I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep instructor Ryan Jacobs for your studying needs! Ryan helped me study for the GMAT in just under 9 weeks, during which my score improved 130 points. Ryan helped tailor the material to my needs and gave me plenty of homework to do that helped me strengthen my weakest content areas. He was very calm and focused but also made things feel light-hearted and less intense by cracking jokes or reassuring me of his own past GMAT mistakes. Ryan was a great resource to have and I couldn't have done as well as I did on the GMAT without him! I would also recommend the Manhattan Prep GMAT books (All the Quant, All the Verbal, companion guides, etc.) as they extensively cover everything you need to know for the GMAT exam. read more

I took 5 classes with Ryan Jacobs and I highly recommend him as a tutor. My verbal was stagnating at 32 and I needed my verbal to go higher so I could break into the 700 range. Ryan offered me many tips and gave many insights as to how to improve my verbal. One of them was how to change my mindset when studying for the GMAT. The shift in mentality was what helped me improved my verbal by 6 points in the actual GMAT. read more

Been working with Manhattan Prep for a couple months now and it took a bit to get used to some of the problems but its working pretty well (with help from the tech team - very friendly). From my understanding problem exists using 2 different browsers, I use chrome but sometimes edge for battery life) anyway if you don't log out of one of the browsers you will get logged out from inactivity even if your actively taking a test in one of the browsers. Anyway, one of my problems is the lack of questions. You get about 6 practice exams and after that 6 more exams with reworked questions (many of the same prompts). After that no more, you must reset all tests and go through the same questions (not same set of questions but still duplicates). Another big issue is the lack of essay prompts AS WELL as not being able to score them. The latter is understandable but there's a plethora of online prompts so what I've ended up doing is taking a prompt from the web and use ManhattanPreps UI to complete the essay. Anyway, the resource isn't too bad but doesn't appear to be a sole resource to study for the GRE. read more

Ryan Jacob's GMAT classes at Manhattan Prep gave me the insights, regimen, and support to beat Stanford GSB's average GMAT score! The test-taking strategies that Ryan taught me I wouldn't have learned anywhere else. From time management on the exam, to strategic guessing, to tackling Data Sufficiency in counter-intuitive ways, and conquering Reading Comprehension with a simple principle, he explained tricky concepts in incredibly intuitive and engaging ways. The secret sauce, aka methods that Ryan taught, is NOT printed on the Manhattan prep study guides, but come from battle-tested experience and are truly effective in helping students shift their mentality and approach, and in turn fundamentally level up their performance on the GMAT. Ryan is incredibly responsive to emails, too. I could always contact him when I encounter a difficult question when practicing at home, or discuss whether I should attempt the covid/online version of the exam. For his students, he even created a Youtube video of him taking a quant part of the exam and talking through their thinking and time management. Manhattan Prep itself has a helpful online platform (Atlas) that takes the stress out of studying, so students can focus on reading and practicing, rather than be overwhelmed by what to read or which questions to practice among 6-7 massive prep books. Beyond offering valuable insights, Ryan's class also offered the peer support and motivation for me to keep going through this mentally and emotionally challenging process. We had a lot of fun and shared laughters along the way. Truly grateful for Ryan and Manhanttan Rrep and would high recommend them to those who want to achieve a stellar score on the GMAT! (I took the 9-week class with Ryan, which transitioned from in-person to online midway when covid lockdown took place.) read more

I took the in-person 9-week prep class at the Market St. location with Isaac Puglia and I would highly recommend both the class and Isaac as an instructor. I now know why all of my friends recommended Manhattan Prep when I started asking around for GMAT class suggestions. The course does a great job of guiding you through all of the subject matter at a reasonable pace and Manhattan provides you with tons of great resources on their online platform. Everything from useful explanations of practice problems, video lectures of lessons if you need additional help, and analytics on your practice tests to name a few. Isaac was just awesome and I have already recommended him to a number of friends of mine. He really knows his stuff, provides clear explanations and has lots of great tips for tackling the test. And most importantly, he has a terrific attitude, is encouraging and positive, and always made himself available for help after class. I was able to exceed my target GMAT score and I have Isaac to thank for that! read more

