Manhattan Prep

I did my GRE prep at Manhattan Prep with Alex Southmayd as my instructor. He was fantastic - engaging, supportive and extremely knowledgeable about GRE - not to mention he has a 340 perfect GRE score. His teaching indicates why Manhattan Prep is one of the market leaders in standard exam prep courses. I highly recommend Manhattan Prep!

Manhattan private tutoring with Scott Miller raised my LSAT score from 168 to 180. This was my third time taking the LSAT, and I had tried other classes and study materials before (namely Kaplan). I think the key to raising your LSAT score is understanding your weaknesses, dissecting their root causes, and developing specific strategies to address those causes. Manhattan and Scott were excellent in this regard. The LSAT navigator identifies trends in the types of questions that you get wrong. Scott was masterful at responding to that information and working with me to understand how I typically approached questions where I was weak. We then zeroed in on the thought patterns or weaknesses in fundamentals that were leading me to incorrect answer choices. Scott then referred me to the appropriate areas of the Manhattan strategy guides and drill books that could address my weaknesses and help me practice the solutions. The Manhattan study materials are much more in-depth than Kaplan, which seems very cookie-cutter in a hindsight comparison. Beyond his didactic expertise, Scott helped build my confidence by harping on my strengths and breaking down my weaknesses into manageable areas for improvement. Confidence is absolutely crucial when it comes to tackling the LSAT, so the relationship with your teacher/coach cannot be underestimated. I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep and Scott Miller specifically!

I owe my success on the GMAT to the Manhattan Prep course. I went from a very unstructured and independent study plan to one that provided accountability, insight, and tactics -- all of which I would not have been able to obtain on my own. My score increased 80 points in 6 weeks, taking me to a 740 overall. I attribute this to this course and my instructor, Keith! Exceptional value!

Alex was an excellent and collaborative instructor, he never over-judged an action or idea. Alex was patient throughout his instruction, and managed to simplify some difficult concepts to me. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who is looking to kickstart their preparation for the GMAT.
