I have read that after the GMAT you are allowed to see your score (unofficial). Does that include the AWA portion? And if not, in the future when the score becomes "official" can it lower it? For example, if they say I have a 400, and I did really bad on the AWA portion, can my official score later become 350?

Thanks in advance for your time, help and answers.

When you finish your exam, you'll get your IR score, as well as your quant/verbal composite score. The AWA score will come with your official score report, which comes about 20 days after. And this score is completely distinct from the composite 200-800 score, so no, the AWA cannot negatively impact this figure.

"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."
