I am planning to retake iy in four weeks and was wondering if it would be a good idea to take the week end preparation of Manhattan..do they have a strategy or what to get scores of 680 and above.
i don't want to waste time and especially MONEY that why if someone has already take this prepa plz let me know..and tell me in what way was helpful for you!!! I don't need someone to tell me about the GMAT, how does it go and so on...you understand, I know what does the test look like...
Thx

Hi, please be aware that we don't offer a week-end course. I believe there's a company called Manhattan Review or something like that and they do a week-end course, but that's not our company. I have no idea as to the validity of their course, but I am generally skeptical of any "cram" course.

My company actually does a 2-week "cram" course and, whenever people ask me about it, I tell them only to consider that course if they absolutely cannot take a regular course, but if there is any way to take a regular course, they should do that instead. (In fact, we only offer the cram course a couple of times a year, right before applications are due, for people who are desperate.)

Cramming for anything is just not going to make a big difference.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
