I started Manhattan first, still wasn't getting it after going through the three books. I think they were good in that they gave me lots of practice, but I learned a lot of the neat tricks in logic games and LR from 7SAGE, everything started to click. I am still going through it, not done with the course. I now complete LG with -0, most of the time it's -1 through -3. but that's way better than what I used to get, which was like -12 and running out of time. for reading comprehension, well that's a different story. But everyone is different, I learn better when I watch the videos vs studying the books. try it for free, then decide., but I think it's worth it, if you have the time to go through it.

Just to clarify the conversation, there are a bunch of types of online learning, from cheapest to most expensive (though prices vary):

1. Video explanations (explanations for games, generally)
2. Instructional video lessons (video, or sometimes low-fi Khan-academy style)
3. Instructional video course (similar to #2, but includes books)
4. Interactive video course
5. Live online course in which you're actually working with a teacher)

There's a real difference in these different programs. Explanations vs. interaction, etc. Personally, MLSAT focuses on #4 and #5, but if you can get what you need from a cheaper program, go for it.

It wasn't a slight at MLSAT, I actually think your books are the best around....I was just saying for my learning style, 7sage fit better

No, no, I didn't think there was any criticism intended (though everyone should feel free to point out strengths and weaknesses of all the different programs), I was just trying to help the OP understand the landscape.

Online courses are actually exploding in popularity and enrollments because of their flexibility and the ability to re-watch the lessons after you've gone through them once. We're seeing a ton of growth in ours; I'd imagine others are seeing similar increases.

The important thing to remember is that online courses aren't better/worse than live ones - they're just different. There are a lot of different offerings that have different features, and you should find the one that matches what you want to get out of a course.
