I can't recommend Manhattan Prep enough. The curriculum, instruction, online tools, and all other means of instruction and support they provide is top notch. It prepares you very well for the GMAT and the entire organization is highly professional. Would give more stars if I could!

Logan Thompson (connected through Manhattan Prep) is a phenomenal tutor. He recognizes that mastering the GMAT takes more than simply mastering concepts. There is also an extremely important psychological component. I feel that may tutors can effectively teach strategy and concepts; Logan is no exception in that regard. He clearly articulated difficult concepts and ensured I was able to skillfully deploy important test strategies. However, Logan brings another dimension. He identified my challenge with keeping pace and coached me through myriad techniques to conquer that exceedingly difficult aspect of the test. Ultimately, Logan helped me to improve my score by 120 points, exceeding my target score by 20 points. I owe much of my success to him.

I enrolled in Manhattan Prep's online course. They provided a structured guide for study and insight for test-taking strategy that allowed me to improve my score by over 100 points. I strongly encourage anyone looking to take the GMAT to enroll in this course in order to achieve the most competitive score possible.

Manhattan Prep's books were excellent, the LSAT Interact videos were enormously helpful (shoutout to Noah), and the classroom experience was unparalleled. I had never done a test prep class before--I took the ACT and SAT having only studied on my own--and so I was pretty skeptical, especially given the price. Almost immediately, though, I could see the immense value of the course. My instructor, Matt Maxwell, was phenomenal not only as a teacher of the test but as a mentor and counselor through studying, life, and the law school application process. We keep in touch and I expect I'll reach out to him for advice on many important decisions in the future.

My in-person class great intro to the world of GMAT. My instructor, Ryan, was amazing and continues to be a great source of knowledge and support, even after I've finished my course. I also really benefitted from the conversations stimulated between students during each class - learning from each other proved to be just as helpful as learning on my own with my books! Highly recommend!
Kevin
great instructors! and i really appreciate the fact that there is support after the course. My instructor has continued to stay in communications with me and motivate me. This is essential because most students in my opinion are not ready by the time the course ends so they need to continue studying and having the instructor communicate via email really helps!

I learned something new every time I picked up a Manhattan Prep book!

I started with a 3-month class-style course with Manhattan prep. It was an online course with 4 hours of class per week. This was great as I managed to cover all the required topics and brush up on my skills. After completing this course I did the GMAT and scored a 640 (Q52, V76). Although my basics were in place, I definitely wasn't happy with this score and knew I could do better! MPrep offered a free post course assessment (PCA) (which I did prior to the test) and then they also offered a free post exam assessment (PEA). This PEA helped me tremendously by pointing out specific areas I should focus on to bring my score up to a 700. I went on to take 3 hours of private tutoring with the same instructor who did the PEA. I then did the test again 5 months after the first test and this time my score went up by 100 points to a 740! The PEA and private tutoring were gold! I would seriously recommend them in order to be able to put all your energy and effort towards specific topics which can actually help bring your score up instead of wasting time on trying to get the 'high-hanging fruit'. My 3-month course instructors were Eric Garthoffner and Pedro Ledesma who were very thorough and kept me committed to a regular study schedule. My PEA and pvt tutoring instructor was Chris Gentry - he was phenomenal and continued to stay in touch much after my sessions ended and right up till the day I gave the second test with constant motivation and prep tips. I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep as a resource to prepare for one's GMAT. Good Luck! -Komal 740 (Q77, V96)
