735 Q85 V90 DI84 (Online)
Strengths:
Breadth and depth of topics, detailed yet flexible study plan. Great range of easy to complex quant questions., as well as verbal questions covering all required topics. As well as detailed question breakdown, performance tracking, and a responsive support team.
Would make the product better:
Content for GMAT focus could continue to be refined as details of the focus exam are better defined.
I recently completed my GMAT prep with Target Test Prep and was thoroughly impressed by their structured course and exceptional support team. Their comprehensive materials and personalized assistance played a pivotal role in me achieving a 735 GMAT focus score. The structure of the test prep plan, boosted my confidence and significantly contributed to my success. For anyone aiming high on the GMAT or GMAT focus, Target Test Prep is a game-changer, offering both the resources and support to excel. I highly recommend their program for its direct impact on my score and the opportunities it has unlocked for me. I recommend this to anyone regardless of where they are in their study journey.

Strengths:
Quant foundations
Would make the product better:
Verbal explanations can be improved
TTP is a great resource to use for GMAT prep. Would recommend to supplement this with official questions and videos from the GMATNinja verbal and DI series
Great material to go through for quant related topics, lots of questions, incredible depth of materials and explanations. Some questions in the material are also slightly harder than the actual GMAT which helps you prepare well for any unexpected hard questions on the actual test.
The verbal section dives a bit too deep into question types too quickly, and I feel there is opportunity to add material that helps students holistically identify traps and choose between the final 2 (most confusing) answer choices. It's useful to start off with TTP for a topic like this, and then supplement with other resources if you feel your score is plateauing
Strengths:
The Quant sections were very step-by-step and consequently easy to follow. I never felt overwhelmed, even when learning some concept I could not remember at all from high school or middle school. Examples embedded within each lesson were also helpful for solidifying skills.
Verbal sections were similarly helpful in their step-by-step nature. Emphasized all of the different variations of verbal questions that showed up on the test. Tons of practice and examples too.
Would make the product better:
Not much to suggest here!
I absolutely recommend this product. I would have been lost in my GMAT studying without it, and its detailed structure made it easy to create a study plan to follow. It covered Quant topics in detailed, manageable steps, and I was able to easily relearn concepts I hadn't seen in years. There are tons of practice problems to work through at different levels of difficulty, which really allowed me to focus on what I was struggling with. The platform also gives test-taking advice and strategies, which are supplemented throughout Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights lessons. It has additional tools such as flashcards as well, which were especially useful for memorizing equations and such.

Strengths:
TTP identifies, targets, and works on your weaknesses; friendly team; streamlined and efficient interface; highly detailed questions with both video and written explanations for solutions.
Would make the product better:
The only thing I would change (and maybe the approach to this is expressly intentional) is to allow one to reorder the mission interface to place their weakest subjects earlier. Through the iterative learning model, this would allow one to get more reps of the weaker subjects.
TTP is a comprehensive, effective, and accessible GMAT test prep program that enables candidates to score a 705+ score. TTP was perfect for reconfirming my foundations for the quant and DI sections. I was able to raise my score by 120 points in two months through TTP's mission learning approach. The service is perfect for forcing you to lock down concepts that you may have learned in the past but have lost some memory of. I really appreciate the number of reps TTP had me do to make sure that I really understood a concept. The questions accurately mirror the questions on the actual exam and comprehensively cover all of the sections in a coherent manner. The software intersperses highly beneficial sections on test-taking strategies and time management skills tailored for the GMAT focus.
I highly recommend TTP to anyone who is serious about improving their GMAT score.

665 Q80 V85 DI84 (Online)
Strengths:
Tailored study plan with amazing content. It teaches not only the subjects but the different many ways the GMAT will test you on every subject.
Would make the product better:
Sometimes, the platform would mistankely suggest to retake some specific parts of previously completed chapters.
The TTP course was a game changer for me. I took the test on december 2023 and got a 575 score. Then took the course for 3 months and achieved a 665 score on march 2024.
I think that Target Test Prep stands oput for 3 main reasons:
1. They explain the Quant concepts in a very simple and clear way.
2. The course not only explains the different concepts that appear on the test, but also all the many different ways in which the test will ask questions about each subject.
3. The course constantly reinforces previous chapters with quizzes and assignments so that you do not forget what you learned in the beginning.

