I took the Kaplan Course for Step 1, 2 and 3. It was helpful for step 1 and 2 but that was many years ago and I passed after spending almost 1 year in study for step 1 and 3 months for step 2. However, the course was not very helpful for step 3 and I felt I wasted my money($1500 for 11 days-intense review). My score was lower both times after taking Kaplan than when I studied independently on my own. In retrospect, I feel that if you use Kaplan, you should also be using other sources and texts when preparing for Step 3. Don't rely on it alone because you will decieve yourself. Now I have to go back and study again. I guess everyone's experience is different but this is how I feel. I wish you all the best.
