I have read a lot of good things about both companies. I would like a program that starts with the basics, but progresses to quite difficult material. I want to score 650+

I am looking for online self-paced prep course. I have a good 3-5 months before I have to test, and I have a fair bit of verbal knowledge after comprehensive LSAT prep.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I haven't taken the Knewton course, and I only read the Manhattan GMAT books, and did their online tests. However, my thought is that the Manhattan GMAT has been around for awhile now, has been edited a fair number of times, and has a solid track record. Knewton is still fairly new which could mean they are still working out some bugs (I saw that they are paying students who just took the GMAT $100 to analyze their tests and that tells me they aren't done fixing their tests.)

Thanks for the inquiry.

We like to believe that we offer students the best GMAT prep experience possible. We are indeed somewhat new, but we are built for the web and we work around the clock to deliver the best teachers and technology to our students.

You should join our free trial and have a look around:

In terms of the $100 offer to take our tests, I am leading that effort and can say that the only reason for the study is that we want to expand our CAT pool and offer even more practice tests to our students in the near future.

"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."
