Absolutely excellent experience. Daniel and Ceilidh were both excellent instructors and my skills improved dramatically under them. Hands down the best prep available.

Fantastic! Christine beside not answering my emails when I needed her was fantastic and really helped me bring my score up to where I'm hopeful about schools. Have recommended this to my friends searching for prep companies.

Helped me achieve my GMAT goal of 700+ score.

Excellent! Highly recommend!

ManhattanPrep was an incredibly helpful, skills-based course. My instructor was extremely knowledgeable and seemingly had an answer to every question that was thrown her way. I think their process for picking instructors is really admirable—they have them take the LSAT again and go through trial teaching rounds—because then the instructors are actually able to teach and teach well. This course is really homework-heavy, which is great if you have time, but hard to keep up with while simultaneously working a full time job. The homework is also really important because that’s where the majority of the learning is done. That being said, the teachers are aware that the homework is a lot and it isn’t always feasible to finish it before class—no one is penalized for not having done the homework, although you may just feel a little behind. The online student portal is also incredibly helpful! 10/10 would recommend this course.

The course I took was fantastic. The instructor, Andrew, did an incredible job of explaining complex problems in an easy to understand and repeatable way.

My instructor was a rock star. I learned so much more than just content. Shelton gave me strategies for test-taking that significantly contributed to my success and his patient, multi-approach teaching style helped me see many ways to tackle the GMAT's problems.

Marcus Hedahl was my instructor during a two-month Manhattan Prep GMAT course in Washington, DC. Marcus’s style and knowledge made the course both enjoyable and productive. He and Manhattan Prep were the major reason that I was able to move my GMAT score up to a 770 and score strongly in the Quantitative Reasoning section. First, Marcus is a master of the GMAT’s formal content. Every time someone in class would throw him a curveball – for instance, a niche question about grammar – he returned an answer. I therefore always felt that I was under the instruction of a competent instructor and had full faith in his guidance. Second, Marcus has deep knowledge of the tips and tricks that are difficult to glean from a prep book alone. He shared everything from his personal guessing strategies to timing tactics. I was more of a traditional test-taker who was struggling with the adaptive nature of the GMAT, and Marcus’s tactics made me feel confident and comfortable with selecting answers and moving on to successfully complete the test. Finally, Marcus’s style was light-hearted, fun, and energetic – so much so that I looked forward to driving an hour from work, in the middle of the week, after a busy financial services job in order to prep for the GMAT. I did make-up classes with other instructors during the two months, and I enjoyed those experiences, but Marcus was the most engaging teacher and best at helping me to power through the three-hour sessions. All in all: Manhattan Prep was pivotal to my success. And Marcus rocked. If I had to take another test in the future, I would absolutely seek him out specifically.
