Excellent, please do when you are ready. Is there much overlap with your flashcards vs. mine?

All the best!

Hi Eric,

Just wanted to mention that I came across a couple of paradoxical statements in the flash cards. On page 15 "Target to" is being suggested & in page 20, "Target at" is suggested as an idiom. I think "target to" is incorrect. Please correct the same.

Regards,
Vemuri

I also think "target to" is incorrect, but maybe it depends on context? do the cards give rule incontext (ie with examples)

Here's a response to this question I got from Stacey:

***

Hmm, let's see. The gun is targeted at you. That's a good target to choose. Those are both okay.

In general, I'd guess that "target at" should be followed by a noun ("at" is a preposition) and "target to" should be followed by the infinitive form of a verb ("to choose"). I don't know whether those would be universal rules or just "often but not always." (Though, in English grammar, it seems there's an exception to just about everything if you look long enough!)

***

I haven't released the updated flashcards yet for download. Another member noticed an issue with the formatting of these cards, which I'm trying to fix.

Thanks!

"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."
