Hey guys, I recently bought the seventh edition of the Kaplan Math Workbook. I started working through it and I realized that I was getting a lot of the questions wrong(somewhere around half). I was wondering if this is just me or if the math is actually harder on the workbook than it is on the real test.

hi wayneyau,

Remember that the actual test is adaptive--it's very hard to say whether the problems in our book will be harder than the real test, because the real test will adjust itself to your skill level! That said, to my knowledge, the Math workbooks sits mostly at the 600 level; however, there are easier and hard questions scattered throughout, so it's hard to say. Best bet for confirming your score: take a test, either through Kaplan or through www.mba.com, and use your result as a baseline!

"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."
