I was trying to put my answers for the math diagnostic section into the Excel spreadsheet provided for the "GMAT Progress Chart" and it seems that the answers don't line up. The plan states the spreadsheet works for OG 2013 or 15 "Complete the math diagnostic test on pages 20-26 of the Official Guide for GMAT Review, (2015 edition or 13th edition)" but I don't believe this is the case. Anybody know if there is a different spreadsheet for 2015?

Thanks!

The spreadsheet doesn't cover the Diagnostic test, sorry.
You'll have to find the correct answers on the answer key.

Cheers,

Ah okay, thanks Brent. Day one it states: "Use the Answer Key on page 45 to determine your score, and use the Interpretive Guide to help gauge your current mathematical abilities. Record the diagnostic test results into your GMAT Progress Chart." Just a little confusing.

Ahhh, I see what's up.
You're confusing the Improvement Chart with the Progress Chart.
The Improvement Cart allows you to enter your responses for the OG practice questions.
The Progress Chart has a column for Diagnostic test results.

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
