Does anyone know what math question and verbal question a person should be after a certain period of time on the test? A easy way to remember?

You get about 2 minutes per question, so subtract 2*question number from 75. Or...

Question 10 : 55 minutes
Question 20 : 35 minutes
Question 30 : 15 minutes

However, I'm thinking of modifying my timing to accomodate the fact that your earlier and later answers matter more:

Question 10 : 50 minutes
Question 20 : 30 minutes
Question 30 : 20 minutes

Pretty close. Math has 37 questions and verbal has 41, so you have slightly less time per question on verbal, but in the same ballpark.

"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."
