I started my GMAT journey in September. Quickly reviewing some reviews online, I decided to purchase the Manhattan books. After a few weeks of studying, I thought the books were a little boring to read and didn’t have much structure to my study plan. I knew I had to find a better game plan if I wanted to be successful in the test. I decided to turn to people in my network who had taken the GMAT. A friend, who is currently at HBS and had struggled with the quant portion of the test, recommended Target Test Prep to me.
I signed up for the 5 day trial and immediately loved the platform. The course is very interactive, comprehensive and provides a detailed study plan. I was able to drill down on concepts I was struggling with and move faster on what I understood well. It was a perfect way to structure my study time for the quant portion of the exam. After completing all the lessons, I scheduled an exam date at the beginning of December and scored a Q44. I was very disappointed as I knew I could do a lot better in the quant section. I decided to reach out to Jeff and scheduled some tutoring sessions. As I was pressed for time and wanted to meet the R2 deadlines, I was ready to do anything to improve. I scheduled a few sessions with Jeff and in just a few hours he was able to assess some of my key weaknesses and provide me with insightful tips on how to improve my test taking strategy. I wrote the exam 20 days later and improved my score to a 710, Q47 (which was sufficient for most of my target schools). I am confident that if I had continued to do a few more hours with Jeff, I could of have increased my quant score even higher. The online platform gave me a solid base and understanding of the concepts, but Jeff was able to bring me to the next level. He was also extremely supportive, texting me to ask how my practice was going. My only regret is to not have started the one on one tutoring sessions earlier!
