I am most irritared by the explanations of PR

This book does not set up an equation for me or anything like that! it will simply say "backsolve" or "ballpark"

BALLPARK?? what a joke is that? Honestly, stick to OG, Kaplan and Manhattan!

I just completed a test and I have no idea how to solve some of the problems I answered incorrectly!

Yeah, I agree. Even though the book does an ok job going through the basics (for those who forgot), I didn't like PRs strategy on solving math problems. It does come in handy in certain situations, but its always good to know the basics behind it.

I took a couple Manhattan GMAT CAT exams online and its a bit harder than PR and it explains the answers very nicely.

"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."
