I took the Manhattan 9-week Prep Course in Santa Monica, California. At first, I was not sure if it would be worth it especially for the hefty price but after reading reviews on GMAT Club, I decided to pull the trigger. The course was very structured and the teacher did such a great job walking us through all the problems.

One thing that I absolutely appreciate about this course is the techniques that you learn in both recognizing and solving the problems. In addition, there are also various timing techniques that you learn here that you do not normally learn whenever you self-study.

Overall, Manhattam GMAT is the best value!

750 (44 V, 48 Q, 7 IR, 5.5 AWA)

Location Los Angeles, CA USA

I purchased the Manhattan Prep strategy guides in April 2015, but it was difficult for me to structure my time to incorporate serious prep. This past January, I made the decision to enroll in a 9-session Manhattan Prep class in Santa Monica. I committed to doing the homework each week, so I'd be prepared for Ben's engaging class discussions. I scored a 620 on my first practice CAT exam. Thanks to the Manhattan Prep platform and Ben's tips and tricks, I was able to get a 750 (first try) on the official GMAT. I would highly recommend both Manhattan Prep and Ben Ku for anyone struggling to structure their study time effectively.
