Manhattan Review

by neeti2711 » Fri Jun 02, 2017 12:47 am
I have recently started solving SC questions from Manhattan Review. I find these questions more difficult than questions from other GMAT prep materials.

Can anyone please vouch for Manhattan Review's accuracy and the quality of questions?

Thanks in advance!

I believe that this is part of Manhattan's overall strategy for test preparation. Both the verbal and math questions are more difficult than the real thing. I believe the thought is that if someone can do Manhattan's questions, the GMAT will be a piece of cake.

Please be careful - when people refer to "Manhattan" tests and questions on this forum, it is implied that they are referring to Manhattan Prep (formerly known as Manhattan GMAT), as we were first to use the name, and are the best-known and best-rated preparation program in the industry.

I can attest that anecdotally, many people find Manhattan Prep quant questions to be slightly more difficult than OG / real test questions. Our verbal questions are generally judged to be on par with the difficulty level of the real thing.

This student was asking about Manhattan Review. I cannot vouch for either the quality or the difficulty level of those questions.
