I am signed up to start a Manhattan GMAT course on 1/5/2013. Since its the holidays and work is slow, I wanted to get a head start on the math, since I know this will be my weak spot. I am through Day 8 on the Beat the Gmat study guide, and I am realizing a major slow spot for me is my mental math. I am realizing how much faster I will be able to go by working on knowing a lot of basic math known by memory. My question is, in these 8 days prior to my class beginning, is it a better use of my time to stick with the BTG study guide, knowing that I will be starting my class, or should I focus on mental math drills that gets my brain used to numbers and the relationships they have with one another?

"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."
