Hi Guys,
I have been a regular reader for this forum and have just started studying for GMAT and want to beat the gmat. I am from India with currently located in US and working for an IT firm with 7.5 years of experience. I want to give 90 days for my prep and then attempt for GMAT. I am planning to give 2-3 hours per day and 4-5 hours on weekend on an average for studying. I have OG12 and Kaplan book. I am planning to start with brushing up some stuff and then trying to give a GMAT prep test to see where I am and I know that my verbal is weak so I am going to give more stress on that esp RC. Let me know what do u think I need to focus more to get my target score. I have decided to not get disappointed seeing my GMAT prep score and will fight till I get my desired score.

I gave my GMAT Prep first test today and scored a miserable 600( Q 47 , V26). I was expecting 650, but finally I saw a big disappointment. I did the analysis for the test and found that I had made lots of mistake in quant of median, probability, DS type questions which I think I will be able to improve more if I practice and can target for 50 in Quant. But I need to improve a lot on my verbal and try to being it to 33-34 so that I can come close to my target score. My mostly questions wrong in verbal were of SC and CR. As a surprise my RC was ok, some 3-4 wrong. I am going now to concerntrate on verbal now with 75% weightage to verbal and 20% to quant and continue for one month and then try to give another test after a month(Gmat prep) and see where I land as I feel that will give me a better picture of where I stand after 1 month from now. I have decided I will not give up on this and try to achieve on my target score. Any other thoughts guys on how I can improve ?? I have OG, MGMAT SC and Kaplan premier . I am planning to finish atleast OG and MGMAT SC before my next attempt for GMAT prep. I am looking for valuable suggestion from you guys !!

"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."
