Hi Guys,

I wrote my first practice test today (GMAT Prep) and scored 760, Quant 50, Verbal 41. I made 5 mistakes in Quant and 7 mistakes in Verbal. How do I improve my score from here? I havent yet started my preparation. I am planning on working through Official Guide and Verbal Review. Will that be sufficient?

Nice starting score! Going through the OG and the Verbal review will definitely be helpful, but you should probably also buy a Sentence correction book (Manhattan's is pretty good). If you have time you might even want to go through a couple. If you get really good at SC you'll be able to save a lot of time which you can then spend on CR (critical reasoning) and RC (reading comprehension) Also, go through the articles on this site about RC under the self study tab.

Cheers!

"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."
