Kaplan FREE PRACTICE TESTS!

Interested in some form of graduate study? Kaplan is offering free practice tests!

On February 21st Kaplan will be offering a campus-wide opportunity for students to take a free practice GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, and OAT administered under simulated testing conditions at the IU Kelly School of Business.

Kaplan’s Practice Test is a terrific opportunity for prospective business, graduate, law, medical and dental students to answer a critical question, "If I took the exam today, how would I score?"

Last year, tens of thousands of Kaplan Practice Test participants assessed their test-taking skills while learning valuable strategies to help them ace the real test. Since admission to LAW, BUSINESS, GRADUATE, MEDICAL and DENTAL school is fierce, a high exam score is crucial to the admissions process.

Kaplan would like to invite your students to participate in the Kaplan Practice Test Event taking place on your campus on February 21st. To register, students may call 1-800-KAP-TEST today or visit Kaplan online at www.kaptest.com/practice.
They may also contact Keely Davenport via email at Keely.davenport@kaplan.com

Also, Kaplan would like to inform all IU students that between now and the end of January, they are offering $100 OFF for any Kaplan Graduate Course.

Higher Scores Guaranteed!! Register at 1-800-KAP-TEST or KAPTEST.com
