Hi,

So I am going to take my test in a few weeks and I noticed my biggest problem was word translation. I am using the Manhattan GMAT book and I find it has a million typos. Is there a location where I can find the area where they correct it or another book someone would recommend for word translations, specifically permutation, probability, combinations etc.? Thanks.

I've noticed those same typos and word translations are also my biggest weakness. Just curious, how have you found MGMAT's chart method for solving certain types of WT problems?

I've noticed typos, too, but not "millions of them". I'm a little surprised at the typos I've noticed, since most could have been detected by a spelling or grammar checker. I just ignore them since they don't really detract from the overall content.

"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."
