- Part 1-

Deciding on an MBA...
Kinda aimless studying
Practise exams - Untimed

TTP steps in - situation gets better

Sandy's YouTube Debrief


Exam in 30 days after starting, a month after TTP (DEC 20th)
- Terrible result - I did so bad - I canceled my score, and to check for this it did not pop up.

I felt like this was too much of a big goal for me.
Had to rush to take it because the pattern was changing.

GMAT Focus

- Part 2 -

Fell out of practise for two months and was going about life - working my job and working on my side hustles to be an actor

Came back to the world of MBA in April again.
Started training better. Regular practise exams. Being Real with the timings, and the breaks between exams.
The structure, the different topics being tested.
Followed GMAT ninja videos.

Watching GMAT club interviews

Left my job in the month of june, also finished working on a film I was working on this entire time. June mid.
Had a tutor with varsity tutors.
Devoted my time to the GMAT fully, as well as some MBA applications - of target schools
- this gave me an eyes on the prize mindset.

Booked an exam

This time is the charm was the mindset - 635 - 83 percentile
(V : 85 (94 percentile) Q: 79 (57 percentile) DI: 80 (84 percentile))

I could not complete the Math section on time, last question was unanswered, felt terrible, went forward again. I knew I could easily get a 90 something had this not occured, even had I guessed on that question, rather than leave it unanswered.


Registered for the next available slot: 635 again :( - 83 percentile.
(V : 81 (67 percentile) Q: 85 (84 percentile) DI: 77 (79 percentile))

Here what happened was I did make the same blunder as the last, I messed up math again, left a question unanswered, but got 20 out of 21 of them right, that was playing on my head when I went for Verbal and DI.

Everyone including my family and friends thought okay, this is the score, but as an impulse decision, because I was getting high 90s of the practise exams decided to give the exam another go.

This time I was in a different mindstate, did not think of the exam at all, and I had started acting school that week. I was doing my thing, that day I went down post a light meal and sat down.
Felt good, felt positive.
Started on the same order, Math, DI, and V that I mastered.

Math was Breazy, DI felt good, and V I felt confident.

the score showed up and I could not belive my eyes - a 695 - 98 percentile :
(Q: 83 (81 percentile) V: 86 (97 percentile) DI : 84 (97 percentile))

I had a sense of relief, my penance from Nov 23' to early Sept 24' saw fruit.
4 attemps, so many heatbreaks, so many times I almost gave up, the mental challenge, the pep talks my parents and friends gave me, all the money I spent on booking exams, it was all worth it :)

Applied to a lot of my dream schools Round one, I stand on a couple of offers and some merit based scholorships as well. Some of which cover about 75% of the tution cost.

This community was of great help through this time.

As an undergrad student, I was on the hunt for a GMAT test prep platform where I could build upon my existing academic foundation. All other platforms I tried made me start my quant, verbal and data insights journey from the very beginning. I didn’t think it was the best use of my time because my undergrad program has been rigorous enough to give me the core theoretical foundation. I needed to become a better test taker and learn effective shortcuts - for which TTP was ideal. I learn best while practicing and TTP’s wide array of practice questions for every topic and section suited my needs. The monthly subscription structure aligned well with my financial needs and it helped me complete my full GMAT Focus journey, scoring 685 in less than 2 months! I am glad I chose TTP!

Congratulations on your score!

Assuming that you've taken the test recently, how many RC passages did you get? 3 or 4? And how many back-to-back?

I gave the GMAT focus and got 715 (99 percentile). I used Target Test Prep (TTP) for a month to prepare for the GMAT, and it proved to be a highly effective study resource, particularly for the verbal section. TTP offers a comprehensive and methodical curriculum with detailed lessons, high-quality practice questions, and thorough explanations that helped me build a strong foundation and master complex concepts. The adaptive learning paths and flexible study plans allowed me to optimize my limited study time efficiently. Despite the time-intensive nature of the course, I found the platform user-friendly and the analytics tools invaluable for identifying and focusing on weak areas. Overall, TTP was instrumental in helping me achieve a strong GMAT score, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a structured, analytical approach to GMAT prep, especially for those aiming to boost their quant performance.

Achieving your desired GMAT score is possible with your discipline and effective prep course. Greetings from Thailand! I am Chayathorn, a recent BBA graduate majoring in finance from one of the top business schools in Thailand. My GMAT journey apparently started off when I finished my degree last May (2024). I have been applying for a couple of firms without having a clear direction where I was heading to, but then I realized that my dream was different from other peers. For others, their dream may begin right after their graduation; however, for me, it has ended since then. In other words, I have been living my dream for 20+ years as a student, a knowledge seeker, an enthusiast learner. I would like to extend my dream life, so I decided to pursue Msc Finance soon. And that was when my GMAT journey officially began...

I started browsing online to get familiar with what is the GMAT exam and ended up discouraged by the overwhelming information and tasks to be scheduled. In fact, I have researched once when I was still in my third year hoping that I could study ahead and because of that research I decided to postpone to my future self. Nevertheless, this time I discovered Target Test Prep, and their reviews were exceptional. Therefore, I decided to take their diagnostic test and tried their free trial version for a week. Accordingly, I fell in love with the prep course and purchased the six-month version of the course (with a flash discount!).

