Which one is difficult????

Hard to answer that question 'cause everyone gets a different test.

Some people from my class did minimal preparation. They walked in, took the test and passed. They stated later that their questions were incredibly easy, so I'm guessing that their questions hovered around passing level.

I was very prepared for the test. I was not going to risk not passing. So what ended up happening was that I answered so many questions correctly that I kept getting more and more difficult questions such that I found my test very, very difficult. It took about 2h10m to do 75 questions. So I spent a little less than 2 minutes per question.

Clearly my test was nowhere close to the test that my fellow students had.

Did Kaplan help? Sure, it helped me bypass the questions that hovered at passing level such that I clearly passed because I was answering upper level questions. Even if I got a string of them wrong in a row, I likely still was above passing level, so I got out in 75 questions.

Did Kaplan effectively help me answer the questions that I actually had? Nope. Because I had bypassed Kaplan's level of preparation. So I was on my own with applying my content knowledge to answer the questions I had. I had no more than 5 delegation and priority questions, which is what Kaplan focuses on.

Was Kaplan useless? Well, no. It refreshed all that content that had gotten rusty in my brain. I needed the content knowledge in order to answer the questions I had.

So yeah, it's kind of a crap shoot whether you'll have "Kaplan-like" questions or not. But Kaplan is still good review.
