Kaplan

SAT prep giant

Kaplan is a common Jewish surname of Eastern European origin, derived from a word for priest or chaplain.

In American English, Kaplan most often refers to Kaplan, Inc., a test preparation and educational services company: I'm taking a Kaplan course for the LSAT.

The company name has become nearly synonymous with standardized test prep.
