Target Test Prep: Only Quant Prep You Need

Course Target Test Prep Flexible Prep

Hello person reading this,

Just wanted to write this quick review to let everyone know that Target Test Prep really is the only quant prep you need. I have taken the GMAT 4x. First time I took it, I scored a dismal 25 in quant. Second time I scored a 38. The third time, I scored a 42. By this time, I had used Manhattan Prep, GMAT Club Tests, and the OG books. The fourth time I took it, the only prep I used was the Target Test Prep course. This product is the best by far for quant. No other product comes close. However, it only focuses Quant, so if you need to study verbal you will need to find something else in conjunction. Not only does TTP focus on improving your quant skills for the test, it also takes a holistic approach to learning and test day in general. They offer tips for learning better, such as active learning, being present, etc. This course will help give you tips to learn better in other areas as well. Well anyway, after the last test I scored a 49 on quant! My only regret is not finding TTP sooner. It would have saved me a few tests and a lot of time and money. So if you are reading this and you are unsure what to get. GET THIS! You really won't regret it. Hope this helps. Please feel free to message me!

I'm not sure how somebody is humanly capable of completing TTP in less than 3-4 months. The course was exactly what I needed to hone my skills in Quant. I learned that the GMAT takes a combination of skill and ability, but not much knowledge outside of some formulas.

Both your skill and ability will improve dramatically with the amount of questions TTP will throw at you.

They help you build a skill and then test your ability, help build another skill and test your ability....rinse and repeat.

Proof is in the pudding, go check out my debrief below!

Course Experts' Global "Must Have" GMAT Review

Location Online

While preparing for the GMAT, we all face this issue of having just 6 official mocks. Most of the third-party mock tests are not representative of the GMAT Exam.

But Experts' Global’ s 15 mock test is the best deal. In my experience, they were truly representative of my overall score in exam. Specifically, the Quant part replicates the actual GMAT.

These 15 mocks helped a great deal in overcoming the fear of actual GMAT and built the right stamina needed for the exam. The level of RC passages in the mocks is high and their structure is complex.

It will definitely prepare you well for the GMAT RC’s.

Course Manhattan Prep Live Online

Instructor Jamie Nelson

Location Online

The Manhattan prep curriculum is great and Jamie was the best instructor! They have plenty of practice set available that you wont run out. The class sessions were especially valuable in helping me. I got behind on the homework, so the live online classes were really what kept me focused and engaged each week.

Before I took the class I was just doing practice problems in the official guide but seeing minimal progress. MP's curriculum really helps you to attack the test the way that the writers are trying to teach you. That is ultimately what contributed to my 100 point increase from my first 2 practice test to the real GMAT.

So glad I did it! Made my goal of a 700+ score a reality!

Instructor Jeff Vollmer

Jeff was my instructor for the 9-session online course and coaching sessions. I highly recommend Jeff as an instructor!

He was engaging and thorough. He's great at pushing you to use multiple methods to arrive at quant solutions and helping you identify key clues in SC and CR problems. Several times after getting problems wrong, I had "aha" moments as he explained what the questions were really asking.

I started the course having done no prior preparation and with no review of any quant concepts since I graduated 5 years ago. I scored a 550 on my first practice test but was confident that I could make big improvements based on methods presented in the first few classes and making shifts in the way I thought about problems.

The course really facilitated this by providing a structure to my studies and integrating nicely with the course materials. Jeff was also great at providing encouragement when I was getting discouraged after plateau-ing at 650-620. He was very helpful in analyzing my practice CATs and identifying subjects and areas to focus on. Jeff also helped me devise a practice CAT schedule with specific goals for each CAT in the weeks leading up to my exam that I was able to use to guide my studying.

I am extremely pleased with this course and with Jeff's tutoring. Would highly recommend!

Must have resource for Quant

As a non-STEM candidate with a poor math background TTP was a lifesaver. It helped me bring up my initial results up from the low 30s to a 45Q on the GMAT.

TTP covered all of the topics on the GMAT in-depth and provided over 2400 practice questions to get comfortable with the content.

I began my initial studying with the MGMAT books and found them to be lacking for quant - not enough questions and the concepts were not covered very well. TTP bridges that gap and I would go as far as to say that it is the only quant resource required.

