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®.

93% of IMGs Pass: Outcome is individuals’ engagement with Kaplan's Live Lectures and not actual USMLE exam scores; the USMLE Step 1 exam is pass/fail. Students completed 2 simulated exams, 9 diagnostic exams (418 items total), 1,575 Qbank questions, and 786 videos during their Kaplan exam prep program. A study conducted by Kaplan in February to March 2024 showed that students (N = 100) who completed a minimum of this work passed their internal Kaplan Step 1 exam.
