By place, do you mean a physical place you go to, like a testing center? Or do you just mean the tests?

So far I have taken GMATPrep and Princeton Review tests and thought they were very similar. GMATPrep is supposed to be the best because they're the official tests. I have not read good things so far about Kaplan here and don't know much yet about Manhattan GMAT. I hadn't heard of them before coming here. Are they new?

If you are referring to a physical place to take these practice exams--I recommend a somewhat busy area of a public library. That's where I did my own prep, and it really helped me to get used to ambient noise.

And if you are talking about what specific exams to take, I generally recommend to my students that they save their GMATPrep tests for later - you only get two clean tests.

So, of course, I recommend that my own students take one of our own exams first...

And to the poster asking about ManhattanGMAT, we were founded in 2000. You may not have heard of us because we only do the GMAT - we don't do SAT, which is where most people first hear about the major test prep companies.

"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."
