Manhattan LSAT

Love ManhattanLSAT!
Recently completed the intensive course with Isaac and I cannot express my gratitude. He’s succinct, engaging, professional, hilarious and open to feedback. Easily one of the best teachers I’ve come across over the past decade.
The program is concise with online classes also available in case anything is missed or needs to be reviewed later. There’s no guesswork involved – it’s easy to find your strengths and weaknesses (and then improve on them before test date). Also, there’s numerous online resources (LSAT interactive, games etc.). I can literally retake the course online.
The office, run by young professionals, has a mellow atmosphere and is well-​organized. Students in other courses seem to be content to be there, so overall welcoming atmosphere… plus free coffee.
Well worth every penny.

This is a great class for several reasons: It’s small — about eight people in my class, there’s a ton of homework, and the teachers (and everyone else working there) are friendly and helpful. Manhattan’s process breaks down the test not so that you can weasel your way through, but so that you are able to understand each section as best you can and study accordingly.
I would take this class if you, like me, have been out of school for a few years but your brain hasn’t gone soft. They stress that the goal is 170+.
Within my first two weeks of class, my score improved by eight points. Fallacy of causation? Probably not. I’m confident that if I don’t score in the 170s in February, Manhattan did all they could, and it’s on me.
I didn’t give five stars because the homework review books are rife with typographical errors (not just typos, but entire conclusions in explanations carelessly copied and pasted from the wrong question) that will confuse the less careful student; and because of the following:
I must mention this because it cracks me up/​infuriates me. Whoever compiled the practice material is quite the Ayn Rand enthusiast. Problems of state control, ‘restricted’ ‘markets,’ individual profit vs. societal gain, etc. were inserted into practically every possible practice section; one reading comprehension section I finished just now cautioned against government donations to charity. To me, the weirdness of all this stands on its own without going into the utter moral bankruptcy of the beliefs involved.
It’s ironic, since a group of thoughtful people are clearly behind Manhattan’s overall process. I highly recommend Manhattan if you’re in the market and don’t want to be in a massive class. I’ve also heard first-​hand accounts that some other companies don’t even teach reading comprehension, which seems dumb to me. May as well have all your bases covered.

When I decided to study for the LSAT, I did not initially intend to take a prep course. I participated in a free trial of the first session of Manhattan LSAT’s online course, and was so impressed that I knew I needed to sign up. I am so glad that I did. I ended up scoring over 10 points better than my initial practice test, well into the 99^th percentile.
I fully agree with the previous reviewer — Manhattan LSAT’s strengths are their straightforward approach and the quality of their instructors.
The online format was great– an easy adjustment for anyone familiar with virtual conferencing, and very convenient. The instructors did a great job of keeping everyone engaged in this format.
I cannot recommend Manhattan LSAT highly enough.
