Any opinions? Both seem very adequate to get me to my target goal. Does either prep course have an advantage?
I don't think any of us have taken both, so it would be hard to truly compare. PR's has an online demo you can check out. I don't know if Manhattan does, but I would imagine so. You can do the demos and get a better feel for what to expect, along with comparing what they offer side by side (they should both have a list of features on their sites).
I did PR's online course and would highly recommend it. Here are some highlights:
~ Customized lessons based on how you are doing. I can't tell you how awesome this is!!! You can do any of the drills at any time, as well.
~ Real-time chat with instructors, 24 hours a day. Again, AWESOME. They are very knowledgeable and eager to help.
~ OG comes with the course, along with PR's workbooks.
~ It is surprisingly engaging and interactive. I am easily distracted online and it held my attention.
~ The strategies go deeper than the Cracking book and are extremely useful.
~ They save your results from each test, so you can really see how you're progressing over time. You can look at specific questions and explanations any time you want.
~ The guarantee is very flexible...if you don't like your score after you do the course, you can do it again for free, even if you still had a good increase. If you don't improve, you can actually get a refund if you don't want to take the course again. That is pretty cool.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
