Can I just say that I am really pissed off at myself for taking a review course (Princeton review) to prepare for GMAT? I am supposed to take GMAT on April 5th, but I am pretty sure I am going to have to move the date up. Taking the course did not help at all. My score has remained around 550. It’s good that I came across this site on my own. And, I am pretty sure that if I follow the strategies mentioned here my score would improve. I am just really frustrated because I paid over a $ 1000 for the course. BTW – I think I will the date to end of May (work reasons). Any suggestions?

I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations to date in preparing for the GMAT. What is your target GMAT score?

Good enough to get into a top school (710 -720). I have an undergrad degree in biochemistry and a doctorate in pharmacy (graduated last May). I currently work for a pharmaceutical company. Eventually, I want to work in the business development department within a pharma company. I think pursing an MBA would add additional value to my education, if I can obtain it from a top school. I am not going to take the GMAT on April 5th, and instead reschedule it for May 31st. I plan to follow some of the techniques listed on this website. Anyway, thanks 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."
