Mark is a LEGEND With his help, I went from a 680 to a 760 Truly, his help on quant & overall test-taking strategy was worth its weight in gold. He made things so easy to understand, he was able to come up with a personalized lesson plan super quickly, was respective of my time and gave relevant homework assignments that were all linked in his form. He just made things so easy, and really helped me understand how to do well. He gave me so much confidence, and it really paid off! I cannot recommend him enough. If you feel like you've hit a plateau, or especially if you don't even know where to start, he can help you build from the ground up. If you're reading this, I promise Mark's your guy.

I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep for GMAT tutoring. Josh was extremely knowledgable and knew the exam back to front. In the 4 months I was working with him, my score improved 140 points. I only took the test once and my ultimate score was higher than my outside goal at the beginning of the course. Josh did a great job of assigning work and relevant practice problems. We were able to hone in on specific skills that I needed to work on. Breaking up the test made it a lot more manageable and I really appreciated the structure. I've recommended Manhattan Prep to many friends and coworkers looking to study for the GMAT and truly think it is the best decision to get through this phase!

I took the online GMAT course with Stacey staring January 2023. + Books are amazing. The 3 tiered structure of foundational, primary and advanced material works well. + There are SO many useful strategies that are covered on the Manhattan Prep online portal during and during class. This applies to each section of the GMAT. These are game changers, since it really helps you structure your studies. GMAT is about more than just the study material. + The big benefit for me of using the course vs self study , is the structure that is enforced. We all have content areas we are weak at and tend to ignore. But the course gives you a clear study plan, diverse set of homework assignments every week and improves skills like time management. + Stacey - The biggest benefit for me was taking the course with Stacey. She is the primary author on most of the books, takes the time to reply to every query in great depth and helps tailor a study plan for you. Every class was amazing.

Elaine was an amazing tutor for the GMAT. On a weekly basis, she helped me tackle each question type with the right strategy and mindset. She helped me improve my scores across each section and did a good job of adjusting our lessons depending on where I was struggling. Elaine was ultimately a big reason I was able to achieve my target score.

Gregg is a phenomenal tutor. He is brilliant and finds joy in almost all GRE problems, making it easy to motivate to study and learn. He has a unique teaching style that helped me improve my scored from the low 300s to a 320+. He is encouraging, while also keeping students honest in their studies. While the Manhattan Prep materials are excellent in and of themselves, Gregg added incredible value with multiple permutations of each lesson to ensure I understood the material. If you are thinking about taking the GRE, Gregg is an elite choice.

I started studying for the gmat on my own years ago and struggled to make much improvement due to the boring nature of the exam. I took an in-person 9 week course which genuinely made the content enjoyable. I looked forward to my three hour class every week and slowly saw my score improve. After the course ended, my instructor met with me twice one-on-one (for free!!!) to help me specifically prepare for the actual exam. After taking the exam for the second time, my score had improved 130 points since the beginning of the course (580 —-> 710). Shoutout to my instructor Reed who went above and beyond. I highly recommend Reed and any Manhattan prep in-person course!!!

The GRE coursework is really good. I started with the 5 Lb. Practice Problem book, and signed up for the first 15 online modules of interact program being offered with the book. This got me hooked and I started attending live GRE prep hour classes as well, completing the entire suite of prep materials offered by manhattan prep - Book, Interact, Live online GRE Class! Pros:- The GRE live instruction is better than what the best can be! GRE curriculum is supposed to be a bit dry, vague and boring. But Manhattan makes it more interesting and engaging. I am not a bright student myself, but I ended up practicing problems even after the class was over! Trust me, it's really difficult for someone to make me do that. Lol... I am not sure if I will see myself like that ever again! The process is made so joyful and well worth the expensive price tag! Attending the live classes, in my opinion, is most crucial for one to make best use of their flagship book, 5 Lb Book of GRE Practice Problems. Approaching the problems in that book, after attending live classes on that topic, is really good and makes the most difficult problems seem more easy. And the problems in that book actually mimics the original GRE questions. Cons:- What I am not a big fan of, is the "Drill it" part of Interact program. It basically throws endless questions on a topic (in a sense but not exactly), and yet, does not have a proper explanation of the solution. Manhattan prep boasts ~100,000 practice problems, but having all of that without a proper explanation of answers seems a bit weird. It's more like a flashcard. A question will be given, and you can turn a card to reveal the answer. That's it! No explanation of how one could get that answer. And even with endless problems, what actually happens is that, within a said topic, let's say fractions, it keeps giving multiple questions of same type and concept, but with different numbers. The template is same, and the system keeps plugging in different numbers and generates different questions. It's really not that challenging to actually call it as "GRE Style question", and I am not sure if it qualifies to be called as "endless questions". It seemed a bit ambiguous. General opinion:- The interact program is a bit different from the on demand counterpart, which is being offered by other test prep companies like Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc., Interact is a learning module which teaches, as well as keeps testing your understanding every now and then. Although many students might find it helpful, I find it a bit intimidating and annoying, that it pops up a question every 2 minutes, while watching the video lesson. In a sense, it felt like watching youtube with frequent ads! I could not keep my hands free, learn continuously for an hour or so and then take a half hour quiz. No, that's not interact! You need to keep switching your brain between learning mode and testing mode every 2-3 mins. You can't keep your mouse down. The advantage to this, is that it makes best use of your valuable time, as the course keeps updating and adapts to one's strengths and weaknesses, so that one won't have to waste time in learning what one is already good at. For instance, if you are good in a specific topic, and keep giving correct answers to the intermittent quizzes, which occur between the videos, then the course will go faster, and will skip the basics for you. But if one is weak, then he / she might end up spending more time in completing the same chapter. It might be engaging for some, but the disadvantage that I felt, is that the continuous testing of concepts, is so frequent, that it makes me have it in my short term memory, just trying to get over with the speed breaker quizzes, and I doubt if I will be able to retain it in my long term memory. But attending an hour long video lesson and spending the next 30 mins in drilling the quizzes works best for me. But I don't want to judge Manhattan prep on this regard, as this is completely subjective, and what works for others might not work for me. My Verdict:- If the price was a bit lower, or if we could find frequent sales being run by Manhattan, the course would have been a chef's kiss!

I had Tyler Johnston as my GRE for MBA instructor and loved every minute of class. Tyler made learning fun and created a zero stress environment with the students, which actually made me look forward to class each week. I was pretty rusty with the subject material, but thanks to Tyler and the Manhattan Prep coursework, I was accepted to my dream MBA school.

The Manhattan Prep course is comprehensive and well structured. The dashboard keeps a record of things that need to be completed weekly before every class. The app helps you practice every day. It makes sure that you take out a few minutes every day to prepare, no matter how busy you are. The weekly classes are interactive and help you with tips and tricks that are extremely helpful to ace the test. The best is their 'Interact' Video Lectures. Those videos modify according to the needs of the user.

I had a great experience with MPrep. I tried many other methods of studying for the LSAT prior to enrolling (including self-studying, Mike Kim's, group classes, etc), but nothing was as useful as this course. I took the exam a year apart and got an 11 score increase. My instructor was Ally Bell and she was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable and always had great tips and tricks up her sleeve that I actually put to use on test day. Her teaching method was very approachable and handy. I highly recommend her and this course!
