"Don't prepare until you can get the questions right. Prepare until you can't get them wrong."

What if mastering the GMAT wasn't about doing more—it was about doing less, but smarter?

In this episode of Inside the GMAT, Zach is joined by Scott Woodbury-Stewart, Founder and CEO of Target Test Prep, to explore how simplifying your prep can lead to better results. With over 20 years of experience helping test-takers turn confusion into clarity, Scott shares why most people struggle—not because they're not "math people," but because they've never been taught the right way to learn.

From building a strong Quant foundation to avoiding traps in Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights, this episode is packed with practical advice on how to stop overcomplicating your prep and start studying with purpose. You'll also hear how Scott's own journey—from blowing up hydrogen balloons in high school classrooms to building one of the most well-known names in GMAT prep—has shaped his keep-it-simple philosophy.

Whether you're just starting or feeling stuck on the GMAT, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and prep smarter.
