GRE Online Courses – Advantages & Disadvantages

For many years, Manhattan Review has offered both in-person preparation courses and tutoring, as well as online prep. With the discovery of Covid in 2019 and the ensuing pandemic, the world experienced a global shift towards online learning options. While Manhattan Review will continue to offer in-person courses and tutoring in locations where there is ample demand, it is worth considering the advantages of online preparation options, in addition to where such services might fall a bit short of your needs or expectations. Here are a few advantages to online learning that are frequently mentioned to us by our online students:

More time to study

Travelling to a physical location to prepare for an exam is time consuming, and—thinking about the New York subway, the London Tube, or a car ride in LA—quite an inconvenient and potentially expensive undertaking. Many students are thrilled to ditch travel times and spend the time they've gained on what really matters, which is prepping for the GRE. Some students even choose not to participate in online classes at home, but rather enjoy learning at their favorite café or even from the office where they work. Whatever your preference, you can save yourself a lot of wasted time and unnecessary stress by utilizing online test prep options.

Increased flexibility

We all have busy schedules, whether that involves full-time work, more pleasurable leisure activities, responsibilities with family and friends, or running necessary errands. Trying to fit an in-person GRE preparation course into your routine can be daunting and sometimes may simply be impossible. Our online courses allow students to prepare for the GRE on their schedule. If you have questions or worry you aren't comprehending something, your instructor is always happy to assist you via email or during the next instructional session. Our online group courses are a perfect fit for students who are working or studying full-time but who are still very serious about attaining a stellar score on the GRE.

If an in-person class is offered at a specific location, this will typically occur at the same time every week. With our online courses, which follow the exact same syllabus as the in-person courses, you have the ability to choose between a variety of attendance and participation options, allowing you to select the one that best suits your personal schedule.

Lower Cost

While there are many advantages to opting for online GRE courses, perhaps the one that is most overlooked is the price. Since Manhattan Review does not have to rent expensive classrooms, we can pass on the savings to you, meaning our online course is offered at a significantly lower price with the same content as our in-person class. If you are looking for a budget friendly, high-quality option, then our online GRE prep course is the best choice for you and your test prep needs.

While there is plenty to like about online prep courses, there may also be some potential disadvantages. These are some concerns that are occasionally mentioned to us:

Lack of Social Interaction

There is something undeniably comforting and familiar about in-person interaction. It is a wonderful experience to grab a coffee or maybe a drink with your fellow prep classmates after a lesson where you can rave about the amazing Manhattan Review teacher you just had your lecture with. We fully understand that this satisfying feeling can hardly be replicated online.

Having said that, there are many ways you can connect with and get to know your virtual classmates online. One advantage of our online classroom is how easily breakout rooms can be created, enabling you to get to know more about your classmates as fast or faster than in a traditional classroom setting.

Dependance on Technology

Many students worry that they might not be able to install the required programs to participate in an online class session. While this could have been a legitimate concern years ago, technology has become so stable and easy to install that this is not a point of concern anymore. At Manhattan Review we use Zoom, a popular online teaching platform many participants already know from their work or academic studies. So, while there were valid concerns about online learning tech years ago, this is no longer an issue as systems become increasingly stable every year.
