GMAT 9-Session Prep Course

by greenskittle » Fri Mar 27, 2009 8:05 pm
Hi!!!

I'm interested in signing up for a prep course this summer. I'm wondering what are the differences between the live and online class, regarding the material and teaching style. Also, what are some pros and cons?

Thank you!

Hi greenskittle,

Of course, the main differences between the in-person class and the live online class is that for the former, you get a single teacher in a physical classroom, whereas for the latter, you get two Instructors in a virtual classroom. The teaching style is exactly the same. More importantly, though, the content is exactly the same as well! You get the same 8 Strategy Guides, 3 Official Guides, 6 Practice Exams, Question Banks, Online Labs, and Class Recordings. However, I will note that one other key difference is that you can make up in-person classes by attending another section, but to make up an online class, you get to watch a recording of the same exact session that you missed - unfortunately, you can't switch into another section.

That's about it! Of course, there is a substantial price difference. The in-person course is $1490 in most places and the online course is $1090. For a demonstration of the online platform, visit this page: https://www.manhattangmat.com/online-question.cfm. Hope this helps!
