Guys, just took the GMAT today and received a 720. I'm not entirely dissatisfied with my score, but my quant percentile is 70%. On the Kaplan CATs I had been regularly scoring 750 with over 90% on both sections, so I was surprised to get a 70%. That being said, if I were to pick a section that I was not as adept at, it would be the quant section. Should I retake the test again? I still have enough time to retake in 31 days given Round 2 deadlines by 6 Jan. A bit of background. I was an investment banking analyst/associate at a bulge bracket firm for 5 years and have been working at distressed credit hedge fund/private equity (hybrid fund) for the last two years. I am only targeting top 5 US schools. Is it strange that I did so poorly on quant that I should re-do the test? (I thought the quant section was pretty comparable to Kaplan, so was quite surprised when I did so poorly). Any advice is appreciated. Is the 80/80 rule applied rigorously?

"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."
