Med School Students Choose Kaplan: This is one of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between September 15–26, 2021, on behalf of Kaplan that found nearly half of all medical school students report they used a Kaplan product or service during their academic career. For this survey, a sample of 385 adults age 21–35, currently in medical school from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii, was interviewed online in English. The sample includes 185 students who used Kaplan study materials when preparing for the MCAT®.
*These are the findings of a study Kaplan conducted between June and October 2025. In this study, 49 Kaplan students who attended a non-US medical school, took the USMLE Step 1 exam, and used more practice questions reported higher USMLE Step 1 pass rates. Across engagement levels, students who answer 1,000+ practice questions pass at approximately 79% (N=19); students who
answer 1,200+ pass at 82% (N=17); and students at the highest engagement level (1,800+ questions) pass at 90% (N=10). These engagement tiers are cumulative and overlap: students who answered more questions are also counted in the lower tiers, so the same individuals appear in more than one figure.
