GMAT Strategy

Hi - you can sit in on one of our class sessions for free and check the class out for yourself. Go to the course section of our website for details (www.manhattangmat.com).

Just FYI, most courses run for 8-10 weeks and it's already early April. (In other words, finishing by mid-May is unlikely.)

Ah, I see. We do also offer a self-study package that allows you to view tapes of the classes instead of having live instruction - you can find the details on our web site. Even then, I wouldn't recommend doing the course in less than 9 weeks. There's a LOT of work associated with each class and you need to give your brain time to process all of the info. For each 3 hour class, there's something like 10 to 20 hours of homework.

Yes, both are the same thing and you will have access to the material for 3 months for either one.

I STRONGLY recommend the 9-week course over the bootcamp. Bootcamp should only be for people who cannot do the 9-week course for some reason. Studying for this test is an immense amount of work.

The boot camp is usually only offered about once every three months in New York. If you don't see a date listed on the web site, you are either not in New York (and therefore not looking at the NY-based list of classes) or there's not one coming up in the next 2 months. You can contact the office (800.576.GMAT or [email protected]) if you want to ask when they plan to schedule the next one. They'll also be able to tell you the pricing; I'm just a lowly instructor and don't know that stuff.

But really? Don't do the boot camp. I think it's more expensive anyway and you'll learn better if you spread it out over a more reasonable length of time.

Glad to hear it! Let us know how it goes!
