Has anyone taken the ManhattanPrep courses for GMAT? Considering taking the 9 week class, is it worth it?

I did the self paced at home and thought they were really good. Live class will only be worth it to the extent you can really put in the effort to study and not get behind. But also a good forcing function.

I've heard its pretty much the same as the books. In fact, they'll assign readings from the book as homework, so I think if you have enough discipline to hunker down and read you can save yourself the money.

I have the books if you want to buy them post a burner

I have a friend who took the classes many years ago and he said they were very good. Raised his scores

I took the classes and they were good for understanding how the test works. However I think if you do the test sets out of the big book and teach yourself what went wrong it has the same effect

I really liked this course! The questions and tests are actually harder than the real thing, so you feel confident on test day. It works.

Economist course is better

Yes it's worth it!!

The in person classes are worth it! Don't focus on reading the books though, just do 50 problems per day (35 verbal and 15 math) and review the answer explanations in depth

Agree with P3. Good material but make sure you can dedicate the time

It’s the best there is! A tiny bit harder than actual GMAT in my opinion - which makes it very effective as it preps you for what to expect like nothing else would

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
