Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my GMAT journey because reading posts like these really motivated me while I was studying. A few months ago, I took my first full-length practice test and scored a 645, with Quant dragging me down the most. I knew I had to find something structured and comprehensive if I wanted to break into the 700s, and that’s when I came across Target Test Prep.
Why TTP Worked for Me
The biggest game-changer was how the Quant curriculum is broken into manageable chunks. I hadn’t touched advanced math in years, so my foundation was shaky. TTP forces you to slow down, drill each concept, and only move forward once you’ve mastered it. It wasn’t always fun, but it worked! I went from struggling on mid-level DS questions to actually enjoying tough problem-solving sets.
I was also surprised by how effective the Verbal and DI sections were. Verbal felt almost like learning a logic system: after enough practice, I started seeing patterns in CR and RC that made the questions much less intimidating. For DI, the sheer amount of data-focused practice problems on TTP made me feel comfortable with the format and pacing.
Study Approach
I stuck closely to TTP’s study plan and made heavy use of the custom practice tool. Being able to generate question sets by topic and difficulty was invaluable for targeting my weak spots. I also made sure to take practice exams under real test conditions no pausing, no re-dos which helped me manage timing and nerves.
Test Day
On my official exam, I scored a 715 overall: Q86, V87, DI83. The biggest win for me was that all three sections felt balanced. Quant, which had been my weakest area, ended up being one of my strongest thanks to the step-by-step structure TTP provides.
Final Thoughts
If you’re stuck in the mid-600s and wondering if a big jump is possible, I can honestly say it is. TTP isn’t a shortcut: it requires commitment, but if you follow the plan, it builds both knowledge and confidence. My advice is simple: trust the process, don’t skip the drills, and simulate test conditions as much as possible.

Gratz on the 715. All the best going forward. Consider writing a profile-review in the Ask Admissions Consultants subforum. You could include your scoring info, the types of schools you're targeting, and any queries you may have.
