Manhattan Prep GMAT

I would Highly recommend using Manhattan GMAT for your GMAT preparations. Studying for the GMAT was a mental /​emotional roller coaster, and I could not have gotten through it without the help of Chris and James, the two Atlanta instructors.
I took an in-​person class with Chris, and really enjoyed his teaching style. He is very interactive, and mixes in advice about the test /​test-​taking strategies along with lessons on the actual test content. The resources that came with the class were also amazing, and completely indispensable to my test preparation.
After I took the class, I signed up for some one-​on-​one tutoring sessions with James. He was incredibly helpful, especially in pinpointing my weaknesses and relatively easy areas I can improve & pick up more points. The class helped me gain the content knowledge I needed, and James helped me with my personal test-​taking strategy.
Both instructors were amazing, and I could not have done it without their support!

I took this class after already taking the GMAT 3 times. I had scored 620, 610 and 630 so this was my last attempt to improve my score. I honestly thought at best I would score ⁶⁵⁰⁄₆₆₀ after taking the class but ended up scoring 690! Now I can apply to the schools of my choice.
James is an excellent instructor and he does make the class interesting right from the start. If you go to every class and complete all the weekly homework I really feel you can score in the high 600s or low 700s. This class is that good!
On a side note I took a different course through a Groupon deal last year called «Manhattan Elite» and they sucked. I guess when you pay peanuts you get monkeys.
All in all, if you are serious about improving your GMAT score, this course is worth every penny. Thank you James and MGMAT!

The GMAT test is a pain in the butt! Thinking about it now is still congers up some pretty awful memories. After a few weeks of attempting to study for the test on my own, I made the same choice many in my position do, and I reluctantly signed up for a very expensive class. Ultimately, this turned out to be a great decision.
The Good:
James, the Atlanta instructor, is why this review gets five stars. He is fantastic. He teaches the required curriculum, but then he goes beyond that and helps students understand the test, the best guessing strategies, and even those pesky math fundamentals that I have not used since high school. What I feel set this class apart from experiences my peers have had with other companies, is that James was always available. Even 4 months after the class, when I it was Steve vs. the GMAT, round II, I still got help with my GMAT questions via email.
The online tutorial sessions are also fantastic. You can use them to supplement your in class and at home work, and ensure that you stay on track. What I liked most about them, is that they tended to be very personalized. The attendance was low, so it was typically a 3:1 ratio, which provided a very interactive learning environment.
My only complaint about the class, is that they don’t have a very solid «guarantee.» After my first try at the test, I needed more help, and though James was available to answer specific questions, and the online materials were at my finger tips, I would have appreciated a chance to sit for more live classes.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend MGMAT to anyone.

I could not recommend this more. After studying for a month with a Peterson’s guide I picked up from Borders, I scored a miserable 580. I was not prepared at all, and realized I had made a poor choice of a study guide. i didn’t think they differed that much.
I was on a tight schedule (I had two months before I needed to submit my scores), so I chose the MGMAT self guided gmat prep plus package, and followed the syllabus closely for about a month and a half. i was hoping for a 640 – 660 based on my practice exam scores, but I came out with a 710! It will take some work, many hours of work, but the payoff is HUGE. I wish I hadn’t wasted the time with other study guides. MGMAT is the way to go, you’ll be fully prepared. I couldn’t believe my eyes when my score popped up. Now I’m able to apply to top 10 schools that I otherwise would never have given a second thought to.
