We’ve worked incredibly hard to build TTP into the best test prep experience possible, and it would mean a lot to us to win Newsweek’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Test Prep. If TTP has helped you, we’d be incredibly grateful for your vote.

What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Hi all, I am an italian student willing to score a 680-700 to apply to the Masters in Finance offered by LBS, LSE and Hec
Here some info:
- I started my preparation on Dec 26 and so far I've studied roughly for 140 hours
- I've bought Magoosh, seen all the videos and completed almost 1300 questions
- I've bought the free trial of TTP to fill the gaps i thought i had with Quant (Bc Magoosh seemed a little bit outdated)
- I hold an error log where i categorize the questions that i get wrong and solve them again (mostly for Quant)
- My baseline score was 36Q (22% percentile) and 22V (28% percentile)
- My current mock score is 43Q (41% percentile) and 31V (59% percentile)
- I studied far less for Verbal than for Quant (I would say 2/3 Q and 1/3 V)
- I plan to take the online gmat on Feb 2
- I can spend roughly 12 full days till that date (can study up to 8 hours a day without burning out, so other 96 hours)
- I bought the OG and I find that Quant Questions are formulated very differently from those in Magoosh/TTP, and many times I can't begin solving them. On the other hand, I don't find many differences with Verbal (maybe those from Magoosh are more difficult).
Given that, I see no point in continuing with the questions from the Preps and I'd better keep grinding on OG. Do you think I should start solving mixed questions from each section right away or I am better off if I reach before 70-80% (Medium-Difficult) accuracy for each subsection (such as Counting/Sets/Series, Geometry, Equalities/Inequalities/Algebra) BEFORE starting with mixed questions?
Then, do you have any other piece of advice to help this italian guy achieve his target score?
Thanks!
Francesco

For Quant, try to see if there are shorter way to solve the questions. Sometimes the answer choices themselves may help you to solve the question itself. This applies to even EASY and MEDIUM questions. Reading success stories of people who have been in similar situations in the Share GMAT Experience subforum may also be helpful.
