I've been studying for the GMAT on and off for 5 years to try to score what Stanford expects in its applicants which was a 700 on the old GMAT and a 645 on the GMAT focus. I originally used the GMAT club, official GMAT prep, Target Test Prep, and Magoosh to study. My weakness was primarily quant, so over the years, I stuck with Target Test Prep, which had the best quant according to reviews. I was scoring in the 40th percentile on the GMAT because I could not remember combinations, permutations, probabilities, and more to save my life. I'm 14 years out of college, and it was tough to re-learn these concepts. For the past three months, I worked with Jeff from Target Test Prep for quant private tutoring, and he recommended that I look into taking the Executive Assessment since the quant is slightly easier. With his tips and tricks to shorten the time I spent solving a problem and his method of educated guesses, I was able to improve my quant to the 80th percentile and scored a 645 on the GMAT Focus. I ended up scoring a 166 on the Executive Assessment. I don't think I would have been as confident or done as well to get over my scoring wall without tutoring.
