What is Kaplan?
Kaplan is a large test prep company. For the SAT it offers self-paced courses, live online classes and tutoring, with practice tests and printed books, and it also prepares students for the ACT, AP exams and many other tests. Its admissions help is aimed at universities in the United States. It does not cover the CEnT-S or applying to Italian universities.
What is TuttoPrep?
TuttoPrep is built for one journey: getting into an Italian university from abroad. It puts exam prep for the CEnT-S, SAT, AP and IELTS next to the application itself: a personalized checklist, enrollment timelines, guides for each university and a searchable directory. You practise, see your progress and know your next step in the same place.

Kaplan prepares you for American tests. TuttoPrep prepares you for Italy.
If you want live classes for the SAT, Kaplan is a well-known choice. But students applying to Italian universities usually need more: the CEnT-S, often an English test such as IELTS, and an application with its own steps, rules and deadlines, none of which a US-focused course covers.
TuttoPrep brings your exams and your Italian application into one place, and you can start for free before deciding what you need.
