Target Test Prep GMAT Course Reviews

Strengths:

-Structure of the course
-Amount of practice quizzes
-Ample opportunities for review through course progression

Would make the product better:

-Additional verbal practice questions

TTP is the best way to prepare for the GMAT, period. The content is well-structured, and ensures that your base of knowledge as it relates to the type of questions asked is very strong. I was initially skeptical about the efficacy of an online course, but there is a reason why so many people, including myself, recommend this course. It is comprehensive, and perhaps most crucially, it has features that eliminate so much of the administrative pain associated with studying. The integrated error log as you progress through the score is so helpful. Same story with the TTP analytics, which help hone in on weak areas.

If you put the effort in, a fantastic 700+ score is possible.

Strengths:

The curriculum is very well structured and covers any topic you need.

Would make the product better:

Nothing

I was stuck at a plateau of 700/710 and saw no way out. I took one month of the TTP course for verbal and some sections of quant and it was a game changer. The curriculum was very well structured and covered all important aspects needed. I followed the course cover to cover and did all the quizes as they came. Within 30 days, I saw a great improvement in my concepts and was able to apply them much better. After that, I re solved the Og and my practice tests had over 30/40 point difference. Would recommend to anyone aiming for a 700+

Strengths:

TTP has a fantastic course structure, and a great mixture of concept deep-dive, practice questions, and quizzes.

Would make the product better:

The verbal section can include more practice sets.

TTP is an amazing GMAT prep resource, and it helped me through every stage of my GMAT prep journey, from laying a solid knowledge foundation, to advancing my problem-solving skills and getting my target score. The QUANT and VERBAL section are super thorough, coupled with many high-quality practice questions. The practice questions also came with very detailed explanations, which allowed me to review my mistakes and bridge my knowledge gap really effectively. Another thing I like about TTP is that it shares a motivational quote every time you log in - this might be trivial but it did inspire me a lot throughout this arduous testing prepping journey :) I would highly recommend it to anyone who's prepping for the GMAT!

Strengths:

The ability to track the time spent per week and month in the program as well as easily see progress towards completing the entire study plan. TTP created a very easily to follow study plan to achieve your score goals.

Would make the product better:

No complaints.

TTP was a great ROI and allowed me to achieve my score goal. Prior to any prep, I took an official practice test and scored a 500. After completing TTP, I took the GMAT and scored a 720.

The ability to track the time spent per week and month in the program as well as easily see progress towards completing the entire study plan. TTP created a very easily to follow study plan to achieve your score goals.

I'd suggest to those taking the test to start with their weaker section (or section with the most score variability) on the official test, so they will be fresh for their more challenging section.

Strengths:

- Complete, well-structured, and unique Verbal course designed to improve the student's level of sophistication of the thinking
- Realistic and effective study plan, comprehensive of any needed material to reach your target score
- Most effective Quant course on the market
- A team of trained professionals always ready to reply to any doubt/question you could have

Would make the product better:

The only minor recommendation I can come up with would be the possibility for late-night students not to see their study plan be rescheduled after midnight.
That is really the only adjustment I would make to this course, because besided this minor inconvenience, it's just perfect.

I will comment mainly on the TTP Verbal course, because before my V33 GMAT attempt I had studied Verbal from other sources, and it definitely didn't work for me. After the V33 attempt, I started to use the TTP Verbal course to improve my Verbal performance.

The Verbal course was unique. Mind-blowing is the word I would use.
In roughly 3 weeks, the Verbal course brought me to an outstanding V42 on my 2nd GMAT attempt.
The course never focuses on made-up gimmicks or grammar, but teaches you to use bullet-proof logic and concrete reasons to eliminate incorrect answer choices.
I could see daily improvements in my Verbal performance in ANY section, on ANY question type, I was just amazed at my improvement.

If I had started to study the Verbal section from TTP from the very start of my GMAT prep, I would have likely scored even higher. Quite a statement.
With this Verbal course, there is not any ceiling to how high you can score.

I won't even bother commentating on the completeness and well-thought design of the Quant course. It's the best in the market and it's not even a secret. I was scoring Q48 and Q49 on the OG Official Practice tests, consistently, and it definitely showed on the real exam.

If you're in doubt, do yourself a favor and buy this course right now.

Strengths:

TTP is strong in covering all areas of the exam. Most reviews here will say they are best at Quant, and I agree with that claim. In addition, their Reading Comprehension lessons helped me view the section in a new way and overcome a pattern of common mistakes.

