Hi everyone,
I wrote my test less than 2 weeks ago. I felt I was in full attention and I knew what is going on during the AWA section. After the test, I felt the whole thing was a blur. My quant score was okay! But my verbal was horrible.

I knew what I was doing during the test and I was paying attention, but after the test was done, it just felt like a blur. For a while I didn't believe I was done.

I barely remember any questions I faced or which part of the test I struggled with except what I knew from my practice tests

Any comments?

I think that when the test goes by quickly it means that you're decently prepared for it. Also, the test is only a couple hours, which is a relatively small amount of time when you compare it to the number of hours that your have to study. Also, I think that it's normal that you don't remember a lot of the questions from the test. Unless you were actively trying to remember questions these things tend to slip away. I think people usually only remember one or two questions that really bugged them during the test

"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."
