Overall : 600
Overall Percentage Below : 67
Quantitative : 39
Quantitative Percentile : 62
Verbal : 34
Verbal Percentile : 72

I'm curious if anyone has any feedback how this translates to their real GMAT experience / GMATPrep? I've studied only from Kaplan GMAT Premier 2007 so far. Just bought OG 11's and working through it next week... planning to take GMAT in Oct.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Don't pay attention to your Kaplan scores--they are skewed much lower than what you can actually expect on your real exam. I think I scored a 580 on one or two Kaplan tests but ended up with a 700+ on the real thing. Dig through these forums and you'll find a lot of people with similar experiences.

As always, I agree with Eric. GMATPrep and Princeton Review tests are much better indicators.

"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."
