When I began my GMAT prep, I was scoring around 640 in the Classic Edition—decent, but I knew I had more in me. After putting in serious effort with
Target Test Prep, I scored
645 on the Focus Edition, which maps to
700 on the Classic GMAT, a score I’m genuinely proud of. TTP helped transform my preparation by providing structure, clarity, and targeted practice across
Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights (DI)—and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone serious about improving their performance.
Quant – Precision, Mastery & CustomizationQuant was initially the most daunting part of my prep, but TTP turned it into a strength. The
conceptual breakdowns are some of the best I’ve seen—deep enough to teach the fundamentals but also strategic enough to prepare you for test-day traps. What truly set TTP apart for me were the
custom tests. These allowed me to focus on specific weak areas, repeat topics until I mastered them, and slowly build speed and accuracy over time. The progress felt tangible, and I credit this practice format for helping me approach problem-solving calmly and confidently on test day.
Verbal – Building a Strong Foundation in Critical ReasoningWhile Quant gets most of the spotlight, I found
TTP’s Verbal section surprisingly solid—especially for
Critical Reasoning (CR). The platform emphasizes the
core concepts that underlie CR logic, making it easier to spot flawed arguments, strengthen assumptions, and avoid trap answer choices. The explanations were not just helpful in getting the right answer, but also in understanding
why the wrong answers were wrong. It’s that kind of deep clarity that made all the difference in improving my accuracy in this section. With a bit more practice question volume, this section could easily become a go-to for Verbal prep too.
Data Insights – Clear, Concise, and Concept-DrivenDI was a new challenge, and TTP handled it well. The section is designed to teach
how to interpret data, identify relevant metrics, and avoid common misreads, all of which are key for success in this part of the exam. I especially appreciated how the platform simplified seemingly complex graphs and tables into
bite-sized, understandable pieces. It helped me develop the ability to quickly sift through data and draw conclusions without second-guessing. The clarity and structure provided in the DI modules helped me feel prepared and in control during that section on test day.
