I took the GMAT earlier in the year (unprepared) and scored a 400. I'm really just taking it as a "formality" I wrapped up my undergrad and am staying at the same school for my Masters Degree and have to have a GMAT score on file. Basically I want to score 500-550 and want to utilize the OG11 to be in that range. From some posts I've read it seems as if the latter part of the sections are for you crazy's looking for 700+ 800 (just kidding you guys are great) just more than I need to wrap my graduate degree. I work full-time don't have too much time in the evenings to be working all 150+ DS and PS questions, but they are my main concern.

Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're just looking for 500+, I would only bother with the first 1/2-2/3 of each section of OG 11. Since the questions are arranged in order of difficulty, you won't even see many of the questions in the later portions of each section, so don't waste your time with them.

I'd also take both the GMATPrep CATs before your exam.

Phew, that's what I was hoping to hear. I took one of the GMATPrep after about a mo. of studying and scored a 460 so I suppose I'm on track.

Thank you for the reply,

"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."