Strengths:
The product is really well structured. If you want a plataform that help yourself to structure your study plan, it's great!
Would make the product better:
The learning part is really long, i think that the diagnostic test could be more accurate on understanding the strong points and taking it off from the learning section.
Other feature i miss, is a better dashboard from the output of the questions you took from the practice section. Seeing more insightful informations such as an graph with improvement on sections would be awesome.
This was the most structured study plataform i've used for gmat.
As a non native english speaker, i've always had problem on the verbal section of the gmat. The new gmat focus helped me since it took off the SC part, however i found out that the teaching structure of the RC and the CR sections helped me to answer the questions faster than i did before.
I've also used the data section a lot, specially the question bank, it has helped me to ace a really good score on data
For the quant, i almost didn't use the learning, but the question bank also helped to me prepare for the test.

675 Q81 V90 DI79 (Online)
Strengths:
I loved how thorough TTP was. The other courses simply did not have the same depth when it came to explaining quant.
Would make the product better:
I think the strategies from the verbal section are too long. It would be nice to have an accelerated verbal option.
TTP was amazing and helped me get my dream score. I went from 555 to 675 with their help!
When I first started studying, I knew my biggest challenge would be the quant section. On my first practice test I got 25th percentile in quant. On my first official test (before finding TTP), I got 35th percentile on quant. TTP ended up helping me get my quant score up to 71st percentile, which when paired with the rest of my score, helped me score in the 96th percentile overall!
What mainly separates them from the others is that they assume you know nothing about math at the beginning. This was crucial for me because I had not taken a math course in 6 years!
Strengths:
Extremely detailed, well organized categories of quant, verbal, and data. Customizable study plan based on desired score.
Would make the product better:
I would only recommend more practice questions! I did the maximum amount possible, but would've loved to try more.
TTP was essential for me to achieve such a large increase in my score. Having no prep and jumping into TTP, I completed the course and felt confident regarding content going into my practice exam phase. The lessons and study plan in TTP are extremely comprehensive. At no point did I ever feel as though I hadn't seen any kind of new information on the GMAT official guides and exam. Scott and the instructors are very responsive and on GMAT Club, I find their explanations the most understandable as well. With TTP I was able to jump from a 505 first practice exam score to a 645 GMAT Focus official score. Thank you TTP!
Strengths:
Very thorough course that it split up into sections based on types of questions and skills needed to succeed. This helps fine tune specific skills and understand weakness areas to focus on.
Would make the product better:
I think the course was a little dense in the sense of it taking quite a while. A lot of that was it being a little wordy.
Such a great and thorough class that really explores every area of the GMAT Focus. I started this class with little knowledge of how the test worked or what it would be asking, and after going through TTP I felt totally confident and prepared to succeed. My score went from a 575 to a 645 in 6 months! I would recommend, and be sure to track mistakes to get the most out of it.
I would emphasize that this course takes 100+ hours to complete, and trying to do it any faster than this will not be helpful. Be sure to be thorough! Best of luck.
Strengths:
TTP logically breaks up the material into topics that build on the skills that you learn in previous lessons. The program is so thorough that completing the course prepares you to handle any question you'll see on the GMAT!
Would make the product better:
I genuinely have no recommendations for improvement.
TTP is the real deal. This is the only GMAT prep course you will need to ace the GMAT! TTP gives you all the tools necessary to succeed and structures their course so that you can reach your goal as soon as possible! TTP was absolutely critical in helping me achieve my score. The material gave me such a great foundation of knowledge and skills before moving on to Official Guide Practice Questions. Just as important, the topical structure of TTP allowed me to easily revisit topics of weakness to practice, review, and refine skills before test day. I highly recommend TTP!!
