So I JUST got back from my gmat exam, just got in trouble because I was so excited, I wrote my score on my hand, which apparently i wasn't allowed to do. BUT I started studying 2 months ago, scoring a terrible 420 on my first test..and then I took about 6 practice tests after that, having trouble scoring even a 600 with my busy schedule. I'm not getting into an ivy league so I would have been okay with even a 550, which ended up being my goal. But after taking it today, I exceeded my expectations and got a 620! (Q43, V33), I know it's not up in the 700's but I am so proud and happy that I did way better than I thought. I cannot thank beatthegmat enough!!!!!!

Mags! Congrats! My goals are similar to yours. I bombed my pre-test and have felt really discouraged. I have been studying nonstop and hope when it's time to take another CAT practice I will increase. We will see what happens. This gives me hope.

Thanks guys! It was definitely very hard. I commute an hour to work both ways, so I had to study whenever I could. I studied on the train and at home and on my lunch breaks. I tried to do 2 hours each day for 2 months, I followed the 60 day study guide which REALLY helped me out. Then the last week before, I took the gmat prep 2 just once, did a little studying, went out with friends, and tried not to worry about it at all. I know I could've done way better on verbal, but it's good enough for me to get into my school so I'm happy with it! Alot of the reason why I think I bombed my practice ones was my environment. My house is never completely silent and I think I concentrated way better at the actual exam. I hope I can give you guys some hope, it can definitely be done!!!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
