Target Test Prep is the only course you need. After reading some Reddit reviews, I landed on target and I couldn't be more happy with my decision. When I initially wrote my diagnostic test, I got a 675. So I was already quite happy but I really wanted to push for seven M7. so I completed 100% of the course in 2 1/2 months I then wrote the rest of the practice tests on mba.com. I finished off with a 725 on the focus edition and I've gotten interviews at four out of the seven M7 schools. I strongly recommend target as I think the structure is perfect. They show you all the formulas and strategies you need and that someone who went in completely blind and only used TTP, I couldn't be more happy with the score I came out with.

Target Test Prep - An Excellent Fundamental Course

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Course Target Test Prep Dedicated Study

Location Online

Target Test Prep is a great course. It is long and some complain about this but it is long for a good reason - it is thorough. Every fundamental I faced on the GMAT Focus, from all sections, I was exposed to in the Target Test Prep course.

Target Test Prep really thrives for those who are determined to do well, will stick with a plan, and avoid shortcuts (hint: there's no shortcut to doing well on the GMAT or any standardized test). In terms of a fundamental course that can be self paced and as someone who has traditionally never achieved an above average score on any standardized exams (grade school standardized exams, SAT and LSAT) and having taken different formats of prep courses (instructor led/self paced/hybrid), I can say with confidence for a self motivated individual who can learn on their own, Target Test Prep will not disappoint. I've never encountered a prep course that focuses on perfecting the fundamentals as much as Target Test Prep, and this genuinely paid off the most for me.

Some differences in my experience that will likely be different than others experiences include the following. I had a decent Verbal score to begin with because I had previously prepped for the LSAT and GMAT Verbal was somewhat similar to LSAT Verbal. Therefore, I had a bit of practice with similar questions. Nonetheless, I still improved my Verbal score between my first practice exam and the one Official GMAT Focus attempt I did. The last note is you must give yourself time to complete the course (or at least come as close as possible to completing the course). Admittedly, I did not complete the course entirely as I was in a time crunch to apply to my preferred programs before a due date. I spent 4.5 months between starting my Target Test Prep course and writing the Official GMAT Focus. If you don't complete as much of the course as possible, aka the fundamentals they introduce, you will likely be missing out on valuable fundamentals that you may encounter.

695 Score in 1st attempt, with a 6 week long preparation

I come from Chile and I have an unconventional background (not math or business related). I had an injury that kept me for some weeks out of work, and I had to choose between watching movies and series, or doing something productive for my life. I chose the latter, and decided to give GMAT a first try with 6 just weeks to study. I had to do it efficiently and start studying in a disciplined fashion with a well structured study plan right away, and Target Test Prep was the solution. I had a "diagnosis test" within the course, in which I got a bad quant score... but by dividing the study plan's tasks in my available time, and having an intense routine, I was able to achieve my goal of getting a great score efficiently. I was worried about having to take the test a second time, due to having to study while working not being ideal, but it was fortunately not necessary. I did 100% of the "learning fase" of the course, and had to compress the "practice test phase" by taking 2 official mock tests a day, on the week of my test day. I was somewhat worried by having an initial 565 score in the first mock, but it was due to a bad time management. Practice gave me confidence, the quant part of the course gave me the skills I needed, and with the verbal and data insights sections I could understand the logic underlying those questions and face the test with a solid strategy.

Course Target Test Prep Maximum Learning

The TTP GMAT Focus course was crucial in my preparation and ultimate success on the GMAT Focus. One of the most notable aspects of the course was how effectively it simplified complex concepts, making them easy to remember. The extensive practice provided was invaluable, especially in making test day feel manageable. The course offers a wealth of well-organized content, covering all the essential topics of the GMAT. The ability to take custom tests was a significant advantage, allowing me to focus on my weak areas and strengthen my understanding.
In particular, the course was very useful for consolidating my math knowledge. The large number of quant questions and their varying levels of difficulty were crucial in helping me achieve a score of 90 in Quant. The rigorous practice questions were often more challenging than the actual exam, which made the real test feel less stressful and more straightforward. This rigorous preparation was a key factor in my success.
Additionally, the course provides excellent strategic advice for test day, which I found incredibly helpful. The tips and strategies for tackling questions based on their difficulty level were particularly beneficial. They helped me approach the exam with a clear plan, ensuring I could manage my time effectively and answer questions efficiently.
When I first started studying, I was overwhelmed by the breadth of topics covered in the GMAT and struggled to organize my study schedule. However, the GMAT Focus course helped me structure my time and goals, guiding me on what to study and target in each session. This organization was vital in my preparation, ensuring I was well-prepared for every aspect of the exam.
Overall, the TTP GMAT Focus course is highly recommended for anyone preparing for the GMAT. Its comprehensive content, strategic advice, and rigorous practice make it an excellent resource for achieving a high score

The Target Test Prep Course was really very helpful. I used it especially to strengthen my verbal and data insights. The materials provided for verbal not only taught me few tricks I should be adopting during the exam but also helped me get some fundamental aspects regarding each topic cleared. Also for each topic there are a lot of questions one can practice from. This gives the candidate enough exposure to GMAT like questions. Also, if we answer any question wrong, then the course allows you to choose why you answered it wrong. As you do this activity for various questions, it helps you identify what the most common mistake is while you are answering questions. Target test prep is highly recommended for all aspiring GMAT Focus takers!

Great product! I scored beyond my target. Well worth the money if you take the GMAT seriously. Chapter tests for Target Test Prep are significantly harder than the GMAT itself, so you will be more than ready when test day comes along. Simple lessons that are easy to understand and gives lots of practice. I was fortunate to be able to dedicate all of my time to studying, but I can very easily see someone working TTP studying and tests into their down time while working a job. The timing of practice tests and global reviews, paired with the test taking strategy section which the student takes sporadically throughout the course are all very helpful as well!
Cannot speak highly enough about TTP!!

Subscribing at e-gmat was the best choice ever.

The course provided me all the tools to reach my goals

Starting from the quality of teaching, every hour spent at e-gmat platform was worth it 5/6 hours of alone studying. The e-gmat structured approach was really useful to tackle the exam. Furthermore, the timely service support was also a point for which I would choose e-gmat again and again. They helped me when I was struggling through the course, and kept my motivation up till the exam day. The adaptive AI system is well engineered, it helps to save up time and really concentrate on types of questions you have more difficulties. Difficulties of preparation

TTP is a great resource that makes you build the right foundations and skills needed to be successful on test day. It truly helped me rebuild my confidence in Quant from scratch . The study plan suggested by TTP gave a clear idea of what I needed to do in order to get to my target score . Custom tests helped me work on my weaknesses while also learning to deal with time pressure.
I spent plenty of time taking thousands of exercises . It was really worth it. I ended up attaining a great score on test day despite being a non native speaker and being not accustomed to math anymore . Thank you TTP!

Overall I don't think I have too much more to add than what was stated in terms of specific pros or cons. I think one of the keys of this course was not just helping me navigate the content of the test, but the structure and methodology of the test independent of whatever content it may contain. There were lots of pieces of information that helped me really approach the test in a more intelligent way that I would not have been able to do independently. They really take the time to break down the test so that you understand what the test is and what it's trying to do. I think once I really understood what the test was and how it was testing me it made me approach it in an entirely new way. There were sections throughout the course reminding me what my goals were, reminding me to take my time, and that studying for a test like the GMAT is a marathon and not a sprint.
