<p>As a new Kaplan hire, I have a few questions for you:</p>
<p>1) How satisfied were you with the class as a whole?
2) What was your original SAT score? What was your final SAT score? Did your score improve to where you wanted it to?
3) How satisfied were you with the quality of instruction?
4) What could your teacher have done to present the concepts better and encourage you to get a higher score?
5) How was the overall atmosphere of the class? What could your teacher have done to make the classroom more interesting?
6) What was the most useful part of the class?
7) If you could change one thing about your class, what would it be?</p>
<p>Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>1) On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest… I’d give it a 0.
2) According to them, in the Diagnostic test, I received 1750. After two weeks, my score was more or less the same. One month of studying myself (hardcore), and my score is now in the 2150-2300 range.
3) I’d say the way they taught was OK, not that bad… but mediocre.
4) Yeah, sure… why would I care about that? All I care about is that it didn’t work.
5) It was, in my opinion, extremely insipid and sometimes even drowsy. All they did was teach us concept we already knew from the lower grades.
6) I don’t think I remember one.
7) It’s difficult to pick just one thing… there are so many choices!</p>
<p>8) How were your classmates? Did people mostly understand the simple concepts (area of a circle, solving systems of equations) or were a lot of them completely lost? Did people ask your teacher to explain stuff that you felt was obvious?</p>
<p>No, not really. They would occasionally get confused over a certain question, but it was never because of the concept. Mostly because of the logic behind the solution.</p>
<p>If you have basic knowledge of elementary mathematics (including geometry and algebra), you already know most of the tested concepts.</p>
<p>For English, there can be no better substitute than reading.</p>
<p>I would only recommend these classes if you have no idea understanding the concepts, or if you slacked off in grades 6 thru 10.</p>
<p>1) using the same scale as uttaresh, 1
2) diagnosed with a 2040, went up in the 2200s in the last 2 practice tests, 2110 on the real SAT T_T
3) focused too much on math (more than 50% of the time)…which doesn’t make sense cuz it’s not like you’re gonna help your students master all the math they cant do in those classes
4) iunno…maybe actually spend more than half an hour on CR?
5) It was full of athletes who needed 900 on cr+math
6) allowing us to email outside of class?
7) put other people who want more than a 900 in my class
8) 900…***. no they couldn’t do simple math and “kicking ass on CR” meant they got 500</p>
<p>1) How satisfied were you with the class as a whole?
i actually loved my class. my teacher was really funny and awesome. i did it in the main center in manhattan. </p>
<p>2) What was your original SAT score? What was your final SAT score? Did your score improve to where you wanted it to?
this is sort of embarrassing. well in the PSAT of sophmore year i got a 150, in the 1st practice test at kaplan i got a 1470 and by the end i got a 1760. i am only a junior, so i satisfied with my scores. hopefully ill break 2000 by the end of the year.</p>
<p>3) How satisfied were you with the quality of instruction?
very. but sometimes, i wished the teacher would still go into a topic even though we didnt have any questions.</p>
<p>4) What could your teacher have done to present the concepts better and encourage you to get a higher score?
i think if he checked the homework, i probably actualyl start to do it</p>
<p>5) How was the overall atmosphere of the class? What could your teacher have done to make the classroom more interesting?
nothing, it was all good. he was funny, the kids were all nice and he was a good teacher</p>
<p>6) What was the most useful part of the class?
well, my writing score improved the most. im not sure if thats what youre asking…</p>
<p>7) If you could change one thing about your class, what would it be?
make it cheaper</p>
<p>8) How were your classmates? Did people mostly understand the simple concepts (area of a circle, solving systems of equations) or were a lot of them completely lost? Did people ask your teacher to explain stuff that you felt was obvious?
it was a good balance, most of the kids in my class already took the SAT but then again the reason why they are taking the class is because they didnt do so well.</p>
