Hi All,

Math Bin 4 in the PR book is defined in the book as containing the "hard" questions.
Is this an accurate description ? Are these questions the hardest ones we'll be facing on the real GMAT ? Are they the 700+ level question ... or is PR's description of "hard" not in synch with the GMAT/GMAC's

Thanks

PR creates its own GMAT practice questions internally, so there is definitely going to be variation between what you see in those materials vs. on the real GMAT (true of any test prep company). The best way to gauge what "700-level" questions would look like would be to study the last few questions in each section of OG.

I feel the PR questions are easy compared to what is found in OG and the real test. I remember when I finished the PR book I thought the test would be easy if it was anything like the PR questions, but months later I was shocked (and humbled) by the difficulty of the OG hard questions.

Hi Mayonnai5e !

Yes ... I get that impression too ! I think in general ... the PR is a good starter for preparations ... but the OG should be the key part of any preparations !

"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."
