For the top schools, it seems like breaking 80% quant is CRITICAL. This is especially true with the finance heavy programs like wharton, sloan, columbia, booth. I heard that a raw score of 48, which used to be around 81-83%, is now 78%. Is this true? If so, this means that I would need to get a raw score of 49 to pass the threshold.

This page will give you all of the raw score conversions: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/gmat-scores ... means.aspx

As you can see, a raw score of 48 is in the 78th percentile, and a raw score of 49 is in the 83rd percentile.

"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."
