I wanted to post here in order to possibly help out the community i think was so helpful to me.

I have been lurking these forums for the last 2 months as i prepared for the gmat, took it, and then prepared again and took it again. This site has been a great resource for me and i thank you all for your help.

My two cents:

buy a manhattan gmat guide....just so you have access to their cat exams...take all of em....take all of em again..
download powerprep.....take the 2 cats...take them again.
Download gmat prep...take the 2 cats...take em again....take em again.

This was my strategy...take test after test until i started getting the scores i wanted. The trend i saw was that i got about 20 points lower on the actual test then i did on the gmatprep software.

Hope this helps you guys...

Thanks

Congratulations on cracking a great score! .. can you share how actual Verbal and Quant turned out for you in comparison to other prep tests ( GMATPrep in particular ) .

Would appreciate your views

Cheers !

Well gmat prep scores were pretty close to my actual scores....i usually score around 44ish on verbal and i was scoring 48ish on the quant. I think the reason for my 41v score is my concentration really started to drift towards the second half of the test. You can expect around a 20 point drop from the gmatprep to the actual gmat

How about the overlapping questions on GMAT Prep. It overestimate your score don't you?

there were some question which i had seen before....but most of them seemed to be new, even though i had taken it several times. I think this may have raised my score a little bit, however, i think the real gmat is a little bit harder then the gmatprep.

"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."
