Hello everyone,

I am looking to take an in-person Gmat prep course. To everyone who has taken any two of these courses, can you compare them? What did you like or dislike? Which would you say is the best? Thanks in advance.

Hi jaimito:

All three are great courses, but I am personally biased toward Manhattan GMAT. You can read my thoughts on Manhattan GMAT here, http://www.beatthegmat.com/discounts.html

There are a lot of folks on this forum who have shared great testimonials regarding the classroom course and virtual course.

Best of luck! Please let us know what you decide.

I did an online course, not a classroom course, but mine was great. I took Princeton Review. If the classroom instructors are anywhere near as good as the ones you can chat with online, then it would be awesome. The materials were amazing.

I took a Kaplan course, and took a few different teachers until I found a really excellent one. Overall, the review content is good, but I found I needed to create my own more tailored approach because my scores started out already in the 600s.

I think Kaplan Classroom is ideal for people starting out below 600 who need to review more basic material, or are not very familiar with standardized tests.
