Hi,

I appeared for GMAT on 29th Jan 2011 and scored a meagre 620 my score in Qunats was 49 and in verbal 24. I was completly disturbed by the score, in the MGMAT practise test i used to score around 620-670 and just wanted to score around 700+, but i think I would like to give a final shot at GMAT and want to know how I can get a score of around 740, the books that i had refered was OG and the entire series 4 of MGMAT series. please suggest what books I should refer to improve my scores in both the sections. I want to go for the best MBA schools in the world like Harvard, Boston and LBS. please advice

regards
Vishal Jain

I've been told that the power score verbal bible is a great resource for improving verbal score. I'm still making my way through the Manhattan GMAT material so i haven't gotten to this book yet, but it's been recommended to me multiple times.

Also, do you log your errors. You should download the BTG error log, so you can track your strengths and weakness and concentrate on the areas you need the most helpful with.

"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."
