I initially prepared for the GMAT using the Official GMAT Guides for about three months, focusing mainly on doing a large volume of practice questions. While this helped me get familiar with the question types, my scores quickly plateaued. My first mock was 605, and my first official GMAT score was 615.
At that point, I understood that Quant was my main weakness. More importantly, I realized that simply doing more questions was not solving the problem. I lacked structure and specific strategies, especially in Quant, that could not be learned through question-grinding alone.
After some research, I decided to switch to Target Test Prep.
What stood out immediately with TTP was the exceptional structure of the study plan. Concepts are broken down into clear thematic sections, with a very comprehensive roadmap. Having a well-defined plan removed all guesswork and gave me confidence that I wasn’t missing key concepts. Each topic is accompanied by strong explanations and examples that focus on the entire reasoning process, not just the final answer. And if you are short on examples, you can use the AI function to generate new questions!
Another major strength of TTP is the balance between theory and practice. Instead of blindly solving questions, I was building solid foundations first and then applying them in practice sets. This was exactly what I needed to fix recurring mistakes and develop a more systematic approach to problem-solving in Quant, where many strategies taught by TTP helped save a lot of time on exam day.
The platform is quite extensive, especially in Quant, and some sections can feel long. For candidates on a very tight timeline, this can be challenging. That said, the depth is precisely what makes TTP effective, and I personally preferred having more detail rather than risking conceptual gaps.
After around one month using TTP, my preparation completely changed. Instead of practicing blindly, I was following a clear plan and methodically fixing weaknesses. I retook the GMAT Focus and scored 745 (Q87 V87 D87).

Final Recommendations
- Give yourself enough runway. Plan several months so you can digest concepts properly, especially in Quant.
- Don’t rely on question volume alone. I plateaued when I only practiced official questions. Real improvement came from rebuilding fundamentals with a clear structure and specified strategies to save time on exam day.
- Choose the test format carefully. For me, taking the exam at a test center provided better focus than at home.
- Treat test day like an execution exercise. Many Quant questions become manageable once you apply the right strategies under time pressure. Practice with timing in mind, not just accuracy.
