This is a silly question. When submitting an essay response as a word doc or PDF, should I include their question at the top of the page to make it clear what I'm answering? Should this could toward the word count?

I have a similar question!

How do you format your essay? Lets say the essay has three parts, and they give you the question in the form of:

The main idea of the question...
a) Detail 1 they want you to answer
b) Detail 2
c) Detail 3

Do you use precious space to include the prompt? Do you separate the sections of your response into a) b) and c)? Or do you just try to address all of it in your essay, but keep it in paragraph form without delineations between the sections?

Thanks for your advice on a silly but technical question!

"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."
