Your scaled score will change with each sitting, as it is based in part on how others do who take the same test. Therefore, even if you get exactly the same number of problems correct each time, your score can vary. It's also dependent on which problems you get correct, as they are not all equally weighted. As you may have noticed, the test gives you increasingly difficult problems depending on how many in succession you answer correctly. So, you know you are missing some correct answers if you suddenly find yourself with very easy questions. All in all the formula is very complicated, so you will go insane trying to crack the code when comparing other test scores with your own.

"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."
