Aloha,

We are trying to set up the Kaplan PCAT test course aiming for the students to take the August PCAT.  We need to know how many students are interested, in interested we need you to be fairly sure you would take the course.  In class UH Hilo PCAT class Saturdays 9am-12noon, starting in beginning May through to the August PCAT, test date is August 22.

Kaplan has a higher score guarantee:

1. readiness - if you are not ready you can continue to study with them

2. satisfaction - you can take the course again

3. money back guarantee – you will score higher than your  diagnostic test score

For the guarantee you must attend all classes, complete required homework and tests – you can make up classes online

The cost for in class is $999.  There will  be 10 scholarships of $500 each available which students must apply for, details will follow.  This cuts the cost in half.  There is also an online course for $799 and a live online course for $999.  Please let me know if these are the options which you prefer.  I need to know by Monday if you think you are highly interested and would take the course here in Hilo, or the online course.  We need to give Kaplan the opportunity to find and train the teacher in time for the course.  If you are interested in more information please see www.kaptest.com/PCAT you can also contact Richelle Kim, Honolulu Kaplan Director Richelle.Kim@Kaplan.com with any questions that you might have about the courses offered.  Please let me know asap.
