Hey fellow Kaplan peeps- I am doing Kaplan, but taking longer to get through it than I anticipated. So far I have done the diagnostic, Q- trainers 1-3 and the readiness test. I have watched all the question review videos but very few of the content review, none of the reading, and none of the Q-bank yet, though I will start that soon.
My QT scores for 1-3 have all been 67-68%, my Diagnostic was 75%, and my readiness was 72%. I know these are decent scores, but is it likely I'll pass if I don't get through half the Q-bank? And would you suggest finishing QT 4-7 first or going straight to the Q-bank? I think I have time to do about 150 questions a day between now and test day on 7/21 if I don't have to do a lot more videos or reading. Suggestions? Should I go for it or reschedule the test?

My Kaplan instructor said if you had to choose, do the Qbanks and remediate each question, whether you got it right or wrong. I felt like I was ready the week after I finished Kaplan. Unfortunately, I didn't get my ATT (state "lost" my application) until a month and a half later. I passed in 77 questions. My readiness score was 72%, diagnostic was 69.7% and I averaged 67% on the Qbanks.
Good luck on your exam next week :)
Thanks! Congrats on passing. Did you do all the Q-bank questions? Or what percentage did you do?
I did all the QBank questions. When they were all done, I originally started just using the ones I got wrong to re-test. About a week before my exam, I changed it back to all questions from all categories, just to have a more random selection. I think the main thing that helped was that I remediated every question, whether I had it right or wrong.
