This was excellent preparation for the GMAT! I'll be honest the sticker shock of this program was concerning at first, given that there is no guarantee that you'll get the score that you want. But, Manhattan Prep really does give students that tools to develop a proper study program, hone test taking skills, and recreate test conditions that assist you in feeling confident and prepared for test day. The biggest piece of advice that I can offer in using this program is take advantage of the post-exam review with an instructor. Being able to develop a review strategy for your second attempt at the exam was invaluable. I felt so much more confident going into my second exam thanks to that 1:1 review. Ultimately, I scored high enough to get into my target school, University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Matt Maxwell Made the LSAT Fun

I took Matt’s winter LSAT course and it was immensely valuable. With his help, I jumped from low 160s to mid/high 170s - way beyond my goal score! Where Matt really excels is in finding a way to make his class and the LSAT a fun, enjoyable experience. No one knows the nuances of test better than he does and he shares all his strategies (he especially excels at teaching conditional logic and logic games). Matt also takes the time to get to know his students and offer them individual attention - he learns every student’s strengths and weaknesses and calls on everyone to participate several times in each class. I was initially overwhelmed with choosing a test prep company and teacher, but knew Matt was the best after my free trial class. His passion for the test is contagious and made me want to study (I was even disappointed when our three hour classes came to an end!). I would highly recommend Matt to anyone considering the LSAT.

Amazing experience with the GMAT prep course over zoom! Had John Cho as an instructor - top notch - went from a 550 on my first practice exam to a 750 on the real thing in less than 3 months.

Take Annie's course!

Annie was a fantastic LSAT prep instructor. I came into the course insecure about how little studying I had done, but she made me feel capable from the get go! She is great at meeting you where you're at, and the 3 hour classes flew by. I would 100% recommend this course to anyone feeling daunted at the beginning of their LSAT journey and confused about where to begin.

This has to be improved!

I had some issues using Manhattan Prep with my Mac.

LSAT low 150s diagnostic to 171 after Manhattan Prep Class

I took the Manhattan Prep Course with Allison Bell in October 2020 and found the class and material very helpful in getting a 171. I started out in the low 150s for my diagnostic and felt very stressed about taking the test. However, I really enjoyed the classes taught by Allison who made the process much less stressful and helped me develop a solid foundation for taking the test. Allison is actually not an attorney but a professional teacher, and I definitely appreciated her effective teaching style which made the class very enjoyable and the 3 hours seemed to go by very fast. Even after the class ended, Allison would answer my questions over email which helped a lot!

I loved the course and learnt quite a lot of tricks. Learnt so much about how to approach the exam. I took classes from Paul Fisher and I must say he is a fantastic tutor. Quite approachable and answers all your queries instantly. Apart from this I think number of classes should be increased. Rest everything is good.

Amazing!

I love the virtual classes. All of the instructors have been immensely helpful and have gone above and beyond to ensure the attendees understood the content being presented.

Dave M

Dave M. is a phenomenal instructor. The way he breaks down concepts and his study and process techniques really improved how I am performing on the GMAT. He's super willing to answer any questions before and after class and continues to be really great support post-class end as my GMAT exam comes up in the next few months. I really appreciate the care and attention he has for his students, and I wholeheartedly recommend his course. So far my score is up 130 points and I'm excited to see how much more I can improve.

Very well put together course that really helped structure my studying. Jamie was an amazing teacher and I would highly recommend taking her specifically!

Gave me the structure I needed

Gave me the structure I needed. My teacher was extremely helpful and made a lot of techniques click for me.

Keith was supportive and encouraging

Keith was supportive and encouraging. I watched him balance several personality types and levels of ability really well. I felt he was fair with his time. Most important to me, he was approachable. I am very happy with my score!

Good not Great

Felt the instructors didn't really talk to each other, as in they weren't sure what content the other instructor covered in the previous session. Very transactional relationship with one of the two instructors - didn't get the sense that he really cared about my progress.

Laura Damone is Fantastic

Laura Damone is a great tutor! As someone looking to get a high LSAT score, it was amazing to have an instructor that could explain difficult concepts in a familiar way. She was able to help me spot nuances in arguments and answer choices--as well as refining my strategy to become more efficient and consistent. I couldn't have scored a 177 without Laura!

Mark Sullivan is a GREAT tutor!

If you want a tutor who will help you maximize your time and meet you where you are at, then I highly recommend Mark Sullivan! In just 10 sessions spread across three months, Mark helped me raise my score by 110 points with a tailored study plan and helpful tips (600 first mock, 650 first official exam, 710 second exam). His background as a college professor allows him to cater to each student and adapt based on their individual needs. He truly listened to my questions and tailored each study plan and tutoring session to the areas I needed the most help with. In between sessions, he would provide a study plan with chapters to review, problem sets to complete, and other testing tips to hone. Scoring in the top 1% himself, Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and he will teach you how to approach the GMAT. He is encouraging and took the guesswork out of the process. He helped me figure out when to take practice tests, how to shape my studying, what to expect on test day, and how to cope with the inevitable testing anxiety. Mark has a long track record of helping students reach their target scores, and he is great at being flexible and taking your specific circumstances into account. I highly recommend working with Mark if you want to be successful on the GMAT!

Good quality

I took a GMAT course with Manhattan Prep and was pleased with the quality of instruction. My instructor kept me motivated and also helped to guide the program and even include tips for managing anxiety prior to the exam. The price was high but reasonable for the value. Manhattan Prep is great, and helped me in my career.

Provided necessary structure to my studies

I had tried to self-study for the GMAT before, but couldn't stay motivated and focused. By taking the complete course (online) with Tiffany, I was able to break down the GMAT study strategies and improve my score to meet my target. I took the class entirely online and I found it engaging and helpful.

Felt encouraged with Manhattan Prep

Overall, I am very happy with the service. The material was incredible (I loved the interact platform, the presentation, the huge amount to review, etc) and my instructor Whitney was technically outstanding and very supportive. I would definitely recommend it to a friend Quant preparation was splendidly comprehensive and had a very friendly approach. There was a lot of material to cover in the book and the interact platform had a clever way to make complex things simpler and easier to grasp. In addition, it has a step-by-step process that encourages the student to learn. However, despite verbal prep was really good as well I have a couple suggestions about it. I think more material may be helpful (The 5LB book contains way less Verbal than Quant and the Interact platform as well) and some questions that showed up in the official GRE were not specially similar to the material covered. For example, questions like "adding a sentence that completes a passage" (inference) or when the answer choices are hypothetical situations that illustrate a point or idea of the passage - I kind of feel I did not see them during the preparation In any case, I rate 5 stars the service for the quality of the course, the interaction with my instructor, a good customer service and especially for feeling your commitment to my success. Best regards from Bolivia and please tell Joe he is the coolest instructor ever! Rodolfo
