Hello!

I am 3 weeks out right now, and quant is not looking pretty.

GMATPrep - Q41 V41 (3 weeks ago)
Manhattan - Q39 V40 (This week)

I am consistently getting around the 90% percentile in verbal, missing only SC so I have not looked at verbal at all in the last month.

I've focused entirely on quant and am not finding that score to improve at all!

I went through the Manhattan quant guides to get a better handle on the basics. I'm going back through some OG problems, but I'm just not seeing the improvements.

Any big successes/pointers/tips/inspirations out there of improvement?

Thanks!

I'm no expert on the subject, but I just thought I should point out that it's hard to compare scores from two different sources. The official GMAT Prep software is generally reputed to give the most accurate representation of your score, so if possible, you should take that exam again and THEN compare those two scores to see how you're doing.

You might be improving, but since you're comparing scores from two different sources, you could be comparing apples to oranges.

Best of luck!

"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."
