Good Morning,
I have spent the last three weeks going through the Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook as I had very little exposure to the concepts over the last couple of years. However, upon completion I took the OG Diagnostix test and received a mid-range average on Problem Solving and Below Average on Data Sufficiency.

I have the Manhatten reviews which are my next port of call. I'm not looking to blow the world with my score but I'm certainly hoping to score well. 600-700 range. My appointment is the end of May, should I be worried?

I realize this is not a specific maths question.

Thanks,

If you are less than confident in your own handling of the concepts and problems presented on the diagnostic, you should plan to work hard between now and your test date. Should you worry! Of course not! Worry won't help. Should you plan to work? Yes!

Test day poses special challenges, even for those who are prepared. It is never a good idea to back off on your practice because you believe you can get a score that is "good enough". That's highly risky. Always prepare to get your best score. Who knows what doors you might open if you do blow the test away!

"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."
