I tried studying using the Manhattan books and even Kaplan but once I start doing the computer adaptive testing practices, I just can't do it. The sand timer thing makes me nervous and I can't think!

What's the best tool for strategies to smoke the GMAT? I really need to do well as I am desperate to get into B School. I am not young anymore

Thanks.

It is often difficult for test-takers to focus on questions and not get distracted by the clock ticking. What you can do is check your progress with every five questions. This way you won't lose concentration. Each question should take you more or less 2 minutes (in the verbal section it is slightly less than 2 min, whereas in the quant section you have a bit more than 2 min per question). Solving 5 questions should take about 10 minutes, which is easy to follow and remember.

"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."
