Hello,
I've decided that I want to take a prep course as part of my GMAT preparation. I also think an online type would suit me better because I travel for work frequently.
I can't decided between the
Manhattan GMAT Live online, or GMAX online. I've read several good reviews about GMAX, but does anyone have any thoughts on the Manhattan Live online? Supposedly, you watch 9 lectures, just like the regular in-person course, and if you miss it, you have the video available to you to make up. I'd just like anyone's feedback or comments on the
MGMAT online because I haven't seen any. Your insight is much appreciated! Thanks.
Also, for GMAX, I understand it's self-pace, but what is the "typical" length to complete all the classes, and how is homework assigned?
Thanks.
Since you asked about
MGMAT's online course, I'll give you my feedback on that. I thought their course was excellent. I'm sure GMAX is just as good, but I have no experience to back that up.
I've also taken both Kaplan's and Princeton's traditional classroom courses, got their study guides etc, and still feel I got a superior learning experience from
MGMAT's online course.
One big benefit to
MGMAT's online courses are the teachers go over strategies not in their guides (and frankly not in any Kaplan, Princeton, or ETS guides I have). While none of these may increase your score by 200 points (i.e. from 530 to 730), I found out they made a measurable increase in my scores as well as reduced my study time.
Another benefit is all
MGMAT classess are recorded and reviewable 3 months after the course ends. I don't know about you, but things really sink in when I take good notes and being able to review a class really reinforces what I need. Also, reviewing previous classes helps me shore up weak areas I've identified with my
error log.
Hope that helps and feel free to shoot any questions to me. By the way, I'm just a past student of
MGMAT, not a teacher, director, or any connected role like that.
