2.7) Can you tell me about Stanley Kaplan vs. Princeton Review?

Stanley Kaplan <http://www.kaplan.com> and Princeton Review
<http://www.review.com> are the two largest standardized test review
companies in the United States. Opinions differ as to which company
offers a better review course for the MCAT. Traditionally, the
Kaplan course focused more on detail and offered more review
materials, while the Princeton Review course focused more on "the
big picture" and offered more student-teacher interaction. However,
Kaplan has recently decreased its class-size, and Princeton Review
recently increased the amount and detail-level of materials offered.
Today the two courses really are more similar than they are
different. The biggest factor in determining the quality of either
course is the quality of its teacher. If you want to take a review
course, it helps to ask around locally to see which courses have a
better reputation in the local area.