TTP’s prep course’s effectiveness lies in their well-structured curriculum and their supportive features. Firstly, I would like to highlight the scheduling feature and their super detailed curriculum whether it be Quant, Verbal, or DI. As I mentioned, I was overwhelmed by the GMAT exam, but TTP did everything for me. By simply putting my availability each day in hours and my expected exam date, TTP broke down their flexible curriculum into daily manageable tasks for me. At first, I began reading for two hours each day to test my tolerance rate. It turned out that, with each TTP’s subunit lessons and practice exercises, I enjoyed preparing for the GMAT and therefore extended my daily availability to around three hours per day (1.5 hours each in the morning and in the evening), with fewer hours on weekends.

My study phases could be categorized into two phases: study phase and exam practice phase. For the former, I have been repeatedly followed by a 3-hour plan each day, building up my knowledge block by block via the so-called Must-Know points. By building up my understanding step by step, I could connect each Must-Know point within and across concepts, further forming a solid foundation for future exam practice rather than just throwing myself arbitrarily into each concept and trying to figure out myself. Moreover, I would usually spend my weekends on reviewing and mastering each Must-Know point to retain my learning throughout the journey. Over time, I found out that I have been solving each question more systematically, which I believe is aligned with the goal of the exam: to test your logical flow via the language of English and Math. This could be mainly attributable to how TTP assisted me on building each Must-Know point; understanding each constituent would eventually bring me to mastering the whole. For instance, for my Verbal Section practice, TTP always urged me to categorize each question into their category and to practice as if every answer choice were the question that you had to decipher why it was correct or incorrect.

Nonetheless, my GMAT journey was not always filled with excitement to learn. There were times where I was less motivated and distracted by other priorities. Thanks to the daily motivational quotes and video tips that helped keep my discipline going. I still recall that there was a video tip mentioning that ‘your passion each day could be volatile, and therefore you must nourish your discipline instead’. This translated to me habitualizing my GMAT’s daily studies to the point that one day I realized that if I have not completed this, I would feel frustrated the entire day without any reasons. In other words, I believed the aforementioned features of the course prep were on purpose and extremely impactful.

Days after days of preparation, I finally reached my exam practice phase during the Christmas season ahahahahaa! I decided to practice through the official GMAT’s practice exams (including the ones you have to purchase) as advised by the TTP. I found official practice exams most beneficial after I had built a strong foundation, as they helped reinforce my test-day readiness. Anyway, when doing the practice exams, my best takeaway is to be honest to yourself. To put it another way, you have to conduct the exam with the same conditions you expect to undergo on the real exam date. This includes taking the exam in one setting and in a quiet atmosphere, as well as having similar equipment (laminated scratch pads and pens) if possible. Fun fact! I could not find laminated scratch pads in my vicinity, so I decided to use A4 whiteboards instead, which are kind of interchangeable for me. After I had completed each practice exam, I would then diagnose my strengths and weaknesses (usually anxiety and time management) and go back to each pertinent Must-Know point.

And the D-Day has come! I took my first GMAT exam (but not the last one) in January (2025). My score was 665 (around 93th percentile), which was astonishingly good. Nevertheless, my guts told me that I could improve my score, and this was just my first GMAT, so I should give it another try. Coincidentally, the video tip on my TTP course was about whether to take the second exam (see! How powerful the video tip is!). During the GMAT waiting period of 16 days, I followed the video tip about learning from my first exam’s potential mistakes. Finally, I took my second GMAT exam and got 695 (98th percentile)! One thing worth mentioning here would be that I felt time management was my biggest challenge, but I made sure to stay focused and not let it affect my confidence throughout the test. I tried to focus on what I was doing during the exam and ignored what I did wrong or mismanaged. That is probably my last key takeaway for this long debrief: focus on what you are doing, stay sharp, and let’s excel on the GMAT!

Your GMAT Focus journey from scratch to 695 in five months is impressive!

The emphasis on Must-Know points and systematically improving weaknesses is a great takeaway for others preparing for the test.

Well done and best of luck ahead!

Hello,

I'm here to share my experience with the GMAT FE and Target Test Prep (TTP). I took the test two times. First was a 675 (Q/80,V/87,DI/83) and second a 715 (Q/86, V/85, DI/85).

Overall, I really enjoyed TTP. I had used official practice questions before signing up for TTP and was immediately impressed with the depth of TTP's answer explanations. They were easier to understand and left me feeling more prepared to take on those types of questions again.

I am a lawyer so do not have a strong quant background, so I really needed to prove my Quant abilities on the GMAT. Coming in basically from scratch, I can confidently say TTP covers everything and is all you will need to succeed on the exam. The Quant path is easy to follow and builds upon what you learn. It never felt overwhelming.

After taking the GMAT the first time, I had an overall score I was happy with, but felt my Quant only being an 80 would hurt my chances. With the data on which sections I did poorly on the first test, I knew where I had to focus my studies. Being able to hone in on specific areas with TTP's categorized quizzes made my studying much more effective. I was able to get every answer correct on the areas that were the worst part of my Quant section the first time I took the exam. I attribute much of this to TTP and how it allows you to effectively work on your weak areas.

If I were to give any advice it would be to keep going through the doubt. This can be a long process and there will be times when you might question if all the studying will be worth it, but it will be. Every single point you get on the test matters, so you will never be upset with working until you achieve the best score you can.

I hope anyone reading this found this inciteful, and I would be happy to answer any questions!

Thanks! If you mean the six official practice exams, I scored between 675 and 755. The first two practice exams I scored 715 and 675, accordingly.
