Hi,
Can I get some advice on which course to take:
Powerscore weekend course
Testmasters weekend course
buy only Manhanttan books (since course not offered in my area)
any other recommendations?
I really need help improving on the verbal section. Pls give me your opinions.
thanks very much

If verbal is your weak spot, then take Princeton Review. They are the best at verbal. A weekend course also won't help as much as a full-length one, because for verbal especially it takes continuous practice to see improvement, and with a full class you can get assistance as you progress (or regress, as the case may be!!!). I would only do a weekend class if you're generally already doing well across the board and just need a final nudge. If it's only one or two aspects of the verbal section that's getting you, then a tutor might make more sense, actually.
And of course, hang out here - lots of people here to help!

I would be very careful with the "weekend" courses. For most students, I believe these are really just a waste of time (although they might have a mild placebo effect). Preparation for these exams is a time-consuming process. Most short courses are just a recitation of platitudes about how to take standardized tests with insufficient time devoted to content.
For students completely unfamiliar with the concept of standardized tests they might have some utility but you could probably get the same effect by reading a few books and taking a few practice tests.