This is the best bang for the buck when it comes to GMAT classes, hands down. Each 3 hour class has a specific subject purpose and if you follow the provided excel study guide, you should have no problems thoroughly understanding the GMAT. MGMAT also provides 6 CATs, included 30 minute tutoring each week, and a discussion forum. If that's not enough, private tutoring available. The books are tailored to a specific GMAT study area, including the holy grail of Sentence Correction that continually tops everyones list. The instructors are outstanding and required to score 99% percentile (760). Compare that to Kaplan's 690, and you get the picture. I highly recommend Rey Fernandez. And to think, you can put your newly found business skills to good use by selling your used books after you ace the GMAT on craigslist or ebay... read more

I'd recommend Manhattan GMAT to anyone studying for the test. The course is very thorough, the insturctors are excellent, great classroom atmosphere, there is an abundence of resources, and the strategy guides really speak to you. (Yes, I've finished the course and do realize that my last sentence isn't parrellel. =p) After signing up for my 1 meeting per week class, I get 6 practice exams, online recordings of all weeks, 30 minute private office hours each week with a qualified tutor, books to cover every topic on the GMAT, the Official GMAT Guide, and more. This prep course is definetely well worth the money. read more

My 200th review is going to go to Manhattan GMAT. If you are from Manhattan GMAT and reading this, I apologize ahead of time for my grammatical errors in this review. I really do know better! In all honesty this is the only GMAT prep course I've taken, but I can't possibly think of anything more they could add to the program to make it better. The instructors are top-notch. I've sat in classes with Michael Schwartz and Rey Fernandez. Both of them are excellent instructors. They certainly demonstrate mastery of the content; with the steep prerequisite of being in the 99th percentile of GMAT test-takers it shouldn't come as a surprise. Manhattan GMAT offers some of the most competitive salaries in the industry ($100/hr) to help attract and retain the top talent. The website is easy to navigate and there are tons of resources available on-line to help you study. The OG Archer problem archive is extremely useful as well as the weekly office hour phone sessions. The course emphasizes re-visiting all those fundamental mathematical and verbal topics we (supposedly) learned in high school and hammering down the most commonly seen issues on the GMAT. I'm midway through my course, so I can't give you a before and after score just yet, but I feel like I've gained a lot simply from attending class and working through the homework problems. The course is demanding, but it's taught in a way that keeps it continuously fresh. You would be making a mistake if you didn't include Manhattan GMAT as part of your prep process. read more

I took a GMAT 9 session course with Isaac Puglia, and my test taking skills have improved dramatically. The program was incredibly well-crafted for me to learn effectively. The homework framework, the interactive class sessions, and study methods led me to feel much more confident about taking the GMAT (and any test) than I've ever felt before. I recommend taking the course because live-instruction helped keep those learning lessons more memorable. Friends have recommended me that Isaac is the best instructor, and I can now attest to that as well! Isaac communicates clearly, fosters a fun learning environment, and provides great follow-through on all our questions. Thanks so much Manhattan Prep & Isaac! Many of us owe our successes to you and your team. read more

I read the 2-3 * reviews on here for Manhattan and feel that the rationale doesn't make sense. One gave a 2 * rating because he/she doesn't like prep courses. Really. I've taken the Kaplan course, and the class size was huge. Manhattan GMAT classes don't have more than 25 spots, of which we had only 6 filled. The personalized attention doesn't get any better. The books are thorough. If you're looking for shortcuts or a 600-range score, try Kaplan or some other course. But if you're looking to really understand and manipulate the material, willing to commit the time, and want a 700+ score, there is nothing better in the marketplace than Manhattan. The book set includes Official GMAC prep and question books. Retaking the class costs $300 on a space-available basis. If the books have changed, they give you a new set, and that's included in the $300. Beat that. Location is nice. Right downtown, by the Powell BART stop. The new office on the 10th floor is much quieter than the previous one on the 6th floor. One other thing - their online testing and analysis tools are amazing! They help you tear into the reason why your score is what it is, how to improve, etc. read more

I took the class looking to improve my GMAT score. It's kinda pricey, I think I spent like $1200 or $1300. There's a 10% coupon if you look. The class size is pretty small, about 8 ppl were in my class. The first class was pretty large because alot of people were checking it out but decided not to enroll. The instruction is okay. I had this principal, but I forgot his name. He kept on getting my name mixed up with someone else, so I guess he really wasn't too focused. He would ramble on and sometimes get phone calls during class. The books were good. However, the practice tests didn't reflect the actual test. Tell me how did I go from doing very good in Verbal and okay in Math to okay in Verbal and very good in Math? A complete opposite from the practice tests. Well I got into the school I wanted to go to, so I guess it helped. I recommended and referred a couple of my friends to them, they were suppose to send me something for it but I don't recall getting anything. Overall I"m glad I'm done with the GMAT and on towards business school. read more

