Hi,
I have been preparing for quite sometime now, and took my first full fledged test on Sunday. I did not perform as well as I had hoped in Quants. (Total score was 700).

I have already finished practicing OG 12 Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency as well as the OG Quant Review 2nd Ed.

Is it a good idea to practice the same sample questions again?

Thanks

I would definitely recommend at least going through the ones that you answered incorrectly the first time. It can be surprising how often you'll make the same mistakes and get the same wrong answers, so redoing those problems can help you figure out any consistent errors that you need to fix.

Always glad to help

I think it applies equally to verbal. So much of doing well on SC and CR is predicated on recognizing how the GMAT writers set things up. The more familiar we are with their tendencies, the easier it is to pick out the little things that can dictate what we need to do.

"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."
