Testmasters is pretty new to the GMAT, so I would not put them above Princeton Review. I personally prefer PR's methods and tests to Kaplan's, so I would suggest them over Kaplan for a course, but I don't know anyone who's taken a TestMasters class.

Thanks for the reply. I just noticed that Testmasters requires instructors to be in the 99 percentile and they offer over 60 hrs of live instruction.

That's good, but being in the 99th percentile doesn't mean you can teach. Quite a few people who score that high have an intrinsic ability but a lot of them can't turn around and explain how to do the same yourself. I had a physics teacher in high school who was clearly brilliant, but the worst teacher I ever had. Testmasters instructors could very well be great, but don't put too much stock into that 99th percentile thing.

Awesome post cashmere. Having a 99th percentile score means that the person is either very smart or studied a lot. It does not mean that they can teach. It also does not mean that they will be/are good businessmen/women, but that's an argument for another day!

LOL that's so true. I've worked with some MBA grads who had terrible people management skills, others who were great with people but clueless about accounting principles, etc. An MBA does not guarantee someone will be good at their job.
