Prep Course Stretegy

Hey guys,

I'm new to these boards, and I wanted to get some advice on prep course strategy.

I've done a good amount of research and I am pretty convinced I want to enroll in Manhattan GMAT's prep program. Unfortunately, their in-person courses are few and far between in my area. As of now their only in-person class is scheduled to start in 2 weeks.

From what I've heard it's best to take a practice test, get a feel for your strengths/weaknesses and choose a prep program accordingly. But with such a fast approaching start date at MGMAT I'm afraid I couldn't get a real solid GMAT practice test in to gauge if MGMAT is appropriate for me. I wouldn't know where I need to concentrate on AND wouldn't have a chance to sit in on a free class to see if the teaching structure best fits my ability to learn.

B/c of this I've been looking at what Kaplan has to offer. Their classes start every month or so making it convenient for me, but I hear they're material is sometimes iffy.

My main question is:

Is the MGMAT prep course strong enough that I could walk in close to completely unprepared and learn effectively to take down the gmat? B/c otherwise I'll have to wait it out for another in-person class or go to Kaplan
