Introducing Kaplan All Access License
by Kim Canning, Executive Director, Kaplan Partner Solutions | January 25, 2022
Kaplan has created a new model to provide an All Access License at a university-wide level to all of our industry leading test prep, licensure and credentialing programs. Kaplan can support your students and school with an All Access License which dramatically reduces cost and increases access.
The cost of test prep and credentials is yet another "cost of college" that students and families must find resources to address that can add up significantly―especially when faced with paying retail prices. Supporting students’ performance around standardized tests is important to attaining graduate and professional school placement, increasing graduation rates, and improving career readiness; however, these tests can also be an oversized obstacle on the path to graduate and professional school for underrepresented students. Working to close this gap for students, particularly in the pre-health space, can keep students on the path to matriculation
Examining the Strategic Value Of an All Access License
Increased Access for Disadvantaged Students
- Comprehensive prep is key to increasing access for disadvantaged students to better prepare for their exam than just access to ‘piecemeal prep’
- Incorporating prep into students’ experience helps to even the playing field
- Working to close this gap for students, particularly in the pre-health space, can keep students on the path to matriculation.
Improved Matriculation to Graduate and Professional School
- Comprehensive test prep helps the school put more focus on standardized tests, which are a key piece of the application process, that most students don’t receive guidance around from schools
- Matriculation rates to law, medical, business and graduate school can be an important metric potential students consider; providing as much guidance and support during that process will continue to improve those numbers
- Reporting on quizzes, section tests and full length tests can provide insight for the school on how proficient cohorts of students are preparing across various types of content and knowledge.
Improved Licensure Pass Rates
- Standardized test prep can provide the schools more insight into student readiness and performance on the tests
- Professors can incorporate some of these test prep resources into their courses to help students prepare along the way instead of leaving prep and test anxiety to the last minute
- Reporting on quizzes, section tests and full length tests can provide insight for the school on how proficient cohorts of students are preparing across various types of content and knowledge.
Improved Employability
- Having access to credentials helps students become more well-rounded in their overall education skill set
- Credentials increase the value of a degree, both perceived and tangible, and position graduates more effectively within the job market
- Credentials help students have a shared understanding of careers with employers and increase their opportunities for higher wages.
