I have a question :-

As I understand there are total 41 in Quant and 37 in Verbal. (some of these are experimental questions and are not used in scoring). Is this correct ?

I see lots of post which have - "750(Q-50, V41) Hard work paid" OR
"760 (Q-50, V-42)"

Whats the 50 and 41 supposed to be in this against Q and V.. no of questions??

The scores you see for each section are the raw scores calcuated based on your performance. It's not based directly on the number of questions you got right, but more tied to how many difficult questions you got correct. Easy questions score less than hard questions.

I know, it's a little confusing. Each section is supposed to be scored out of 60 points, but that's a little misleading. From what I've seen, an 800 score would be:

51 Quant
50 Verbal

"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."
