My first official GMAT score was a 650 (Q48, V31). This score came after many hours of preparation through a different company / program. I was extremely disappointed and felt that I still wasn't strong or confident enough in verbal.

After some research and googling, I found target test prep and gave it a shot knowing that they had just released their verbal program (I already knew that target test prep was amazing for their quant program).

I essentially completed the entire program from start to finish (quant + verbal). It took me several months but I credit the program for my improved official score of 720 (Q49, V38). The structure of the quant program was fantastic and it helped me solidify all of the quant concepts. The verbal section of the program taught me new concepts that my previous program didn't. Overall, I was really impressed with the verbal part of their program.

For me specifically, I really appreciated all of the practical advice that they gave me when it came to coping with exam stress/anxiety. You see, my score of 720 was actually my third attempt. I wrote the exam one month before this score and completely fell off the rails and scored 620 (even though I was consistently scoring 700+ on my practice exams). I was originally super confident because of all the prep I did with target test prep, but I just had a bad day and scored poorly. Luckily, I had an inspiring convo with Scott and was able to re-focus for the 4 weeks before my re-write. Fortunately, I followed up this poor attempt with a final score of 720 (Q49, V38), which was much more representative of my practice scores.

Without a doubt, target test prep is the best GMAT prep company / course out there, and I 100% recommend this course to any future GMAT test takers.