I finished my course on Dec 1st 2014. My instructor was Ryan Jacobs and he was fantastic! The whole Manhattan GMAT experience has been nothing but wonderful. The resources that they provided kept me on track. Even though it was a little pricey, I am glad I chose them over any other competitors. My score improved 140 points from the beginning of class to my first GMAT. I am now looking to take my second GMAT and MGMAT provided me with a Post-Assessment session to help prep for it. Ryan is great and I'd highly recommend him. He's been answering all my questions even after my course. I know they've started a course closer to FiDi to make it more convenient for those who work closer to the ferry building area. Overall, I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. Don't hesitate. I wish I had just taken this class instead of trying to self-study at first. I believe that there's a $100 dollars coupon somewhere (I didn't get a chance to use mine). GOOD LUCK! I'll probably re-write another review after my second GMAT. read more

I think this is a GREAT GMAT Prep course. I took the 9 week online course which works somewhat like a WebEx meeting. The teachers work hard to make sure all of the students are actively engaged in the class despite it being an online course. The instructors are very intelligent (all of them have scored in the 99th percentile). They have very helpful office hours which are great when you want to review the more challenging problems. I would say the most useful part of their package is the computer adaptive tests. They really helped me mentally prep. And the results? I surpassed my target score on the first try! read more

Highly highly recommended. Took the online course after a month of research and taking other trial courses. It is 9 sessions, nothing short of an in person courses if not better (and it is cheaper). They send you everything you absolutely need or might need for the course and to study on your own after the course. Their material is very well written and so easy to understand. Ryan Wessel and Seb Moosapoor taught this course and they were both amazing. I actually looked forward to each Session because they made the material really easy to understand and created this easy and fun environment. Manhattan GMAT has truly thought of every step of the process when they designed the curriculum. It prepares you in a way that you struggle less. Their site is a really great resource and they give you really good advice on stress/time management on the actual test (they actually have a book on it that is part of the curriculum). read more

I highly recommend MGMAT for anyone who has a tendency to panic and choke under the pressures of timed exams. MGMAT breaks down the subject matter of the quant and verbal sections into easily study-able and digestible chapters. Furthermore, they have a very helpful service that allows you to track the subjects and question types in which you are strongest or weakest, thereby allowing you to really tailor your studying. I have absolute faith that if you sign up for the 9 week course, study diligently, attend all classes and do all your homework, you have an extremely good chance of obtaining a competitive score. I had Tommy Wallach as my instructor and I would highly recommend him. He presents and teaches the material effectively, and engages you in the in-class practice questions -- all while remaining friendly and collaborative. We do a good number of practice questions in class, and you never feel angry or embarrassed to make your mistakes with Tommy as your instructor. read more

I took a class with Michael. Whilst the books are the most essential part of the Manhattan course, the classes give you an extra edge because you can hear how the teachers think through a problem in realtime. These test taking tips matter. My score improved 100 from start to finish, so I was a happy customer. Beware about parking if you are driving. The only real option is the 5th and Mission garage which wil set you back an extra $25 each class. read more

I simply do not have enough good things to say about the in-person 9 week GMAT prep course with Isaac. Isaac is a brilliant educator. He immediately understood the personalities, strengths, and weaknesses of each student in the class. Although we all came from different backgrounds and educational experiences, we managed to both grow together and individually strengthen our GMAT scores. Isaac made difficult concepts simple and offered endless tips and tricks to navigate the exam. He often stayed after class to discuss everything from challenging data sufficiency or reading comprehension problems to life advice and sneakers. It was an incredibly positive and memorable experience. I am extremely happy with the results of this class. My score increased by 120 points from my first practice exam. I feel that with additional practice on my end, it could have increased even more. Isaac and Manhattan Prep gave me every single resource I needed to succeed on the GMAT. I am proud to say that I will be attending my dream business school this year. Thank you Isaac, and thank you Manhattan Prep! read more

