what's going on guys I'm back from another video in this video is special
to me and she's special to all my sh t followers st viewers because this is
about a jugnu alright this is a juggernaut of a company known as kaplan
which is known for its various test preps various test prep courses and one Kaplan sat prep
of his main ones is a SCT now Kaplan SAT share a special connection since captain
was the first institution that really gave adequate practice for the SAT but
since then it's become in my opinion out dating and you guys as SAT test takersKaplan sat prep
should not be going to Kaplan for SD practice and let me tell you why in this
video I'm gonna be looking at my notes for a good amount because I've done a
good amount of research on why captain is not the best Institute to go to for
SAT practice so if you guys sKaplan sat prepee me looking over here is that's why so
Kaplan has made SAT books that it offers its students and pushes for students to
look at and participate the exercises test that they give you and to be honest
these textbooks are not ones you want to use okay and this one blog said it best
and this blog made by Alan Chang who has extreme presidentials like you can
really trust his word and he said it best he said after serious about the SAT
prep and watch improve your SAT score by over 150 points this is not the book for
you and that's because the Kaplan books for his SAT prep does not cover tricks
in depth okay it covers a bit of this topic a bit
of this topic but doesn't go and tell you all the tricks our associate with
that topic in depth like a book such as the college math Panda book does or
maybe even the black book so don't use the Kaplan SAT books guys they're there
the cost of good amount and there's no purpose that using them so all in all
the Kaplan book it's just not for the Kaplan sat prep 1500 score because how broad it is and
because of how little it covers topics in death it would be good if you have
enough you have a thousand on SAT and you want to go to an 1100 or 1200 then
the cabin book maybe right but if you're if you gotta 1,300 1,200 and you're
trying to go or to a 1400 plus the book will not do you justice because to be
able to get those top scores you need to understand the in-depth tricks of each
topic the book just does not provide that now
another huge reason that you should not take Kaplan is because it's not worth
your money and what I mean by this is that Kaplan offers two courses rise on
demand it has live courses now the live courses all the courses that you really
want to take right there's a more Kaplan sat prep expensive ones they have more things
associate with them but when I talk about expensive I really mean expensive
the live courses are offered for eight hundred nine nine dollars that's an
insane amount of money okay now they do have lots of services that come with the
live course for sure but it's simply not worth it nine hundred dollars like
that's a lot of money guys we go Kaplan sat prep in-depth into exactly why it's not worth
it so Kaplan has about eleven sessions for
the live course and each session is three hours okay now if you look at the
breakdown eleven sessions you can see this is just an example a model of what
you can expect from each session in a session breakdown sessions five eight
and ten are practice SAT diagnostic tests right so while you're in the three
hour session you're just taking an SAT do you do that at home for free and cap
is basically charging you to take the SAT within this session you're paying
for eleven sessions but since three of them are esti Diagnostics you're
essentially paying for eight sessions so Kaplan sat prep you're paying over $100 per session guys
that's more than the average SAT tutor and the average destitute such as myself
we can give you direct info give you all the information you need all the tricks
you need all the tips you need look at my entire channel it's all free content
you don't need to spend a hundred dollars plus on each session for a
institution such as Kaplan now another big reason about why the Kaplan session
breakdown slashes live courses is not effective because three hours per
session there's a lot of time right and Kaplan sat prep for most people your brain needs time to
process newly learn information and your brain can't be firing and all cinder
cylinders when you're using it for three hours straight and if it does if you
have a brain that can do that afterwards Kaplan sat prep you're mentally drained you don't have
enough juice left in your brain to retain the information you just learn
the way Kaplan has the sessions that aren't packed diagnostic tests which are
three of eleven sessions those sessions the the tutor or whoever they're
basically giving information you now we may do some practices to
reinforce the information but you're doing it for three hours men they're
gonna be tired let's be real you're Kaplan sat prep gonna be tired and my myself whoo whoo
you guys may consider a little more smarter or SAT smarter right I can't
even do that personally I can only study for two hours max right and that too but
on my phone Midway and taking a break maybe watch some YouTube videos on the
side you know watching this amazing YouTube in an RV business that's what I
would do right so being in a session sitting in a chair for three hours and
it's learning learning learning that's extremely hard
so she says it's the same stuff too so these three hour sessions just consist
really of you gaining information poured onto you and afterwards you're like whoa
Kaplan sat prepI'm so tired I can't remember what I just learned so that's really a waste so
you you're basically throwing out her daughters down the drain and you may
retain some information which is obviously good but do you really want to
pay $900 and take that bet or do you want just watch like youtubers or go
online use Khan Academy god I had used zero institutional practice for Maya
1540 okay I use all Konica that's it all right so you don't need institutions you
don't need paying $900 for these for this stuff now let's go into more about
each session right session one it's good right a lot of time is taking
still but it's giving information and it's a nice break down how you the tools
and all that stuff session - that's reasonable right I do the same I want to
make sure I know where my clients are at for my students are at and SAT smarts or
at sea level session 3 captain strategies okay captain strategies what
are those consisting of there's tricks right just uh hey eliminate three of the
answer choices pick the last one but I try to get it down to a noises if you're
unsure and it's 50/50 guess maybe pick B right I can do that for free guys it's
all over my youtube channel
I guess that's not something I ever paid for session five eight ten like I said
full you know so you're really spending a lot of money for these sessions and
you just don't want to do that there's some more other viable ways to learn ICT
information like its Khan Academy are free now they actually teach you and
then you have control over when to learn because Kaplan what they do is their Kaplan sat prep
homework man their homework is like a classroom and that brings it to my next
a con of captain they give homework that can take up to
three hours so your average SAT day your average SAT learning day can possibly be
six hours you know three hours in the session right your brain is fried then
you have possibly three hours of homework so you're spending six hours
learning about the SAT now think about it be realistic how much how many of
those six hours will you actually be learning about the SAT right how many
those six hours will you actually be able to process and retain that Kaplan sat prep
information that you just learned I'll say maybe to four max because when that
homework kisame you're tired right you just came off the session you're about
to do homework at night you're tired learning about the SAT just don't want
to do it you wanna give up that's not the master you want to have when you are
practicing for the SAT so you need to give yourself ample time to recover
retain information process what you just learned and then start studying again
and capping the way they have their program set up it just does not allow
you to do that now that the video has come to a conclusion I hope you guys
truly understand why you should not be taking Kaplan and why should not
register in Kaplan SOT courses the lack course toward an on-demand courses
because they just not worked it right the too expensive this is like another
classroom with all the homework and a three hours per session and their books
that they provide just aren't worth day either so all in all Kaplan is no first
name right it's been used at the beginning so like it's a big juggernaut
but essentially it's kind of a waste and you really don't want to be using an Kaplan sat prep
institution is just using your resources and not
giving a bang for your buck right just go on YouTube watch my channel a lot
other people's channels even and you learn to sing information or I use Khan
Academy and you be set so thank guys for watching please comment down below what
you guys think if you guys thought what I said was right if you guys have any
comments concerns I'll try to respond to as many comments as I can thank you guys
for watching Kaplan sat prep peace
you
