Kaplan DAT review: the live-class option
Kaplan is the main DAT provider with scheduled live teaching. Its Live Online course has 15 live sessions of 2.5 hours, and both Live Online and On Demand include 7 full-length practice tests and a 900+ page DAT book, with extra focus on the Perceptual Ability Test. Prices are reported from about $699 for On Demand and $1,699 for Live Online, and Kaplan often runs codes.