I absolutely loved this course. As I did a Languages undergraduate degree, I had not done Maths in over 6 years, so I was slightly anxious about Quant. I knew I had a lot to cover, and I wanted to take the GMAT within 2 months of starting the course. After reading a lot of good reviews, I chose the TTP course and focused solely on that for the first part of my study.

The reviews were 100% right! This is a highly structured and easy to follow course. I love how organised it is, and how each module built the basis for the next. After each lesson there are loads of exercises and continuous review tests to make sure you're fully consolidating the material learnt as you go. When I say I had to go back to basics - I mean it. I was even relearning long division in the beginning. The fact that each lesson came with detailed examples, videos, and digestible explanations meant that I was never lost.

Additionally, the few times I wasn't 100% clear on a concept or exercise, I would ask for help and Jeff would immediately (I mean within even 2 mins!) offer me clarification. This meant that I was always 100% confident on the material, and everything else came down to practice. I loved Jeff's and Scott's explanations so much that when I was looking for solutions for official GMAT questions on forums, I always looked for their explanation (and cried when there wasn't one :( )

What's more, the course comes with THOUSANDS of exercises, from easy to hard difficulty. I completed all of them, which basically turns you into a quant machine, and after that there are hardly any GMAT questions up to 700-level that will surprise you. I didn't even use the OG quant questions (I know, a questionable decision, but my budget wasn't massive) - but TTP and the 6 official mocks were enough.

I think how good this course is is evidenced by my score improvement: I scored 590 (33V, 39Q) on my first Official Test Prep in the end of November 2019. In February 2020 I took the GMAT for the first time and scored 720, with 49Q!

I definitely recommend this course to ANYONE looking to achieve any GMAT score (whether that's 600, 650 or 700+). The only thing I was sad about was the fact that they did not have a verbal course - but Scott tells me it's in the works, so that's good news for you guys still studying!

I signed up for the GMAT in June last year. I bought the official guides along with the books of a well-known and widely used provider. I studied from the books for about 3 months and took a mock test in September - I wasn't happy with my Quant results. While the guides were helpful for Verbal, they were not so much for Quant, so I decided to sign up for TTP and start from scratch following a recommendation from a close friend. I found the methodology of the course to work well for people like me who have packed schedules and limited time, as the study plan is already designed and organised – you just must follow the course step by step. The course is flexible depending on your target score, and if you aim for the best results it can be very time consuming, but it is absolutely worth the investment. I booked my first GMAT attempt 4 months after signing up for TTP and scored a 710 despite not having had enough time to finish the course. After that much practice, the quant part of the test felt just like taking one of the end-of-chapter tests in the course. You end up doing a lot of problems testing the same concepts from different angles, and the solutions are intuitive and well explained. Furthermore, the team always responds very quickly through the chat feature and is always keen to help in case you don’t understand an explanation.

I now plan on using the built-in analytics feature to work on weak areas and re-take the exam in the coming months to improve my score. I would absolutely recommend TTP to anybody who’s just starting their GMAT journey.

Good luck!

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

Location Online

I've purchased verbal course, hence my review is only related to verbal. Before joining this course, I had attempted GMAT prep mock and studied from manhattan books, gmatclub and daagh explanation. hence my verbal score was okay. However, after working for 2-3 months, I took another mock and my prep mock score went down by 5 points, I thought there must be some issue. I attempted different mock, my score was same.

Sentence correction looked okay at starting, but it's too lengthy and meaning based approach takes lot of time even though you practiced a lot.

I talked to my friend, he had similar experience. I've started using manhattan books, and gmat ninja's videos to graps basics again.

I wouldn't recommend this course. Looks like I wasted my precious 2-3 months. Because of this time waste, I have to postpone my GMAT date, hence I am reporting GMAT prep score. and I am writing this review since I've completed the course, so I eligible.

As a lawyer, I had real difficulties with the quant section of the gmat. I had been studying for more than 1 year and a half, used several types of resources such as Manhattan books, Kaplan, Total Math, Magoosh, gmat club tests, in-person classes, and when I was already loosing hopes I found Target Test Prep. It was by far the best resource I had found for the quant section of the gmat and the first one to have theory for every topic with specific sets of tests ranging from easy to difficult. When I finished all the lessons and tests, I practiced randomly for more 2 days, took the test and scored a 48Q! Had I found it earlier on, it'd have saved me a lot of time and struggle.
