CSTEP provides our students with access to Kaplan review courses at a reduced rate.
CSTEP partners with Kaplan to provide standardized test preparation courses for the following exams required for graduate or professional school: GRE, DAT, LSAT, MCAT, OAT, PCAT, NCLEX and FE (Fundamentals of Engineering). These prep courses support CSTEP's mission to broaden participation among students pursuing licensed professions such as medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, psychology, etc., or STEM fields. Each course includes classes, choose from online options that fit your schedule, books, online resources, practice tests and personalized study plans. Please note that Live Online Plus is not an option.
Students can apply for CSTEP Kaplan Access on a rolling basis during the academic year and summer, as Kaplan offers new courses each month. Kaplan applications should be submitted at least 4-6 weeks prior to the start of the desired prep course. CSTEP Kaplan Access covers most, but not all, costs for the Kaplan prep courses. Students pay a reduced rate of $75, and CSTEP covers the rest of the cost to provide access to the prep course. You must be an active CSTEP student who has attended multiple CSTEP events to receive the rate reduction for standardized test prep. We encourage you to apply!
“My GRE scores increased over 100 points. The CSTEP/Kaplan Scholarship was a great investment because the course showed me tricks and strategies that I would not have thought of. It also allowed me to get comfortable with the test so that when I actually took it, I knew what kind of questions to expect…”
