For those of you who have take the GMAT already, are the questions very different from those in the Official Guide and GMATPrep? Was it a big surprise? Obviously, I'm not expecting an exact same replica of those questions with the numbers switched around, but are the questions at least somewhat "familiar?"

Unfortunately, I'm one of those test takers that get thrown off more easily than others when question types seem unfamiliar. I've covered all the Official Guide/GMAT Prep questions thoroughly and understand them in addition to MGMAT, but am worried that I'll walk into the exam completely surprised. Thanks.

I just took it last week. I would say taking gmatprep and then studying all the questions from gmatprep after u are done with your studying is very beneficial. In fact, I would say I saw one or two questions from quant that were identical questions.

"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."
