GMAT Focus 1: 755 Q88 V87 DI88

Hi Everyone!
I recently scored a 755 (Q88 | V87 | DI88) on the GMAT Focus and wanted to share a quick breakdown of how I got there and how Target Test Prep (TTP) played a huge role.
A bit about me: I studied Economics (heavy focus on Statistics) during my undergrad and postgrad, and I currently work full-time as an Analytics and Strategy Consultant. I hadn’t taken a formal exam in close to 7 years, so I knew I needed structure and accountability to prep properly. After reading a lot of reviews, I chose TTP. I tried their free trial first and was impressed right away by how organized and structured everything was.
One thing that stood out to me is that TTP takes the planning burden off your shoulders. You don’t have to sit and wonder, “What should I do today?” It tells you exactly what to study and when, and you can customize the pace based on how much time you have. I went with the 4-month Dedicated Study Plan because, on most days, I could only manage 1–4 hours depending on how busy work got.
Initially, I thought I had Quant and Data Insights (DI) under control. But my first official mock brought me back to reality—I scored 685 overall with only 79th percentile in DI. That’s when I realized I needed to follow the TTP plan across all three sections, not just Verbal.
What Helped Me Most:
Content coverage: TTP is incredibly detailed. Every topic is broken down with clear explanations and practice sets. They also sort questions by different difficulty levels, which helps build confidence.
Verbal CR: TTP treats this like a science. Identify the conclusion, the premise and how they are related. Don't just go for the choice that sounds right or based on intuition it feels right. Look for 4 incorrect choices instead of 1 correct choice. Its usually pretty easy to remove 3 choices as they are obviously wrong, what makes a difference in your score is whether you are able to logically separate the remaining 2 choices instead of just going with your gut. This shift in mindset was super helpful.
Mixed review sets: These were useful to simulate real test scenarios. It helped me learn how to switch gears quickly between different topics—something that’s important for GMAT Focus.
Error log: I didn’t expect to find this as helpful as I did. It showed me that many of my mistakes were just careless ones—misreading questions or rushing calculations. That pushed me to slow down, keep neater notes, and read more carefully, especially in Quant.
Bookmarks: These are helpful in keeping track of interesting problems that you can revise later a week or so before the exam.
After that, I gave three more official mocks—scored 755, 735, and 735. I felt ready.
My First GMAT Attempt:
Exam day didn’t go great. I have a list of excuses ready (had more caffeine and energy bars than usual, there was a lot of background noise, etc) but honestly it was just mainly anxiety. I was jittery and had trouble focusing. I ended up having to guess three questions on DI just to finish the section. Overall, I scored a 695.
I come from an overrepresented applicant background and I scored a lot lower than I used to in my mocks, so it was an easy decision to retake the exam.
My Second GMAT Attempt:
Two weeks later, I retook it. I didn’t change anything major—just stuck to reviewing formulas and gave a few more mocks. This time I skipped the caffeine, didn’t eat anything weird before the test, and walked in much calmer. I had a lot less pressure because I already had a backup score that's alright, its not the end of the world. Also, I was familiar with the exam center surroundings and procedure this time around. That made a huge difference as I had no trouble focusing.
Final Thoughts
If you’re serious about the GMAT and aiming for a top score (and scholarships), don’t just go for the cheapest prep course. Go for the one that has a consistent track record of success. TTP is thorough, structured, and effective—and that’s exactly what you need for a test like the GMAT Focus.
