Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my GMAT journey—especially for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. I started with a cold score of 615, and after 2 months of focused, structured prep, I walked out of the test center with a 715 (Q87, V88, DI82). This was my first official attempt, and TTP was without a doubt the key to my score jump.
Background
Coming from an engineering background, I wasn’t too intimidated by Quant. But I knew GMAT Quant is tricky in its own way, and I didn’t want to take any chances. Verbal, on the other hand, was the real concern. I didn’t have a strategy, and I lacked consistency in accuracy. I needed something that was structured and efficient—enter Target Test Prep (TTP).
Why I Chose TTP
I read a lot of reviews (GMAT Club, Reddit) and noticed one common theme: TTP works if you commit to it. So I signed up and stuck to their plan. It’s not flashy or gimmicky—it’s deep, structured, and built to help you build mastery step-by-step.
Quant – TTP’s Crown Jewel
TTP is hands down the most comprehensive Quant resource out there. It doesn’t just teach you how to solve questions—it teaches you how to think like the GMAT expects. Even with a decent quant background, I found myself improving dramatically in accuracy, pacing, and confidence.
Crystal-clear lessons: Every topic is broken down with detailed logic, rules, and examples. I finally understood number properties and word problems after struggling with them for weeks.
Milestone quizzes: You can’t move forward until you’ve truly mastered a topic. This was frustrating at times, but exactly what I needed.
Custom practice engine: One of my favorite features. I loved being able to filter questions by topic, difficulty, and even past performance. It made review super efficient.
By the end, I was consistently scoring Q90 on practice sets, and hit the Q87 in Quant on test day.
Verbal – TTP’s Underrated Secret Weapon
Personally, I came in with a good Quant background and my worry was Verbal. TTP is often marketed for its Quant and DI strengths—but Verbal was where I saw the most surprising progress
CR & RC: Logical, concise explanations. Helped me approach each question type with a clear plan instead of guessing.
I ended up scoring V88 in Verbal, which was honestly beyond what I expected.
Study Timeline
Followed the timeline suggested by TTP exactly. I remember doubting this timeline a lot at start and even reaching out to Jeff from TTP doubting it but he told me to trust the plan and stick to it and maybe just skip a few easy exams if i feel too comfortable.
Test Day (In-Person)
I took the exam at a test center. Everything was smooth: staff were professional, noise was minimal, and I took both breaks. The real exam felt very similar to TTP practice—in both style and logic.
Quant was slightly trickier than expected, but I was prepared.
Verbal felt fair—timing was the real battle, but TTP’s structure helped me stay calm.
DI was manageable, and I wasn’t thrown off by any weird formats thanks to TTP’s data-heavy practice sets.
Final Thoughts
TTP isn’t a shortcut—it’s a system. And if you stick to it, it works. Whether you’re starting from a 600 or trying to push into the 700s, it gives you the structure, clarity, and repetition you need to improve.
What surprised me most: How good the Verbal section was. Honestly deserves way more credit than it gets

Congrats on the 715—that’s a huge jump from 615! I’m struggling with verbal too, and your V88 is inspiring. I didn’t realize TTP was so good for verbal—how did you approach CR questions? Their logical breakdown sounds like something I need to try.
