At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

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....

I started my GMAT preparation in December 2025, right after preparing for CAT, the Indian MBA entrance exam. Since I was already in the study flow, I thought, “Why not give the GMAT?” I assumed that the concepts I had covered for CAT would largely carry over, and that a couple of months of preparation-working through the official guides, solving some questions, and taking a few official mocks would be enough.
That turned out to be a serious underestimation of the GMAT. I took my first serious attempt of the official exam after about two months of preparation and scored a 645, which was nowhere close to what I needed for the kind of schools I was targeting. That was the point where I realised that I needed a much more intensive and structured approach to preparation.
I then came across Target Test Prep and decided to use the self-study course. What I really liked about TTP was how systematically it helped me understand not just what I was getting wrong, but why. I already knew that Critical Reasoning and Data Sufficiency were particular weaknesses for me, but TTP helped me break those weaknesses down into much smaller conceptual gaps.
The combination of structured concept lessons, targeted practice questions, detailed analytics, and the error log was extremely valuable. I could identify exactly which concepts I wasn't comfortable with, practise questions specifically around those areas, analyse my performance, and then go back to the underlying reason behind each mistake. The error log was particularly useful because it forced me to understand the root cause of an error rather than simply noting that I had gotten a question wrong.
For me, that was ultimately what made the difference. Moving from a 645 to a 715 wasn't about suddenly learning everything from scratch; it was about identifying and fixing the small gaps that were holding me back. Those marginal gains added up over time, and TTP gave me the structure and analytics to find them systematically.
Looking back, the biggest lesson from my GMAT journey is that knowing the concepts isn't enough. You need to understand the specific demands of the GMAT, identify your individual weaknesses, and have a process for continuously learning from your mistakes. TTP gave me that process and turned what had initially been a fairly unstructured preparation into a much more intensive, targeted, and data-driven one. I'm genuinely very happy with how my preparation turned out and with the role TTP played in helping me get from 645 to 715.
