Hi all,

Please share your thoughts on that:

I took the GMAT exam multiple times until I got a good score over a course of 2 years. Throughout this period, I studied a lot, changed approaches, worked on my weaknesses, but never let go.
I wanted to know if it's wise to write an essay in the application to describe a GMAT journey.

Thanks,
eladshush

Terrible idea! No, seriously

I think that other than the score yo get (which is hopefully sweet) the Adcom doesn't want to hear anything else about your GMAT. It's better if you can choose a story which would highlight other far more important aspects of your profile, like leadership, teamwork, initiative...

I understand.

I guess you are right. It's a risk I am not willing to take.

Thank you for your 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."
