I took Dave Mahler's GMAT course - he kept the class focused, entertained, and taught us countless valuable tips. He went above and beyond to review our practice test analyses, customize review logs for us, etc. Given my work schedule, I needed some additional guidance and structure. I set up tutoring sessions with Dave. He was extremely helpful, flexible, kind, and an awesome support system. Nothing but good words to say about Dave!

I had an excellent experience with Manhattan Prep. After recently enrolling in their Advanced Course led by instructor Mark Sullivan - I was able to raise my score from a 720 to a 760. Manhattan Prep tackles test preparation from three angles - content, strategy, and mental preparedness, with incremental methods to strengthen each across the spectrum of scoring. They work with you to identify your low hanging fruit and provide actionable items to rectify those issues.

I cannot recommend enough the LSAT Manhattan Prep Course! It is intuitive, there is enough material for any type of student. Full time or part time LSAT students can decide how much of the prep material to complete before each session since it is organized by level of importance. The LSAT navigator they offer is a lifesaver pointing out not only which questions you got wrong, but also the question type, the level of difficulty and offering their forum to discuss the answer choices. If you are currently deciding which prep course to go with, go with Manhattan Prep, and if available I recommend Laura Damone as instructor, she is excellent.

I had the pleasure of being enrolled in Scott Miller's Manhattan Prep LSAT class this past August (2020). Scott is an incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and effective instructor. He made attending class for three hours on a Sunday afternoon an enjoyable and useful experience. Scott's ability to break down the difficult LSAT material and make it accessible and understandable was unmatched by previous instructors I have had for the subject. In my case, Scott played a major role in helping me bump my LSAT Scaled Score from a 160 to a 170 (a jump of approximately 19 percentile points). This was well beyond the goal score I had in mind and I couldn't be happier with Scott and his company Manhattan Prep. I would recommend Scott and Manhattan Prep to any of my friends or peers searching for an effective prep course/program. Jack Turner

I did a group class with John Cho and private tutoring sessions with Christine Defenbaugh. Both were amazing - in John's class I solidified LSAT basics and moved my score up through the 160s. Christine was a godsend - working one-on-one with her, I was able to lift my score from about a 168 to ultimately a 176 (first ever practice test score 154) on my final test date. Christine was very flexible and extremely intuitive in identifying my strengths and weaknesses. She challenged me a lot to work both harder and smarter, and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her. She is also super friendly and understanding - I recommend both tutors to anyone looking to boost an LSAT score! Worth the money!

Mark Sullivan was a fantastic instructor during my 9-week GMAT course! He was patient, thorough, and brought an upbeat energy to keep me engaged during every 3-hour Saturday class. After each class, he always devoted time to answer any outstanding questions even when they ran well past time. He was responsive over email when I had more specific questions that came up in my own time. He always made it clear what portions of the homework to prioritize given that I was juggling a full-time job while studying and didn't have time to complete all of the homework each week. I felt like he was able to provide really great tips and tricks from his first-hand knowledge from years of teaching that I would never have gotten from studying on my own. I ultimately raised my score 180 points from my first practice test to my final score and hit above my target goal!

I took the guided self-study GRE program and video chatted weekly with instructor Joseph Martin. I cannot say enough good things about Joe. Everyone seems to be in agreement that Manhattan Prep's materials are top notch. The digital content is fun and engaging, and the physical books are laid out in a logical way that makes it very easy to find the class of problems you are trying to solve. Nothing is frustrating to navigate. And when studying for a test like the GRE/GMAT, minimizing frustration is key to staying the course. Manhattan Prep makes studying "fun" (or as fun as it can be) which god knows helped me keep the course. Joe Martin, was the sun that kept on shining rays of wisdom down on me—helping to make sure that I was absorbing the most important takeaways from every problem. He has a genuine love of teaching, and excitement is a contagious thing. Just watching Joe walk-and-think-through problems taught me so much about how I could approach the test, and how I needed to be flexible in my approach. Statues will be built for Joe one day.

The GMAT course with Manhattan Prep is definitely worth the money and time, and is a direct contributor for my 700+ GMAT score success.The course gives you so many resources between interact videos, practice tests, and study materials, not to mention direct access to top notch instructors. Mark Sullivan was my instructor, and I couldn't recommend him enough. His instruction in the weekly 3 hour class was very effective, engaging, and thorough. The course provided me strategies to approach all the different kinds of problems and I felt so prepared on test day. I'm so thankful for the Manhattan Prep course and Mark's instruction.
