Through this class, I was able to hold myself to a schedule, follow a comprehensive learning curriculum, and gain tips on how to specifically ace the GMAT test format / CAT.

Materials - By going through the 10+ MP booklets and online videos, I was able to learn everything covered on the GMAT from the true basics to more challenging problem types. They offered a systematic way to identify and solve every type of problem so there was no mystery.


Teacher - Mark was great - he taught with succinctness / clarity and created a very comfortable classroom experience where every student felt compelled to ask any type of question and participate. You can truly tell he is a master of every part of the GMAT.

Classroom setting - I definitely gained more through self-studying afterwards than in class. The classes had people from all different backgrounds so we spent a lot of time covering really basic problems. However, the classes did help reiterate and cement some learnings.

Resources - Online portal was great, especially the Navigator tool that offered more detailed solutions to every single Official GMAT problem guide. The problem list was also good to target specific areas.

In the end I improved by 150 points and got above 700!

The live Manhattan Prep GMAT course was critical to my success and enabled me to ultimately score a 740. My instructor, Dhivya Arumugham was very well-prepared, articulate and knowledgeable. I would really recommend Dhivya as an instructor - she provides clear, concise explanations of problems, has a good sense of humor and brings a lot of energy to some mundane topics.

The course is very structured and incorporates quant, verbal, and test taking strategy each week. The online learning portal makes it very easy to manage your assignments weekly, track progress, and flag areas of weakness to review. I took the exam for the first time only two days after the course ended (which is not recommended) and scored a 690. After another month of review using the official guide and other quant drills, I scored a 740. I am convinced that Manhattan prep was key to my success and the price was well worth it.

They also provide additional resources including webinars about certain test areas, selecting the right schools for you, applications, and interviews. You have access to an individual review of a practice exam with an instructor to create a study plan. I also received a free half-hour session with an admissions consultant who helped tremendously and could answer questions about the specific schools to which I applied.

I started working with Mark after taking the Manhattan Prep 10 week course and scoring well below my goal (650 with goal of 700). After this, I decided to invest in private tutoring and started working with Mark Sullivan. I took the GMAT again, and scored 720 thanks to Mark (47 quant, 41 verbal). He quickly diagnosed my weaknesses, and then provided a clear plan to hit my goal. He focused on the biggest hitting items / content areas and devised a plan that I could manage with a full time job.
Outside of providing excellent tutoring services during my paid sessions, Mark was always available to respond to emails and provide feedback on practice tests. I never felt like I was “on the clock” – if we ran slightly over the time allotment, I didn’t feel that he was rushing to end the session. Mark was really a source of positivity and made me feel confident going into the test.
Very highly recommend Mark for anyone needing personalized tutoring!!! Just wish I’d started working with him from the beginning.

I took a "live online" accelerated offering of the Manhattan Prep GMAT course, and it was money well-spent. It was quite a quick turnaround from starting the course to taking my test--9 class sessions were packed into 4 weeks (Wednesdays & Sundays), and I took my exam 3 days after the final class. However, over that time I saw a 60-point improvement from my first CAT to my test. The online format was great because it allowed me to log into class from my home or on the road, but the "live" aspect helped keep me accountable--there were definitely cold calls! Gregg really helped me focus on content and tricks that would yield great improvement in my results!

I took a GMAT prep class at Manhattan Prep with Laurel Hanson in late 2017, and highly recommend the course. Laurel is a fantastic teacher and makes what could be a very dry course fun. She's smart, patient, and has a ton of easy tricks that help not only with learning the material (which most students haven't encountered since high school), but also with timing (which, for a lot of people, is the hardest part of the GMAT). The books you receive when you sign up for the course are extremely helpful as well, and make high-quality studying after the course has finished entirely doable.

I took an online course with Noah Teitelbaum and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. With his help I was able to get into my target school. I literally cannot think of a better guide to help me navigate the dynamic, and often bewildering, waters of the GMAT. He not only numbed some of the pain of studying but also made the process notably enjoyable. I even laughed a lot more than I thought I would. In general, he enhanced the way I now approach test taking. I HIGHLY recommend Noah and the Manhattan Prep online resources. Manhattan Prep provides a ton of resources to help you prepare. I was absolutely lost when I took that first practice test. I went from not even knowing what the GMAT was to achieving my goals. Thank you Noah and Manhattan Prep for all of the help and guidance!

I would highly recommend taking the Manhattan Prep class with Ryan McGorman. He was captivating, adapted to all ability levels, and was always available by email for questions outside of class. He taught us a lot of good tips and tricks for time saving on math problems. Additionally, he gave us a lot of great strategy tips for maximizing our scores.

As for Manhattan Prep, all of the online resources were very helpful, especially the yellow pad technique! The course was well designed and I liked that we did math AND verbal in every class, so our brains didn't get too fatigued looking at the same type of problem for 3 hours. The CAT exams tended to be harder than my actual GMAT, so I felt confident while taking the exam.

I took the GMAT prep class with Mike Morgan as the instructor. He is a great teacher and engages the class when he teaches the content and gives good advice and tips for approaching questions. He is also available to answer questions that you have via email or after class.

The course was helpful in learning some GMAT test taking tips and approaches. After taking a few practice tests and doing the OG problems online in the Navigator, I would recommend reviewing them using their tracker and assessment reports. They help you identify your area of focus.

Manhattan Prep gives you the resources and tools to succeed but ultimately, it is up to you to take the time to prepare for the test. You also need to know what your goal is and be proactive about how you can reach that your ideal score.

I took a 9-week GMAT course with Eric at the beginning of 2018. I had decided to not only study and take the GMAT, but also applied for a few part-time MBA programs at the same time, so during this period, I had to put in a lot of hard work, dedication and discipline. Eric was a great resource. He motivated our class and always had some piece of advice that we could use in our studies. You do need to put in the time as well but Eric helps along the way and I would recommend using the tips he provides even though it is more work on top of the Manhattan Prep homework load. My first score was a 530 after finishing the class, and Eric warned us our first live GMAT will not be as great as we hope, so I kept on with the studies, using the tips that Eric provided, while also keeping the mindset that this isn't the end of the world. After one month, I retook the GMAT and raised my score to 640! If it weren't for Eric, Manhattan Prep and my GMAT study group, I would probably not have reached that score, so I'm pretty darn happy so I highly recommend taking Eric's class.

I took the complete GMAT prep course with Shelton, and it was a great experience. He delivered really high-quality, exploratory lectures that really dove into the heart of what the GMAT tests: logic. My first practice score was a 580, and I ended up with a 760 when I finally took the GMAT.

I saw my practice test scores go up considerably during the duration of the course, and kept studying on my own well past the end of the class. My time with Shelton proved more valuable the longer I studied, and I really credit a lot of my success both to his actual instruction and his methodical way of teaching his students to analyze their own weaknesses and address them head-on.

There are no miracles when it comes to test-prep, and you won't wake up with a 700+ score if you don't put in the effort. If you're willing to work for it, though, there's no better choice than Shelton to get you up-to-snuff with the material.
