In 2015, I had officially decided to attend business school but was worried about my mostly non-traditional background inhibiting my ability to get into my top programs.

I utilized the Kaplan and Manhattan prep books as well as a variety of practice tests and felt confident when I sat for the test the first time. However, I was in for a rude awakening when my brain completely shut down on a simple probability problem that came up as my first question on Quant which was only made worse by the second Geometry question which also through me for a loop.

When my score came out I was devastated having just missed my goal. I realized that while I felt confident in my math skills, I needed them to be second nature.

When scouring youtube for insights on how to continue preparing and to build my quant agility skills, I stumbled on a Target Test Prep video. In the video, the concepts were discussed clearly and concisely and allowed me to understand the concepts better than I had before. Immediately, I reached out to Jeff @ TTP to begin developing a game plan for my second attempt at the test. Jeff was extremely encouraging and encouraged me to sign up for the TTP Flex Plan and told me that he was confident that I could improve my quant score in the little time that I had before the test.

Unlike the CAT practice exams, the Target program does not look to emulate the GMAT instead relying on an interface that it much more conducive to learning and MUCH less panic inducing. This format allowed me to comfortably reinforce my quant skills without continually feeling the time crunch that I had with other practice exams.

When I went to take the test a second time, I sat down much more confident than before and was extremely happy when the score report arrived.

Thank you Jeff and Target Test Prep.
