Course Manhattan Prep Manhattan GMAT 9-Session In-Person Prep Course
Instructor Sage Pearce-Higgins
Location London, United Kingdom
After months of revision, I found myself plateauing. However much more revision I did, and time I spent, I just could not break past 620. Until a great instructor came to my rescue! Sage got me to completely rethink how I was revising; and (more importantly) how I was approaching the GMAT. Rather than accumulating knowledge, the vast majority of time was spent on strategies to tackle the exam: how to manage time, how to guess effectively, how to spot the easy answer route etc. The results paid off, and within 8 weeks, I finally got to my target score of 700. Thank you Sage.

This course was a crucial factor in helping me attain the GMAT score I needed to gain admission to all my target schools.
The 9 week course is a perfect pace to take you from understanding the basics of the GMAT exam, all the way through to mastering the more complex problems. The course is very well structured, including offering great guidance on how to structure your individual study time between classes.
Sage Pearce-Higgins, the class instructor, was extremely engaging. He has a fantastic ability to break down complex problems and leave you with takeaways to implement on examination day. He was also very helpful with any more detailed questions or clarifications that individuals had as we worked through the course material.
I wholeheartedly recommend this course.

I got 730 in the GMAT after taking the 10 week course with Ryan Starr. I had taken it twice before and I wish I had done the course earlier! Ryan has a great teaching style, he really knows his stuff so you feel confident in what you're learning and the classes are fun. The course covers all aspects of the GMAT from exam content to test day strategy to how to control nerves, so all bases are covered. If you want to get your best score then this is absolutely the course you should invest in, don't waste your time with anything else!

Course Manhattan Prep Manhattan GMAT 9-Session In-Person Prep Course
Instructor Ryan Starr
Location London, United Kingdom
I completed the 4-week bootcamp in London in December 2016 and took the GMAT 3 times after bootcamp, getting 720 (42 Verbal / 45 Quant) on the last try. What I loved about the bootcamp was that the classes were structured according to the actual GMAT timing - two ~75m sessions per day and during class we had 2 minutes to work out every question. We learned not only content but invaluable strategies and mindsets that were crucial to acing the test. After the bootcamp, students had access to various free one-on-one sessions (either via Skype or in person) where instructors helped to closely review our strengths/weaknesses and analyze our performance on practice/actual GMAT. I’d highly recommend bootcamp to those who prefer short and intensive studying and have time for a 4-week full-time immersion.

Instructor Sage Pearce-Higgins
Location London, United Kingdom
I had a great experience in my group GMAT class. Very effective for covering the fundamentals of the material tested on the GMAT, and our instructor Sage made the classroom a fun, collaborative environment. I would highly recommend the course as a thorough introduction to the material on the test. In addition, the course materials are extremely comprehensive and aided my further study significantly. The online practice tests to which you get access are invaluable in preparing. I also found the GMAT Navigator incredibly helpful. This product offers Manhattan GMAT explanations to Official Guide questions, often with explanatory videos. This helps make self study feel like a lesson with an instructor.

Instructor Sage Pearce-Higgins

I did the 9-session prep course and had an amazing experience with Sage and Ryan. The lessons are well structured, teachers are extremely smart, and are available for you (even outside the classroom). The classes are big enough so that there is strong group cohesion but small enough so that you can interact with everyone on a regular basis.
Plus, the tools and resources available to students are very helpful. Especially the software to take practice tests / questions, it helps practice and assimilate each topic addressed during the courses, it is very straightforward to use and actually very similar to the official test, which I guess takes away the element of surprise on D-day.
It's all well thought out and you have the option to take evening / weekend classes to accommodate around professional commitments.
I would highly recommend the 9-course program as it is structured to keep you focused and provides all the tools for you to succeed.

Based on my experience, Manhattan course is the best GMAT prep course out there. Before I started the Manhattan course, I was using Veritas Prep on demand and did not see huge improvement in my practice test scores.
I enrolled in the Manhattan GMAT 9 week prep course and I am finishing my preparation to enroll in the exam.
I attended all the classes and felt that they were a great supplement to my studying. I cannot recommend Manhattan Prep and instructor Ryan Starr enough. Ryan Starr is a fantastic teacher who genuinely cares about his students' performance. Ryan’s tricks and words of encouragement were incredibly helpful in improving my score.
In addition, the website is amazing - "homework help" hours, the on demand prep, the evaluation of the preparation – its making a huge difference.
I believe that the approach to learning that Manhattan Prep has created is what truly makes the course successful.
I can only think of good things to say about the company and the employees of Manhattan.
