GMAT Prep Complete Course - Live Classes - Manhattan Prep (2024)

• Dive into Data Sufficiency problems, a cross between math and logic.
• Learn how the scoring algorithm works and what implications that has as you study for and take the GMAT Focus.
• Learn the building blocks of all Critical Reasoning problems—Conclusions, Premises, Counterpremises, Assumptions, and more.
• Gain an overview of your resources and homework so that you can make the most of your study time.
• Take your first practice exam.

• Fractions, Decimals, Percent, and Ratios (FDPR) underlie a lot of the math you do on the GMAT and in your everyday life. This first of two FDPR lessons covers the fundamentals for both the Quant and Data Insights (DI) sections of the exam. Also dig into Estimation, a game-changer on the GMAT.
• Learn how to analyze Reading Comprehension passages efficiently and tackle main idea and other big-picture questions about the passage.
• Dive into Tables, one of five DI problem types. Learn how to sort, eyeball, estimate, and manipulate voluminous data as efficiently as possible.

• Know the Code: How do you teach yourself to recognize—in less than two minutes!—what a problem is really telling you and what a problem is really asking you to do? Learn how to learn—how to decode problems and get yourself to takeaways that you can carry through to the real test.
• Algebra 101: This first of two Algebra lessons covers the foundations of algebra (equations, exponents, and more) and GMAT strategies (working backwards from the answers, trying real numbers, and more).
• Learn how to Find the Assumption, Strengthen the Argument, and Weaken the Argument on both Critical Reasoning (Verbal) and Two-Part (Data Insights) problems.

• Loop back around to Fractions, Decimals, Percents, and Ratios (FDPR): Dive into more complex topics, particularly around percents and ratios. Solidify your strategy skills—estimation, working backwards, smart numbers, and more.
• Get more specific on Reading Comprehension passages: Learn how to tackle detail, inference, and other specific question types.
• Use your new-found FDPR skills to tackle math-based Graphs, one of the five DI problem types; also gain a grounding in non-math-based Graphs.
• Boost your decision-making skills. Start doing sets of problems, rather than one at a time, to practice your time-management and prioritization skills.

• Expand your algebra skills to include quadratic equations, inequalities, functions, and more. (And continue to practice / solidify your earlier lessons across both algebra and FDPRs.)
• Inference shows up all over the exam, in nearly every problem type, so this week includes a short refresher on inference skills (using CR problems as the illustration), in preparation for next week’s practice exam.
• Multi-Source Reasoning is the ultimate blend of math and verbal skills—literally everything you’ve learned so far could show up on MSR. Learn how to tackle these overwhelming problems cleanly and effectively.

• It’s time for mid-term exams! You’ll take your second practice test after this class, so this entire lesson is devoted to mixed, random sets covering anything/everything, teacher’s choice. Come prepared for anything (that you’ve learned so far).
• We’ll also talk about time management, guessing strategies, when to move on—all of the strategic decisions you need to make during a test.

• This week’s math focus is Statistics and Stories: how to translate words into math, how to crunch numbers (fast!) without a calculator, and how to reason your way through a problem using the theory / concepts—so that you can avoid a lot of calculations in the first place.
• You’ve seen Verbal-based Two-Part problems before; now get ready to tackle Quant-based Two-Parts, including those with the dreaded “jointly consistent” characteristic.
• Learn how to analyze the data from last week’s practice test and come up with takeaways to carry forward in your studies.

• Dive deep into Number Properties—divisibility, primes, remainders, and other “fun” characteristics that can really mess you up when trying to solve. (Optional: If you like these two areas, learn how to tackle probability and combinatorics…but if you don’t—and most of us don’t—you can put these two content areas on your “guess fast and move on” list.)
• Tackle the CR “minor types”—these can show up on the test, but they’re less common, so you likely won’t see them all. This category includes Boldface, Evaluate, Discrepancy, Flaw, and Describe the Argument.
• Learn how to master Two-Part and Data Sufficiency logic-format problems—a subset of Inference in which you’re given a series of rules or constraints that you use to draw conclusions about what else either must or must not be true.

• This entire lesson is devoted to mixed, random sets covering anything/everything that you’ve learned during the course. You’ll take your third practice test after this session.
• We’ll also discuss the steps to take over the next few weeks to get yourself ready for your official exam. Think of this period as “finals week” or “reading week”—you’re going to review everything and take a few more practice tests before you take your final exam.

The Complete Course is fully comprehensive – it will review everything that is tested on the GMAT, with both Quant and Verbal topics covered in every single session. It is best for students who are just beginning their GMAT journey, have only done some preliminary studying on their own, or are looking to strengthen their skills in all aspects of the exam.

Students who are able to attend every class session will get the most out of the course. We offer the class both online and in-person, and recommend signing up for the option that is most convenient for you. There will be about 10-15 hours of homework assigned between class sessions, so you will want to make sure that you have the time in your schedule to commit to the suggested work.

If shipping books is not convenient for you, you may also opt to sign up for the class with eBooks only.

All students, both in-person and online, will have access to our On-Demand course – GMAT Interact. This program covers the same curriculum as the Complete Course, and is broken up into individual interactive lessons that are great for both reviewing material and making up any missed sessions.

All students will also have access to a complete set of recordings from a recent course, which covered the same topics in each session. If you miss a live session, you can log in to your Student Center on our website to access the prerecorded version. These recordings are made available immediately upon signup, so you can even plan ahead for a class you know you’ll be missing.
