Chris Gentry was a fantastic tutor and GMAT advisor. First of all, Chris is a verbal whiz, he was able to raise my verbal score from a measly 31 to a 40+ in just a few sessions. His sessions are carefully thought out and he does his best to personalize the experience. My problem with quant was more on the strategy side than the material. Chris helped me formulate a strategy that raised my score from a 44-46 to a consistent 48+. Additionally, Manhattan Prep offers fantastic quantitative prep work. Their questions are as challenging as can be and the best way to quickly improve your quant score.

All in all - fantastic tutor, fantastic material. I was able to raise my score from 580 to 710 in just a few weeks!

I took the 9-week MPrep in-person course and found it helpful at establishing a basic structure around my preparation. The online videos, HW assignments, and in-person lectures are great to get you acquainted with the types of problems tested in the GMAT. However, its worth noting that the course alone is not sufficient in getting you a very high score. From my personal experience, my score only jumped 30 points at the end of the course (650 to 680), but studying for ~7 weeks on my own post-course helped get me in the 730+ range and eventually end up with 760 on the actual test.

I'd recommend the MPrep course (esp the Verbal material), but would caution that you'll still need to prep on your own for 1-2 months (daily) if you're shooting for a very high score. The website material is great and the answer explanations are decent -- they'll continue to come in handy after the end of the course.

I would definitely recommend my instructor Chris Gentry without any reservations.

The course was delivered efficiently through the Blackboard portal with an interactive website to get all the material for preparation. Paul was a calm and efficient instructor who knew exactly how to pace the lessons. The course is expensive but it is well worth the price as it will provide the advantage on test day over other people who did not have the specific instructions from certified instructors to take the exam. The GMAT interact service is essential to success. Also, homeworks assigned were adequate for practice. Highly recommend Manhattan for GMAT prep. Books are comprehensive, and the tutoring was personalized, insightful, and data-driven . Reached my target score in record time and will look forward to applying.

My score is testament to Chris' phenomenal talent as a tutor. I took his GMAT class in addition to private tutoring. Having a time and quant intensive job, he was quickly able to identify my weaknesses, teach me powerful test taking strategies, and was incredibly patient throughout the 8 months it took me to prepare for the GMAT. Furthermore, after a few tough practice tests, he was constantly thinking of ways to help me achieve my goals even when I was ready to give up. He consistently offered creative solutions and was always responsive. Overall, my score improved 100+ points from my first practice test and I am able to apply to all of my dream schools. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough.
