Hey Guys,

If an essay has a word count max of 250 but I have said all I want to say in 170-200 words, will that reflect poorly on me? Is the expectation that I go to as close to the max as possible?

I am sure if you dig well into your past, you will get enough info to fill in.

I would recommend getting close to the mark. The essays are the only place to market yourself. Share as much info as you can.

All d best.

Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert.

"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."
