Hi guys,
I'm a first time poster. Any insight into the online Blueprint Prep Course? Everything I've seen looks good, but the price and practicality seem almost too good to be true.
Thanks!

I'm looking into the online blueprint prep as well. I've heard that it ultimately boils down to the time you yourself put into it regardless of the course. Any thoughts?

I just finished a Blueprint course, and it's a good investment. The pace/structure/strategies are hard to replicate on your own.

Just looked at it, and it seems like a good alternative/same basic idea as testmasters. But also looks limited in location. Honestly, any course you take will come down to you doing the work by yourself. For 1200 the only other thing you can get is Kaplan, which I think is a reasonable alternative due to their written materials/online support system. However Kaplan has a lower standard for teachers. Finally, I would be skeptical of their claim to have the greatest score increases/best performance. This can't be verified to my knowledge, and Blueprint looks like it happens to be in places that probably have more intelligent students...I hardly think its fair to compare Blueprints success with a group of UCLA students and Berkeley students when Kaplan and Testmasters also work with students from Middle-of-nowhere Community college, kentucky and 2nd-tier state school, idaho.

I don't have any Blueprint classes near me, so if I choose them it will have to be their online self-prep course. But I think I would do online/self-study regardless of the company anyways due to scheduling conflicts.
From what I've heard and read, each program has it's success stories. It's up to the individual to make the most of what they're paying for.
