I had 4 months off between the end of undergrad and the start of my full-time job and decided to study for and write the GMAT during this time. Friends said I could study on my own, without a guided course, since I had so much free time, but I worried about pacing (it's easy to say "I'll do it tomorrow" when you have 3 months to study) and thought I could benefit from some structure, something to keep me on track and accountable. A friend recommended Manhattan Prep. I ended up choosing the self study option with online lectures, since I could move at my own pace, and was very happy when I received all the materials - I was getting all that I wanted: 9 weeks of lectures and a syllabus that laid out exactly what I should be doing from week to week. I didn't realize how much more than just a structured syllabus I would be getting from the course. I thought that studying content was enough - like in school - and that by doing the assigned work I would be okay. The course really taught me the intricacies of the test, like the importance of timing or that it was okay to skip questions, and gave me strategic test writing advice that I would not have gotten from any book. Using these strategies I was able to score higher on my test day than any practice test I had ever written. Manhattan Prep's course took my score from a 650 on day one, pre-study, to a 760 on test day! I have already started recommending the course to friends writing the GMAT and will continue to do so.

I had a fantastic experience, a great teacher, and the perfect class size for a mix of individual and group learning experiences. John was an amazing teacher and always willing to go above and beyond to answer questions and provide advice. Would definitely recommend this service to others!

The instructors were great! They were patient, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to make sure everyone understood the material and that we were going at a good pace. They made time after class to answer additional questions. Upon my request, the Student Services center even extended my access to the website well after what would have been the expiration date. They typically allow you 9 months of access to the site after the last day of your course. Manhattan Prep is ALL about their students and getting them ready to pass the GMAT. At the end of the class, they help you develop a strategic plan to pass your test. They're caring, accommodating, and very down to earth. I would definitely recommend any of their courses.

I was thoroughly pleased with my experience, driven primarily by Isaac's mastery of instruction. I literally have no negative comments to offer. I highly recommend Manhattan Prep to any student looking to seriously improve his or her mastery of the GMAT and learn the true skills to score higher, think faster, and analyze better.

David Mahler was the best test prep instructor I ever had. I really like how the course increases with difficulty with each class and is very clear and thorough with how and what you should be studying. I saw improvement in my score without much independent study, just by following along in class. Obviously you should study but I'm saying the instruction was that good.

My demanding work schedule made it difficult to attend in-person classes. The online course was life-changing. I learned so much from watching (and having the option to re-watch) the videos and the homework kept me on track throughout the week. My score improved 120 points from beginning to end.

The Manhattan Prep weekly in-person course was fantastic. Matt was very professional and knew all of the tips and tricks needed to really ace the test. He didn't just teach the material - he taught how to approach the questions and how to score well on the test by using patterns and tricks. They have a great set of resources that they make available to you. They teach you how to learn your weaknesses and strengths and set you up for success. I studied for a few weeks on my own after the course, but I would not have been able to do that efficiently without taking the course. Thanks you Matt and thank you Manhattan prep!

Honestly, I loved the group class that I took. There were not too many people in the class, so there was a lot of one-on-one time during practice problems. I felt like the sessions got a little crunched for time in the end. I also feel like Manhattan prep's tests were a little easier than the ETS tests (I took two), specifically the vocab for text completion and sentence equivalence. All and all I would definitely recommend Manhattan Prep to anyone and everyone looking for GRE help!