Would make the product better:

I have very few points of feedback because the most important elements of the program, the content of the lessons, and the practice problem sets are great. TTP could improve the % complete tracker, which indicates how much of the program you have completed. For some reason there were two different numbers and they were always slightly different, so I wasn't sure which was accurate at a given time.

TTP gave me the fundamental building blocks to approach the test differently and more efficiently than I had before I started with TTP. Before starting with TPP, I would just do random problems sets and problems from the GMAT book. At the time, I didn't understand how much I had to un-learn and re-learn in order to approach problems from a new, improved perspective.

TTP offers countless problem sets that are very high quality and prepared me well for the test. While I can only claim this from my own perspective, I feel like a good portion of the TTP 'Medium' questions were actually borderline 'Hard' by GMAT standards. Because of this, I felt comfortable and capable when difficulty would start to increase on true practice tests. (I don't claim this to be the case! Just an anecdotal pattern I picked up on).

If you are considering the 6-month, Maximum learning option, be prepared to commit yourself to the GMAT process for the long-term. I needed this option as someone who had plateaued in studying on my own and as someone who has testing anxiety. TPP is ultimately what you make of it, but it offers the ideal framework to succeed.

Strengths:

-Extremely thorough and comprehensive
-Structured study plan
-More than enough practice problems to develop skills in each topic that is tested by the GMAT

Would make the product better:

I don't have many comments in terms of improvement. The only thing I would say is that the problems you will actually see from the official problem sets will be slightly different and will require a bit of a mental gear shift. The TTP problems are not so different that they won't teach you anything, but please keep this in midn.

This program is extremely comprehensive and will take you 95% of the distance to getting an extremely high score. I would not have scored nearly as high without the structure that this program provided. Being able to reach out to tutors to answer individual questions was also a great option that I used often. It took me around 4 months to get through the entirety of the course. It was definitely a grind but worth the effort. After I completed the course, I took my first practice exam and scored a 690. To be fair, by the time I finished the course, there was quite a bit I didn't remember from the beginning (for the Verbal section specifically). I then switched gears to practicing only OG practice problems to figure out where my weaknesses were and then would return to TTP to review my weaker subjects. After lots of practice problems I was feeling comfortable with problems at the highest level of difficulty. TTP is a fantastic program and I cannot recommend it enough.

Strengths:

I have never studied from books and have almost always used video lectures. But TTP’s approach to written concepts was so much better. I found the language and style on instruction extremely simple and to the point.

Would make the product better:

The verbal section has too few questions. So would help if they increased in there question bank with more exam like questions.

In all honesty, I could have saved a year if I had known about TTP earlier on. I was initially hesitant because of the price, as I do not earn in dollars. But TTP was worth every penny. So anyone who is confused where they need to start for the GMAT just get started this course is a life saver!

Just follow the course as they say. I covered all of quant first so you can do it one component first and then move to the other. Make sure to do every single question as Scott advises if you want to reach your score. The course is robust and the only thing you might need apart from the course is the OG question bank.

Strengths:

- Personalized study plan tailored to your personal needs, time availability, and goals
- Content is extremely extensive and comprehensive
- Explanations are offered in writting - many are also offered in video format
- Thousands of practice questions for Quant section
- Verbal section is very clear and detailed

Would make the product better:

- Would include video explanations in the theory sections of the study plan for both Quant and Verbal
- Would include more practice questions to the Verbal section

TTP is a wonderful product that helped me achieve a 700+ score over the course of 3 months. The study plan offered by TTP is extremely comprehensive and covers all the contents with great detail - both Quant and Verbal. It really helped me acquire the core skills that are required to succeed in the GMAT. Overall, it was incredibly useful to get a profound understanding of all the different topics tested in the GMAT prior to practicing with Official GMAT exams. TTP allows you to select the type of study plan that best suits your needs and, if you are willing to put in the time and hard work, I can guarantee you will achieve your target score.

TTP offers the most comprehensive GMAT Study Prep material. I also bought E-Gmat course but TTP Verbal course was much better and helped me understand many concepts in depth and it provides advanced and basic questions for each topic in the verbal section. Also Marty is a great tutor for the verbal section whose tutoring videos are available on youtube. TTP simplifies advanced concepts and helps you improve speed, accuracy and provides simple and efficient strategies for the verbal section. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to improve their verbal score to choose target test prep. Although I scored a V32 , I would have scored better if I had more time with TTP material but I was satisfied with my overall score due to Q50 which helped me get into MS CS.
