There are now a LOT of posts on this forum, and I'm getting feedback from many of you that it is increasingly difficult to navigate through all this rich material.

Consequently, I'm running an experiment right now to test a Google Search engine for the Beat The GMAT! Forum. All of you are familiar with Google and understand how it is a powerful way to organize data--I've been able to adapt this search engine to query specifically the material found on this website.

Check it out for yourself--try a search for "gmat flashcards"--it should bring up the Beat The GMAT! GMAT Flashcards in a FLASH!

I'm always trying to solve for your ease of use. I'd love to hear your feedback on this new technology for the forum. Thanks!

Just wanted to also point out that this forum's built in search engine is very good as well: https://www.beatthegmat.com/search.php

Great way to search by post title or author.

"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."
