I took the two-week GMAT bootcamp with the tutoring package and in 7 weeks went from a 590 to a 730. I worked a lot with Reed Arnold who was a fantastic tutor - really made the process fun and like a game that could be beaten!

Amazingly clear explanations!

As much as MPrep helped me achieve a 20-point LSAT increase, the lion's share of the credit rests with Allison Bell, specifically. In taking the time to review concerns or problems I had with specific questions or question types, Ally didn’t just explain how to arrive at the right answer. She put herself in my shoes to help me identify my specific errors along my reasoning path. This may seem like a small detail but it made the course worth its weight in goal. Although important to understand *how* to arrive at the right answer, books or videos can show you this. The attention and review Ally gave me outside the formal confines of the course time helped me identify *my* specific errors in reasoning, logic and judgement. That feedback and “seeing where *I* went wrong” is largely responsible for my score jump. Ally being an extremely understanding and approachable instructor made all the difference in fully leveraging her offer to review my particular mistakes before/after class and by email. I cannot overstate my recommendation that you take her course and make full use of the individualized feedback and attention she gives to her students.

I had a great experience with MPrep. I tried many other methods of studying for the LSAT prior to enrolling (including self-studying, Mike Kim's, group classes, etc), but nothing was as useful as this course. I took the exam a year apart and got an 11 score increase. My instructor was Ally Bell and she was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable and always had great tips and tricks up her sleeve that I actually put to use on test day. Her teaching method was very approachable and handy. I highly recommend her and this course!

After four months of self-study, I enrolled in Manhattan Prep’s full LSAT course and tutoring sessions with Laura Damone. My score increased by 15 points, and the course has changed the way I think. Laura is an engaging and extremely talented instructor, and even with post-2020 screen fatigue, I actually looked forward to the three-hour Zoom classes. Manhattan Prep’s course helps you recognize patterns and LSAT tricks, and during the lessons, Laura helped me tailor specific strategies to think through them. As someone who struggles with test anxiety, going into the LSAT with these approaches was a game-changer. When I was so confused by passages that I couldn’t articulate a coherent question, Laura broke down the problems and provided drills to cement the lesson. Manhattan Prep’s books were helpful too—they’re well-organized and clear. But on test day, it was ultimately Laura’s voice in my head. If you have the chance to work with Laura, do it.

I am so glad that I enrolled in the Manhattan Prep course and in Annie Levin's class. My LSAT score increased 7 point in just 2.5 months which has made all the difference for me. Before Manhattan Prep, my preparation included LSAT Podcasts, Reditt forums, useless LSAT softwares provided by many, irrelevant YouTube videos, and and the many books out there. However, I was amazed on how structured and professional the Manhattan prep course was. All their books and course are seamlessly interlinked. I learned so much in those 2.5 months that I wholeheartedly recommend everyone taking a professional course and learn the right way. Additionally, I also took one on one coaching from Annie. I will always be greatfull to Annie for the teachings and wisdom. Her techniques to manage exam anxiety worked very well. LSAT is a marathon and Annie's techniques are excellent!

LSAT review: I enrolled in Annie's class after studying for about a month and increasing my diagnostic score of 152 by only one point. I cannot recommend Manhattan Prep, and Annie specifically, high enough! She was engaged, helpful, and accessible. Both during the class and after she was quick to respond to questions by email and offer her support. Her dedication to helping people navigate standardized tests and not letting the LSAT get in the way of attending their dream school was abundantly clear. When I finally took the LSAT, I scored twenty points higher than my diagnostic score. It would have been much more difficult, time-consuming, and anxiety-producing to reach the 170s without Annie and MP!

This was excellent preparation for the GMAT! I'll be honest the sticker shock of this program was concerning at first, given that there is no guarantee that you'll get the score that you want. But, Manhattan Prep really does give students that tools to develop a proper study program, hone test taking skills, and recreate test conditions that assist you in feeling confident and prepared for test day. The biggest piece of advice that I can offer in using this program is take advantage of the post-exam review with an instructor. Being able to develop a review strategy for your second attempt at the exam was invaluable. I felt so much more confident going into my second exam thanks to that 1:1 review. Ultimately, I scored high enough to get into my target school, University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
