SChool selection relies on fit, and fit relies on three key areas: personal, professional and academic. From a personal perspective, you must fit within the school's philosophy and culture. How do the students interact with each other? Do you prefer a collaborative or competitive environment? For professional fit, you must look at the placement of graduates and see if any go on to thrive in your desired area of employment. What is the school known for in the recruiter world? Finally, for academic fit, you must be in the "ballpark" with GPA, undergraduate degree prestige and GMAT score. These three key areas will help you begin to narrow down your schools. What are you interested in doing post MBA?

"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."
