I am asking a member, who has recently written his GMAT, to give us feedback! I have pm'ed the user and he will respond shortly!

1) how close is the actual gmat to the OG questions. which ones should I do for the 2 weeks remaining for practice? people usually say do the last 100, do you agree?

3) any other tips, please let us know

You guys can post up your questions as well!

I didn't think the OG was similar to the real thing. I think the best practice is to use the last 100 questions of the problem solving and data sufficiency sections. I would do the last four RC passages, and the last 30 CR and SC questions. Those are the only problems that are remotely similar to anything you will see on the real thing.

"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."
