Business School Workshop and Grad School Practice Tests
The Kaplan Business School Blueprint 2012 is a free series of events this month that is perfect for people who may be interested in business school down the line to get a head start on succeeding in this process.
The 5-day series will begin on Sunday evening, January 22, and there is an event every day through Thursday the 26th. Here's the agenda of events:
The first four events are online and can be attended from anywhere. The free registration is open at http://www.kaplanGMAT.com.
In our experience, January is a perfect time to get started early and do things right when it comes to planning important steps such as graduate education and everything that goes into a successful application. Previously, I've mentioned how the test is changing as well. The Blueprint 2012 series will cover the details of this change and help future MBAs plan when to take the test and what they will need to prepare for.
Kaplan's semi-annual Practice Test Event is right around the corner! The tests will be administered on 2/25/12 at 10 AM at the UW Law School. This is a great free opportunity for students to see how they might score on the real exam, and also to get an idea of the types of questions that will be on the real test.
Students can register at http://www.kaptest.com/practice. Further information and registration details will come prior to the event date.
