To those of you that have opened this thread, I very much appreciate it. I am in quite a pickle.
I started self-paced study using the manhattan prep strategy guides in July, and things were going great (even went from 530-580 in a month) until September when I took my first mba.com GMAT and scored 530. I lost focus entirely in September and up until now when I officially decided that self-study is not going to be the way I get to my dream score of 740 and have a strong application for a top-15 MBA program. I am most hesitant on which course to purchase: ManhattanPrep or Kaplan. I already scheduled my first GMAT for the day before Thanksgiving (it was scheduled back in July) so Kaplan's differentiating factor of 'test-day experience' is not a huge deal-maker for me. I have experience an online Kaplan lesson which was great, and I have signed up for two free Manhattan Prep classes with two different teachers to be able to better choose who I may pick if I go with ManhattanPrep, but I wanted to ask the people of this forum for more opinions.
Obviously it comes down to personal preference, but to go from ~540 to 740 (or anything above 700 really) which would be recommended. I do not want to pay all of the money for a personal tutor as I have heard great success stories strictly from the online courses. Is there an alternate option beside Kaplan or MGMAT that I should consider?
THANK YOU!

"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."
