I have not been in touch with studies for 6 years. After my masters in stats, I have been working with a Market Research organization. My acads are okay, but nothing exceptional, and I am targeting the top 20 B Schools. I have set for myself a target of 720 in GMAT.

I am open to any kind of preparation method as long as it gets me my target score. Please let me know your thoughts.
Just to add to what I have stated, my verbal is not too strong and I scored 26 in my diagnostic test.

I have been taking Manhattan GMAT for about 5 weeks (out of the 9 week course) and it has been very worth the money so far! I'm glad I invested in it! The teachers are great and you can interact with them as well as you would if in a real classroom. Best of luck!

I have recently subscribed to Optimus after much research, and I must say I am more than happy. I tried several different materials from different companies. Each has their strength, but something was lacking in every course I tried. Kaplan's verbal is good, but quant is not so much. Manhattan is okay, but somehow the progress from easy to the harder levels is not smooth.
Optimus has a good balance in both the sections, and the difficulty level of problems gradually increase (as per my experience till now). The explanations are really good, though I haven't tried my hand at the tests(full GMAT tests, I mean).
Too early to say, but I think my investment is worth it. Price wise also it makes sense.
