Hi,

I have spent the last few months seriously studying for the GMAT. I purchased the entire mgmat book set and did all the CATS (twice). I started with 610 then avg'ed around 690 hitting 730 3 times.

I just took the gmat today and scored a 630. I believe I may need structure and a course to help me achieve my 700+ target score. However I dont simply want a repeat of the material, and are there any more tests I could do?

Hi zueswoods,

On the right-hand side of the CAT Exams & Diagnostics page you should see a link entitled Additional CAT Exams, which will lead you to a discount code for another company's exams.

Aside from plugging exams over and over, make sure you exhaust all the other resources - Question Banks, material in the guides, resources found on www.mba.com - to make sure you cover all your bases and problem areas.

Best,
Shan

Hi Shan,

Thanks for the response, however what about if I decide on taking the course? Is there a vast difference from the course and the course books?

Hey,

The course teaches the same material you find in the books but in a structured way and with the help of a 99th percentile instructor and other resources. Some students find that they have trouble structuring their studies on their own so they take a course with us or our self-study program (which includes class videos and a syllabus). If you enroll in one of these courses, you may also be able to get a credit for the books you already own. If you'd like more information, feel free to give us a call at 800-576-4628 and we'll be happy to help you out.

Best,

"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."
