Hey Folks:

Beat The GMAT was down for about 20 minutes this morning. My apologies, I'm investigating to figure out what happened.

For those of you who couldn't access the site during that time, thanks for being patient!

Wow crap, we were down for several hours this morning. Sorry guys about this major inconvenience! surfd00d performed a clean up job on our database.

That's two crashes within a few days now. We're investigating to figure out what the root cause is. In the mean time, if you see any more issues, can you please msg me (if you can), send an e-mail to [email protected], or DM me on the beatthegmat twitter account?

Thanks guys for being patient.

surfd00d has figured out the root cause of our server downtime. We've patched the problem successfully, so BTG should be pretty stable here on out.

"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."
