Hey guys,

I studied for the GMAT back in April and May but stopped due to going back to school and other priorities at work. Well I started back up again and got a 550 (32Q/34V) on the GMATPrep practice exam. I was fairly happy since I am applying to schools with an average GMAT score of 580 for its students but I want to get around the 600 score so it doesn't hurt me in the selection process. My question is "what is the best strategy to go from here?" I plan to take the GMAT either in mid-December or beginning of January so I don't have a big window to improve I know. I realize that I did horrible in Quantitative so that will be my main concern.

I have the Manhattan GMAT guides and the Official GMAT Review now. Is there anything else that is super helpful?

Thanks in advance.

"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."
