“We build futures one success story at a time” (Stanley Kaplan)
Stanley Kaplan started test preparation in 1938 in his Brooklyn home. The development of standardized testing in the 1960s and 1970s made the business boom. Today, it is called simply "Kaplan" and operates more than just testing. The business can be found on West 56th Street in Manhattan and in locations across the globe.
"We build futures one success story at a time" is its slogan, quietly proclaimed.

20 September 1981, New York Times, "Stanley Kaplan, Teacher of Testing" by Alix M. Freedman, pg. F8:
This is the Stanley Kaplan Educational Center headquarters in New York, one of the 105 Kaplan centers around the country that funnel some 50,000 students each year through a rigid program of classroom drill and tape-recorded exercises.
(...)
Stanley Kaplan, a Brooklyn-born teacher who is now 62 years old, opened his first "supplementary education" center in his Brooklyn home in 1938. Things were good, but hardly booming, until the 1960's. Then, the baby boom generation, straining capacity at the nation's colleges and universities, was confronted with more and more stringent admissions requirements. The coaching business really took off.
