Hi All,

I was doing pretty well studying the OG and taking the GMAT Prep tests. THen I decided to study from the Kaplan GMAT 800.

The quant was good and challenging enough to be interesting and tough at the same time, the 8 SC hints and tips were also good.

But the CR is crazy.. Im doing it right now and I have a success rate of 50%. It's just so tough.

Does everyone else also think so? What would your %age of correct answers be? I feel pretty low thinking that Im doing something wrong.

In my practice tests, it was mostly SC I was getting wrong but now it seems that my CR is worse.

Please let me know what you think of the GMAT 800 CR.

THanks in advance!

Don't let your performance in GMAT 800 bring your spirits down. The book is ridiculously tough, and for the most part much more difficuult than what you should expect on the real GMAT.

I did really poorly throughout GMAT 800 yet still scored a 700+ on the real test.

Best of luck!

"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."