Short Intro I actually wrote a 2,500 word review in which I cover where to start, valuable GMAT resources, and more details about myself and my Manhattan Prep experience. Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't allow me to publish a review that long. At the end of this shorter version, I'll share a link for the full review. My final score: 24/11/2015: V 44 98%, Q 49 78%, AWA 6 91%, IR 6 67% Total: 750 98%. Why Manhattan Prep? Instructors Manhattan Prep only hires instructors who scored at least on the 99th percentile and have ample teaching experience, teaching classes or as private tutors. Manhattan Prep's high hiring standards guarantee that you will have an exceptional teacher. In fact my teachers, Isaac for the GMAT and David for the GRE, were comparable to the best teachers I've had both in high school and in college. This is relevant for the live course, although not so much for the online self-paced version. My teachers not only were great during their respective classes, but also were accessible and responsive after finishing my courses. For example, after completing a Manhattan Prep practice exam, I would write to Isaac and he would get back to me within a day with a detailed analysis of my exam. Additionally, I would often send a question with a solution I didn't understand to either Isaac or David, and they would reply with a detailed explanation within a day. Resources The books are fantastic. They cover all the GMAT sections and topics from the basics all the way to the advanced problems and strategies. The Sentence Correction guide is probably the best guide out there. I also found the Advanced Quant book, which is not included in the live course, very useful in my final push. There is one area of improvement though: Manhattan should give you the option to opt for a Kindle version of their books when you buy the live or online self-paced courses. The physical books are bulky and the electronic version that Manhattan Prep gives you works with Adobe Digital Editions, which pales in comparison to the Kindle reader application. Apart from the books, Manhattan Prep gives you a problem by topic guide that was invaluable in my later studies. The guide breaks down the official guide's problems by topic, so if you want to focus on geometry, for example, the topic guide lists all the geometry problems in the official guide. Furthermore, the GMAT Navigator was a key part of my study workflow. The navigator is an online tool in which you enter a problem number, your answer, and the time it took you to solve the problem. You can then see the correct answer and explanations for why the right answer is right, and why the wrong answers are wrong. You even get video explanations for some questions. Additionally, the navigator keeps track of your timing and performance, providing useful analytics for later on. It's sort of an error log, but not a substitute for one. I wish Manhattan Prep would release the navigator as a standalone app with error logging capabilities. It would be very useful! Maybe I should just code something like it... Moving on! Manhattan Prep has six practice exams that are very similar to the real GMAT exam. After you finish an exam, you can access answer explanations and an Assessment Report with useful data, such as timing per question and right and wrong answers by difficulty and topic. The Assessment Report will help you improve your timing strategy and identify and focus in your weak areas. Essentially, the Assessment Report from your Manhattan Prep exams will guide your study plan. Because the GMAT Prep software doesn't provide this data, the Manhattan Prep exams with the Assessment Report analytics are far more useful. Conclusion In the end, unless you are willing to put in the time and effort to achieve your target score, it doesn't matter if you choose Manhattan Prep or Patito Prep (In Mexico, we use the "Patito" brand whenever we want to imply that something is cheap and of low quality). You are the most important element in your own success. I owe my success to Manhattan Prep's resources and teachers, my classmates, coaching from my tutor in Mexico, my supportive wife and, above all, my unrelenting desire to beat the GMAT. PS You can reach my full review on this link: http://bit.ly/1U69vf8 I am slowly writing a blog post about my MBA application experience.

I took the 9 week course with Rey Fernandez. I highly recommend Rey because he breaks very complex problems into easy concepts. One could buy the books and self study, however I feel that the class teaches you how to think like the test writers. My first attempt was not so great (650). I had a post-exam assessment with Stacey Koprince and she helped me identify what I needed to work on. Stacey really knows her stuff and my second attempt was a 700. Pretty good for a guy who normally does terrible on standardized tests. Thanks again to Rey, Stacey, and Manhattan GMAT for all the help and support! read more

I tried out an intro class at their Market location and was fortunate to have been taught by Zach. Zach is very clear in his explanations and thoughtful in describing different test prep strategies. I definitely recommend him as an instructor. However I think due to my unpredictable work and commitment schedule, I'll probably end up doing the online version. The resources that Manhattan has, which includes online test banks and automated question analysis will be extremely helpful. read more

I had heard plenty of horror stories of the GMAT by the time I finally set a timeline for myself to take it. Not wanting to leave anything to chance, I bought the Manhattan Prep books and signed up for the 9 week prep course with Ryan Jacobs. I took a practice test prior to the first class and got a 620. Ryan did a fantastic of introducing the material in an easy-to-digest way, making a game out building up our skill sets. Just as important, he broke down the structure of the test and continually introduced little tricks and hints to maximize the effect of our studying. In addition to the in class work, the website had lectures and homework corresponding to each week. By the end of the last class, I felt very comfortable that I could work my way up to a +700 score. Using the foundations I built in the class, I fully dove into the Manhattan Study practice questions. By working one's way through all of the materials, you can prep yourself for nearly any style of question that comes your way. The real test felt almost easy after the five months of classroom and solo studying. I was able to obtain a score of 750 and I can't thank Ryan and Manhattan enough for the part they played in getting me there. Thank You! read more

