Dear mercecan1929,

Taking a few courses between graduating college and applying to business school can be helpful if you did not perform well academically in college. It gives you a chance to demonstrate your ability to succeed in the classroom and grasp the concepts of the class. This alternative transcript can be particularly useful if you did poorly in quantitative courses in college and take quantitative courses prior to applying to business school. It is not expected or required for you to take courses, but it can help if you feel other aspects of your application are not a true reflection of your current abilities.

Regards,
Lisa

"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."
