I did some research before I took the GMAT, and it really comes down to Veritas versus Manhattan based upon what I found.
I used Manhattan, and if you do I'd recommend doing a few different things - be sure to make it through lots of questions, have your quant fundamentals down, and be sure to excel in the verbal sections because they're "weighted" more heavily. Additionally, I'd purchase the "Advanced GMAT Quant" book and work through as many of those problems as you can in the last few weeks before the exam if you're shooting for 700/720+.
Feel free to PM me if you have any other specific questions.
I used Manhattan when I took the test; now I tutor for Veritas. These are the only two resources worth your money. If you PM me I will give you a fair comparison.
I took the veritas prep course and used some Manhattan books to supplement. I generally like the veritas books more because they are way less wordy and have more of a learning by doing questions philosophy. That was way better for me than working my way through the very wordy Manhattan books. But in a few subjects I found Manhattan to be more thorough (specifically sentence correction) and that helped me take an extra step.
Both are good, but Veritas overall fit me more. There are also tons of resources (questions, tests, etc) that Veritas gives you with the class so that was a plus.

GMAT Prep Courses Does anyone know about Veritas Prep?>(Kaplan v. Princeton v. Veritas) (Originally Posted: 07/21/2010)
Hey everyone I have heard of Kaplan and Princeton but does anyone know about Veritas Prep... I have never heard of it.
I would suggest Manhattan GMAT, it worked well for me.
Veritas Prep gives 15 practice tests, Kaplan gives 9. I took the Kaplan course and it increased my score 100+
I've heard good thing about Veritas. I took Manhattan self-study it worked well for me. I would take either of them over a Kaplan or PR.
Veritas is about the same, maybe a bit better, than Manhattan. Both are leaps and bounds ahead of Kaplan/Princeton review. This applies to books as well as the actual courses - quality of questions in Kaplan/PR books is rather poor.
I took the Veritas courses and the main advantage according to me are the numerous mock tests (15). But they are easier for sure than the real test : I got until 750 in a Veritas mock test (and I scored > 700 for the others), but I got only 700 in the real test...

Anyone ever hear of them? On average, is there any value actually using a structured GMAT prep course? Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
