Quite good but some adjustment could be made in regards to the rooms that the sessions happened in and smaller class sizes as it did at times feel like there were too many to be able to get the most out of it! It was also quite hot at times and so made it that much harder to concentrate so perhaps air conditioning would be a nice touch just so everyone is comfortable and able to make full use of the sessions!

Waste of money
The course failed to provide anything above what's available online.
There was absaloutely no scope for those with SEN or entitled to/taking extra time.
The online resources are also channeled towards those taking the standard test ONLY.
I have emailed asking for a resolution but not received a response.
Overall a HUGE waste of money, spend a fraction of the cost on medify instead for the same guidance and more usable resources.

Wasn’t a bad course as such but should have only been for a quarter of the price. I think what’s important is the book, the class is just someone going through the book with you which isn’t really necessary.

It was very vague and at least 2 hours went into breaks. Didn't learn anything that is not available on the internet or that you learn with practice.

A brilliant course
A brilliant course that was concise, intense and contained everything necessary to get a strong score in the UCAT. I increased my overall score by 700 after the weekend, and that is because of the excellent teaching provided by my course teacher, Sam Sain. She was amazing and so efficient, and even during lunch breaks she was giving advice about university and the medicine application process. I can’t recommend the course highly enough.

Honest Kaplan Review
My personal experience with Kaplan was great. The two day course helped me to kick start my studies and gave me a clear plan on what I needed to do in order to succeed. Each section was explained and practiced in depth, teaching me the most effective strategies that would maximise my score!
Another great aspect of Kaplan for me (apart from the endless practice questions!), was the online support team who I could email with any queries.
For me personally, I wish Kaplan had explained the marking of situational judgement with more clarity as this was the only section I was disappointed with on the day! Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend Kaplan.
