Finally. FINALLY! 710!
Back in February of 2017 I took a diagnostic and scored 430. HERE IS THAT SCORE!My official scores then went like this (as per my sig)
560 (Q41, V26)
550 (Q43, V23)
650 (Q47, V33)
650 (Q44, V36)
650 (Q48, V31)
600 (Q38, V35)
710 (Q47,V41)
I can't believe it. So many thanks to give, so few words that my dehydrated,and malnourished brain can process right now..
I really need to make a few quick mentions.
MartyMurray , ScottTargetTestPrep and JeffTargetTestPrep really changed my life for the better throughout this journey.
Marty and I interacted in particularly interacted on a daily basis after crippling blow after blow. Marty, I can't thank you enough. Your sophisticated methods, your advice to not get riled up and not let things phase me, your willingness to take sessions with me under the circumstances i've been under. Seriously I can't thank you enough.
Marty Murray’s GMAT coaching has been the cornerstone of my success in this whole journey and he has taught me so much about myself, psychology and critical thinking.
Marty and I developed several proprietary GMAT methods that challenged the status quo. I think these methods can help so many people just unlock new heights
Scott - man I can't thank you enough for TTP. After using the Verbal content for TTP Verbal, I know it's going to kick ass as much or more than Quant.
Jeff - same goes to you man. I know there were times I'd ask you the same question again and again lol... and you still took the time to chat over the phone and stay calm.
I'm going to write a more elaborate post, but I need to also thank Neil Lukatch, who was introduced to me by Jeff, and Jesse Whelan (Sydney based), who was introduced to me by a friend I made after attending a GMAT session one time.
Neil is a great bloke. He is a master of the arts of grammar, and logical reasoning. Neil really tweaked me methods of thinking about SC and taught me the foundations and advancements of grammar that I never had.
I was introduced to Jesse late in my prep and worked with Jesse and Marty towards my final leg. Jesse introduced me to the Leitner Card system - this really really really helped me bring it all together. Jesse advised me to undertake some BRUTAL methods - I did TWO exams back-to-back in one evening, finishing after 12am. Jesse helped bring it all together.
I also need to thank this community and a few members in particular:
@EMPOWERgmat - Rich, thank you for your course. In my early days with prep It did help me quite a lot.
GMATNinja - Charles, thanks so much for your detailed posts and explanations. I'll sift through many posts, often it'll be a case of the blind leading the blind, until I get to yours.
More to come. I'm getting off my train soon.
**UPDATE**
HOW MANY QUESTIONS CAN YOU GET WRONG AND GET A 700?
MY RECOMMENDED APPROACH TO GET A 700+ IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME
HOW I BALANCED QUANT AND VERBAL
Interview with 800 Scorer, MartyTargetTestPrep
***UPDATED WITH MY PRACTICE SCORES OVER THE TIME****
NOTE - As you can see by the 'days between CATS' column in the below, there is some data missing. I didn't magically leap up to 600s like the data show, I didn't holistically track practice test scores in this period, but I will start to pull together data for the benefit of others and so i'm not misquoted.

File comment: Note - As you can see by the 350 day gap in tests, some CAT data is missing. This is because I didn't holistically track CATs throughout a period in my prep, but rather just reviewed

Dan,
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU MAN!! I just checked, and you and I first spoke on June 8th, 2018. So, although your total journey has been longer, since I've known you, you've been cranking out GMAT prep for 559 days!! Your story should be motivation to all GMAT test takers out there.
Now, go out and celebrate; you deserve it!!
