Hi guys

I am a 2nd year economics student in england and want to do the GMAT! I am planning to study for it over the summer holidays which should give me approximately 3 months. I wanted to know what is the difference between the online prep courses like knewton kaplan manhattengmat? I have been researching, researching and more researching...and I still have no clue who to sign up with. Would it be a good idea to buy all the 8 manhattengmat books and sign up to knewton? The videos on knewton look useful and apparently the manhattengmat books are the best? Please help this young lost soul!

Thanks so much

the 5 biggies are manhattan, knewton, kaplan, veritas & princeton. Each course has its pros and cons. Its upto you to decide what you are expecting from the course and choose accordingly. As for Kaplan, Dana recently wrote an article about Kaplan's new interface: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/01/ ... mat-course

"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."
