The overall approach emphasizes being the most realistic prep available, with practice exams designed to closely mirror actual test conditions. Reach them at 1-800-KAP-TEST.
What Parents Are Saying
The limited reviews available are mixed. One reviewer found the GMAT prep teacher to be great but felt the three-week course format was not long enough to be effective for studying.