Manhattan is by far the most reputable GMAT prep course, and it shows. I was particularly impressed with the myriad of online resources that allow you to simulate the actual test-taking experience as well as optimize personal study sessions. For instance, there is a tool that allows you to practice Official Guide problems on the computer while also documenting speed and performance by problem type. This was immensely valuable for me, as I was able to quickly discover my strengths/weaknesses and prioritize study to tackle those areas. While no prep course can serve as a substitute for hard work and discipline, the guidance and resources that Manhattan provide are the best in-class to help you achieve your dream score! read more

Honestly, I have been really disappointed in Manhattan GMAT and your services. I wish there was a refund policy, not due to my score, but because the support has been so poor. I scheduled a post exam assessment which was nice but the follow-up since that time has been sub-par at best. Further, after getting additional materials from Kaplan I understand that the way my GMAT course was taught was not effective. It was merely putting problems on the board and solving them. I really did not learn any hard skills from class. In sum, I would not recommend this course to others. After reading other reviews, it may have been my teacher who was not very approachable. As a special note Rey (an instructor) was amazing. I wish he was my instructor and am sure that I would have felt differently, if he would have been my instructor. read more

I signed up for Manhattan's 10 hour private tutoring package. I worked with Manhattan tutor Anisa Ray, who proved to be an outstanding teacher and coach for the GMAT. I scored a 650 on Manhattan's first practice test with no previous practice or tutoring. After what ended up being 11 hours of tutoring, along with my self-study, I was able to score a 760 on test day. Anisa provided strategies that went well beyond what could be taught in a book and personalized them in a way that beat any classroom environment hands down. My time with Anisa also allowed my self-study time to be much more focussed. Rather than going through every page of content in the study materials, we were able to develop a concentrated plan based on an analysis of my practice tests and areas of strength and weakness. Anisa also laid out a very nice plan for tackling the GMAT one day at a time, with goals and schedules for each time we met in the online classroom. Anisa will let you know what it takes to get your goal score, even if it is not easy. She expects a lot of her students, but in return you can expect results. I cannot recommend her enough if you are a determined student willing to put in the work in takes to get your score. Finally, Anisa was great to work with. She is very personable and make tutoring conversations enjoyable and motivating. read more

I found MGMAT very helpful for improving my score. They have great resources and the BEST teachers. It's not cheap, and if you are extremely self-motivated, you may be able to buy some books and teach yourself. However, if you're looking into formal instruction options, I absolutely recommend Manhattan GMAT. read more

Getting an MBA has been a dream and joining the Manhattan Prep GMAT program is one of the best decisions I have made to change that dream into a reality. I totally lucked out having Ryan Jacobs as my instructor. I am sure there are many others who are equally qualified but Ryan's style really fit my needs. I have always been reasonably good at left-brain approaches to problems and Ryan provided us with so many tips on how to approach the exam from a different perspective. In addition to the traditional instruction methods, he added a Jeopardy style quiz, Prime number games and section on how to guess the answer even without questions. GMAT is not just about knowing the Math (which we already learned in middle school) or Verbal (which we commonly come across) but about quickly getting to the answer in the least amount of time. I found his easy going style and his so called "lazy" (should I add a TM here Ryan?) approaches fascinating. If you have been away from exams a long time, I suggest you take one of their free sessions. I would be remiss if I don't mention the post-course assessment where a different instructor looks at your sample exams and gives you tips. I am pretty sure that the 2 areas that Tony Caldarone identified for me helped me get the final 20-40 points. Thanks Ryan and Tony! In case you are wondering I scored a 760 (Q 50/ V 42 / IR 8) read more

Quite simply, Manhattan GMAT prep delivered the goods - my score on the GMAT was 150 points higher than my first practice tests. I had heard about Manhattan Prep from a couple of friends as being the best prep option, so I signed up for a free trial class. I liked what I heard and saw from the instructor and signed up the full class (and gave them my money). 9 weeks, all materials provided, engaging instruction. I think the instructors are the strength of Manhattan GMAt I knew I'd chosen the right prep when I started to look forward to going to the 3 hour classes after a long day at work. Like so many things in life, you'll get out what you put in. The instructor will be quite frank in telling you that if you aren't doing the homework or aren't doing a little bit every day, you'll be leaving points on the table. Manhattan GMAT gives you all the tools to build skills and confidence that will serve you well on test day. read more

