their use every time a test question is answered. At Kaplan, we provide you with the tools you need to significantly improve your scores, but you have to use them!
One point to remember is that all standardized tests are designed to make guessing difficult, and are loaded with traps to attract you to the wrong answers. The test designers know how most people think when taking tests, so they target this behavior. At Kaplan, our methods are designed to avoid these pitfalls, so they often seem unnatural and hard to use at first because they require a new way of thinking. Without a fair amount of practice, many people will revert to their old habits and forget everything they've learned when it comes time to take the test.
Therefore, when you take a Kaplan course, remember that class time is only the first step. You'll also have to use the study resources we provide online, in our texts, and at the Kaplan Center. Do so until the methods feel natural, and until you can use them every time without thinking too much about them. The sooner you get started, the more time you'll have to prepare.
Everything you need to raise your score significantly is here, waiting foryou.
Let's get started!
