Crunched on time - which program better, Kaplan/Manhattan?

by seanbartel » Wed Dec 02, 2009 8:26 pm

I got three weeks before my test. My scores are good, but I want them better. Unfortunately, I don't have time for a prep course - I'm already in grad school and working a job. So I have two options online - Kaplan at $190 or Manhattan at $590. I've always heard Manhattan is better, buuuuuuuuuut that's a lot of money.

Thoughts? I've gone through the Kaplan book already, so I'm wondering if the Manhattan course might be better for that reason. However, $400 is a lotta $.

I haven't taken Kaplan so i can't vouch for their classes. I would go with Manhattan.

where did you see the Manhattan for $590? I took Kaplan and I don't think it's that good....

Guided self study from Manhattan. If it's as good as everyone says, I'm game, but $600 is a lotta money.
