For me, the videos were way more helpful than the class. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the class very helpful/informative.

Did not get much help after I needed it after I took my first GMAT. Filled out a request for a 30min post exam evaluation and I never heard back (it's been a month). Haven't heard from my instructor. Sounds like once you're done with the course MP doesn't care to follow up. Poor experience.

I took the MGMAT in-person course in Spring 2015. While I found the course content to be thorough, well-delivered, and engaging, I think the course fell short on helping me develop an overall strategy to tackle the GMAT. Over the course of my GMAT study, I spoke with several MGMAT instructors (my course instructor, plus my post-course and post-exam assessment instructors) regarding strategies to improve my score. In each case, I found the MGMAT instructors' advice to be vague and not particularly actionable, and struggled to apply their advice to future practice problems and exams. I think the course would be worth it for half the price. But to be worth the full $1600, I think MGMAT needs to provide more personalized and actionable advice in addition to a good in-class experience.

I signed up for the live course to hold myself accountable to doing the work. There was WAY more work than I thought there was going to be. I wok about 50 hours per week and I would be spending at least 6+ hours trying to get it all done. I did like being able to go back and listen to the lessons, because I learned things from the mistakes that other people made. I ended up watching all of the lessons and doing all of the work, but on my on time. The writing section was great! I believe that's the reason that I got a 5

This course could be great if I was familiar with material. It is not a good course if you are new and learning all the concepts. I would recommend you to first find another online gmat course and complete the material before starting this gmat course. It will benefit you if you are familiar with material so you can only focus on solving problems and asking questions vs trying to understand the material.

I loved the online sessions and the material which are of great value. It would have been a complete prep if they provided easy to use online questions which have an explanation so that students can avoid searching online for answers (which is a waste of time). Navigator needs a lot of updates. The course is content based and interact videos are of top quality. The material I got was very high quality. Thanks guys.

My instructor was average. Other programs allow you to retake the class if you choose to retake the GMAT, for how expensive Manhattan Prep is, there are very few resources for retaking the test. I know that the online portal is available for as long as you need it, but for me, the in the class learning is so much more valuable and I was really disappointed that Manhattan Prep wouldn't let you retake any of the classes when other programs let you do so.

I signed up for the classroom session. My instructor (Chris Peckover) was amazing. Engaging, funny, energetic, and had a great attitude. After class was over, I hit a stumbling block w/ self study and then I started doing private tutoring w/ Marc Fienberg - that experience was not nearly as impressive. Having done ~2-3 months worth of PT w/ Marc weekly, my score didn't improve at all (in fact, I took a CAT while working w/ him and my score dropped 70 points from my previous CAT). Marc did not work w/ me much on Verbal (even though CR was a clear weakness and even though I asked him to). Was very "on the clock". Now, studying on my own, discovered EMPOWERgmat and GMATClub and my score has climbed up 140 points above where I left off w/ Marc. Good: I like MPREP's CATs. Chris Peckover is a great instructor. Jamie Nelson also gave me an amazing PCA. Bad: Private Tutoring experience w/ Marc. Would I recommend? Ehh...
