*LSAT Sample Class with instructor Bob Verini

teacher development. He has been contributing to Kaplan's LSAT program for over
28 years. Bob also created Kaplan's exclusive explanations of LSAT questions,

1987 Jeopardy Tournament of Champions winner, and participant and cash prize
winner in several subsequent invitational tournaments. Outside of Kaplan, he is

Daily Variety in Los Angeles.

*MCAT Sample Class with instructor Matt Fidler
Matt is the Director of Pre-Health programs for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions
and is responsible for curriculum development of Kaplan's MCAT course. His team
was the first to work with the AAMC to provide all real test content to Kaplan
MCAT students. They also were the first to digitize every piece of content,
giving Kaplan the ability to pinpoint each student's individual strengths and
weaknesses. One piece of advice Matt frequently gives pre-meds is to register
as early as possible for the exam so you can spend more time reviewing content
and practicing critical thinking and less time managing test logistics.

*GRE Sample Class with instructor Priya Dasgupta
Priya graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in electrical
engineering. A former Kaplan SAT student herself, Priya has been teaching the
GRE since 2003, and recently joined the National team as the GRE Program
Manager. As a teacher and tutor, Priya loves showing her students how to reach
their goals as her own Kaplan teacher did for her. In her spare time, Priya
volunteers for non-profits such as Engineers Without Borders and Asha for
Education, helping students around the world use education to improve their
lives.

*GMAT Sample Class with instructor Matthew Sullivan
Matthew is the Associate Director for Academics at the Boston Kaplan Center. He
began teaching the GMAT for Kaplan in 2003 and also teaches the GRE and LSAT.
Matthew completed his undergraduate work at Boston University and has extensive
experience in the consulting, financial services, and telecomm industries.
Outside of Kaplan, Matthew is an avid sailor and a pilot.
