Kaplan will put you to the test. The Washington Post subsidiary is perhaps best known for its test-preparation publications, which help students prepare for college and graduate school entrance exams, including the SAT, GRE, LSAT, and MCAT. Kaplan offers prep courses at some 600 locations in 30 countries. The bigger story for the company, though, is higher education, which accounts for more than half of its revenues. Kaplan University provides online undergraduate, graduate, and professional (including law) degrees in the US and abroad, primarily through Kaplan University. Kaplan also offers professional development for the financial services, real estate, IT, and other sectors.
