After a lot of research into GMAT prep options, I committed to
Target Test Prep's 6-month self-study plan, and I can say without hesitation it was the best decision I made in my GMAT journey.
The Prep:Over six months, I logged over 300 hours on the TTP platform. That might sound daunting, but the way TTP structures its curriculum makes every hour feel intentional and productive. The platform guides you methodically through every concept you could possibly encounter on the GMAT, building a genuine, deep understanding rather than just surface-level familiarity. They have practice problems at every difficulty level, so by the time test day arrives, you feel like you've truly seen it all.
One moment that really stuck with me was in the final week before my exam. I still had review I wanted to work through and was worried about losing access. I reached out to TTP, and without hesitation they extended my subscription by an extra week so I could finish my prep the right way. That kind of customer care is rare and it genuinely made a difference in how confident I felt walking in.
The ScoreI ended up scoring a 765, landing in the 100th percentile. What surprised me most about my results was where my perfect section scores came from. Going into the test, I always considered Quant to be my strongest section. But I actually came out with perfect scores on both the Data Insights and Verbal sections. That's a testament to how thoroughly TTP prepares you across all three sections of the GMAT Focus. It doesn't let you coast on your strengths, it builds up every area of your game.
Final ThoughtsNo other prep platform I looked at comes close to what TTP offers in terms of content depth, problem volume, and structured curriculum. If you're willing to put in the hours, TTP will make sure those hours count. Highly recommend to anyone serious about maximizing their GMAT score.
