I just did two sets of Problem Solving questions from the Kaplan CD. They only give you 25min for 16 questions! Why??? This teaches me nothing about pacing and just frustrates me because I get a lot of questions wrong! Is anyone else annoyed by this? Is it good practice to race through these problems, or should I not worry about it too much?

i think 25 min for 16 PS questions is really fair. hope that is not the case with DS questions..

Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins.

Actually it gets worse for DS! There they give you 20 questions, 25 min! I've decided not to follow their timing and just do about 13-14 questions in each practice set.

"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."
