When you refresh, do you still have issues?

Yes, the problem persists even after refresh.

This looks like a CSS issue.

On the first load on FF, i had a similar problem. On Refresh, it went away.

netigen: one last thing, can you please try hitting CTRL + F5 on your keyboard? This should reset the cache on this site.

Let me know if that helps--thanks, and sorry for this trouble!

Thanks for letting us know about the problem. I'm working with Eric on making changes to the site.

I figured out what the problem's cause is. Many browsers cache the .css file and so don't display the changes that we made when we launched the new version tonight.

I've fixed it by changing the name of the .css so that your browser should load the new file. We'll be changing the name of the .css whenever we upload new versions of the site. So you shouldn't see this problem again.

Please let me know if you do see this issue again, though. Thanks.

"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."