Manhattan Prep is the way to go for GMAT. I bought Manhattan GMAT books after reading their excellent review online; however, I was still lost after reading through all the books. I then signed up for 9 week course online with Manhattan Prep and that was definitely money well spent. The classes are incredibly helpful and both of my instructors, Ryan Jacobs and Paul Fisher, were really knowledgeable and approachable. They teach you so many tricks that you would never learn by just reading the books. After taking the classes, I found that I was still struggling with CR and certain areas of quant. I then took 4 private lessons with Ryan that essentially helped me to cross the 700 mark. Ryan is an awesome teacher who genuinely cares for his students and is always available to answer questions, even when he is on vacation. If you are struggling with GMAT in general, I suggest signing up for classes with Manhattan prep. However, if there are specific areas that need work, I would sign up for private lessons (they are expensive, but so worth it) with Ryan. A big thank you to Manhattan Prep and Ryan Jacobs! My score: 710 (48 Quant, 39 Verbal) read more

I had less than 6 weeks to prepare for the GMAT and knew I needed a structured plan for my review. I signed up for the Manhattan GMAT online accelerated class and finished all the course work a week before my exam. Sure it is pricey, but I felt it was well worth the investment - I scored beyond what I thought was possible, esp. in such a short time frame. The program is very detailed and really focuses on the content, not just simple test-taking tips. The study guides drill down on the material and offer a lot of practice questions. There's also a ton of online resources too, like practice tests, challenge problems and webcasts. During your program, you also have access to weekly office hours where you talk directly with an instructor to go over problems or anything else you need help with. The classes themselves were great for reinforcing the concepts and as a forum to ask questions. I was a little concerned about doing the online version (instead of classroom) before I signed up, but in the end I really liked the platform. It is really interactive - everyone speaks via microphone and there is a chat window as well. There are two instructors so while one is teaching, you can send questions to the other instructor and get personal help while not disturbing the whole class. My instructors - Rey and Eric - were great... very clear in their explanations and had extra test tips that helped me on the day of the test. Both were super approachable. Biggest critique is that sometimes the classes went a little slowly and explanations dragged on a bit... but the instructors were open to suggestions on how to cater to the group. The MGMAT program really worked for me, but you have to have the time and focus to make it worthwhile. There is a lot of information packed into a short amount of time, especially for the accelerated class. You will only get as much out of it as you put into it. If you are looking for a prep course - this is the best investment. read more

Manhattan GMAT is for people that are really serious about getting a 700+ score on the GMAT. If you don't want to spend a lot of time studying, or just want quick tricks for getting a better score, check out Kaplan or Princeton. MGMAT is the most highly rated prep course by several of the "Get into Top B Schools" books, and by Business Week, and not without reason. My instructor in the SF Office was Tommy Wallach, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. I ended up taking two private tutoring sessions with him as well, and saw my score go from my first practice test of 580 to a final score of 720. I'd recommend MGMAT to anyone that is trying to get into a top business school, and willing to spend a lot of time working on it. read more

I really liked the half an hour a week of tutoring over the phone. it was great to get individualized attention each week. i also thought the practice tests were really good. the quantitative section was slightly more difficult than the real GMAT, but overall a good indicator. my instructor was very lively and often went over class time to give more instruction. i liked the way the course was set up. overall i thought it was a great course and i would recommend it to anyone trying to get over a 700. read more

I can't recommend this course enough. My instructor Kim Cabot was phenomenal. This course gives you the tools and guidance to improve your score significantly. I improved 160 points from first practice test to exam day. read more

I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep for GMAT prep and Isaac Puglia as an instructor. I subscribed to his teaching method and exceeded my score goals in a timely manner. read more

I highly recommend Manhattan for test prep and also David as an instructor. David is a great teacher and did a really good job of articulating and explaining how to handle every aspect of the GMAT. As a result my score went from a 620 to a 720! read more

I did a 9-week GMAT prep course in person and highly recommend it to anybody who's on the fence. I also hit the jackpot with Ryan Jacobs as an instructor. He's extremely good, he handles a class of mixed abilities very well, and he added a ton of value beyond what you can get from self-study using all the Manhattan GMAT materials. Definitely worth the (quite high) expense of the class. read more
