Hello,

I was wondering what type of quant score can start to raise issues for the adcom's for the top 20 schools. Are there any of them that require a certain quant mimumum? like 65% or 75%? or is there a "general rule of thumb" that you should be above for quant for the top 20? Any information or insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello,

The top programs ideally like to see above 80% in both sections. A slightly lower quant score may not raise a problem if there is other evidence in your application of strong quantitative skills -- e.g., good grades in challenging quant courses in undergrad, evidence that you apply quantitative methodologies at work. Your transcript, essays, resume, and recommendations are all areas where you can provide this message.

"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."
