Quants was not my best suit as it is for most people from my country. After having studied using materials provided by Career Launcher online GMAT prep (an India based prep company), I scored Q44 in my first diagnostic mock. I expected it to be higher since I had gone through all of the concepts well. I tried doing a quant section from e-GMAT as well but I couldn't score well in the cementing quizzes they have and this left me feeling like a loser. I thought I didn't have it in me to do well in quants. Through the study buddy forum here I met a person who claimed that he had improved from Q42 to Q49-50 after using TTP. So I finally turned to TTP and decided to start with the 1$ trial. And I fell in love with their course!
Here's what I loved about TTP (specifically their quants):
1. The chapters make everything simple and very easy. I understood the logic behind everything and in effect, did not have to memorise anything. There is a logical progression to all the chapters and the sub-topics. It’s very easy to follow, especially for a person who never enjoyed Math. I started enjoying it for the first time.
2. Chapter tests: there are chapter tests after each chapter. These chapter tests have all difficulty level questions: easy, medium and hard. These are everything you need to practice the concepts learnt. They cover almost all types of questions that GMAT can possibly ask. You can rest assured that the concepts you’ve just learnt for a chapter will be ingrained in your head due to enough practice through repetition and comprehensive solutions.
3. Study plan: This is one of the best features on their platform. You can customise this based on your personal time commitment per day or week and it’ll show you exactly what you need to do everyday. There is a sense of achievement when a task is ticked off the plan and it always kept me going. This was key to my success as it kept me on track and showed me realistically how further I had to go.
4. Support: I reached out on their messenger often with small and big doubts, serious and silly questions, and Jeff and Marty were always there ready to answer. They gave long comprehensive answers and responded to any follow-up questions. They always replied well within 3 hours of asking the questions.
5. Strategy lessons and AWA: This program also gave me access to extremely insightful strategy and AWA lessons. Strategy lessons revolve around how to approach prep, how to take mocks, how to tackle pacing issues during the real exam, how to tackle anxiety before test day, etc. Their AWA lessons is all I referred to before the actual exam and scored a 6 on the actual AWA section.
6. Miscellaneous bonus points:
I got 15 days extension on my TTP plan through their reference program.
FYI: I finished the entire quant section with ALL the chapter and review tests in 3 months. They say the course is toooooo long. It is, but I found it fun and enjoyed it. It was almost like solving puzzles. They made it so enjoyable. I was able to finish the whole thing in 3 months by spending 4 hrs per day on average. Towards the end, I was scoring above Q47-50 consistently in official mocks and finally scored Q49 that is after I guessed on the last few questions and even missed marking one question.

710 Q48 V40 (Online)
TTP was instrumental in boosting my verbal score from V28 to V40. After failing to cross V30 mark for the third time, I finally decided to go with TTP as per suggestion from one of my very close friends (TTP helped her also to significantly improve the GMAT score). I had used certain other courses before starting TTP and was not very optimistic about it. I only focused on the verbal part as I scored decently in quant (Q49) without much preparation in my previous attempt.
I would say TTP surprised me with the depth of content it provides for its users. I started enjoying the course and saw my verbal reasoning skills improve significantly within 2 months. I finished only 20% of the overall course and started feeling confident.
After completing my 2 months of subscription, I enrolled for the 3rd month and decided to take my GMAT just one week after the enrollment. I took the online GMAT at home and scored a 710 (Q48 V40).
If I had one more month, I'm sure that I could have scores 750+ with the type of content TTP provides. But as I'm planning to apply in R2, I'm going ahead with a 710.
I can't thank enough to TTP for creating this amazing verbal course. The must knows are fantastic and the quality of questions is very impressive. A highly recommended course for anyone looking to improve hi//her score.
I used TTP to improve my quant score drastically. As my verbal was already quite strong, I did not use the verbal section at all.
For those who are rusty and weak on math, TTP is great for providing structure. It's incredibly comprehensive, and provides a dedicated study plan that helps to keep information fresh by forcing you to do do review quizzes after every chapter and module. My quant score improved from just above the mid 30s to a 48 on game day with TTP being my main prep source.
I would highly recommend TTP to anyone else looking for help with quant!!
Target Test Prep does an incredible job preparing students for the GMAT. The course takes a holistic and exhaustive view of the GMAT and ultimately delivers a user-friendly curriculum focused on mastery of fundamentals and underlying concepts rather than strategies to "hack" the GMAT. Because of TTP's distinctive approach, there was no question on the GMAT exam that I was not prepared for. I am truly a firm believer that by combining Target test prep's curriculum with hard work and dedication, anyone can obtain consistent, exceptional results. Would highly recommend this course to everyone and anyone thinking about taking the GMAT.
I would recommend TTP without hesitation.
I started using TTP after a failed attempt with another prep course, and I don't regret my decision.
My takeaways are the following:
1) TTP helped me demystify several aspects of the GMAT. We all know that the GMAT is a difficult test, but some elements are over-mystified.
2) The platform is neat and well-designed. You won't waste time navigating through the interface.
3) The course is comprehensive and somewhat extensive. But it has a purpose. The level of detail in each of the lessons is intended to help you master the topics tested on the GMAT. Don't feel discouraged by the quantity of the study material! I promise you that you'll go through each lesson with ease.
4) The calendar feature is amazing! At first, I struggled to organize my study sessions. But, when TTP introduced its Calendar feature, I had a clear idea of which lessons I had to tackle on a particular day.
5) The course has plenty of practice material. You'll have access to practice problems within each lesson and quizzes for each topic. I barely used other question banks.
6) The TTP team does an excellent job to help you whenenever you are stuck. Don't hesitate to ask them for help!
In the end, TTP helped me achieve a score of 700 (Q45, V40).

TTP is a brilliant course overall. After all the research I conducted, I found out that TTP is best known for it's Quant section prep, but the verbal is brilliant too. Even though I am a non-native speaker, I've always learned English how a native speaker would, and TTP's SC uses exactly those principles, with a clear and concise explanation for all the concepts tested. Moreover, the entire team at TTP is extremely helpful, it's incredible how they haven't run out of patience(lol). Scott, Marty and Jeff are the only ones I've had the pleasure of having an interaction with. Whether it's a question about the course, or a certain concept itself, they're always active on Gmatclub, and the Gmat subreddit. If you need one GMAT course, that won't break the bank, please choose TTP, your score will definitely do your decision justice.

750 Q50 V41 (Online)
When I decided to go to war with the GMAT, I was overwhelmed with the multitude of study options available to me. With so much material to cover, I kept bouncing from one topic to the next without any clear study path. I decided I needed a program that would provide the direction I so desperately needed and TTP turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.
By following the TTP course, I developed a strong understanding of the material the GMAT tests and learned a number of test taking strategies that allowed me to efficiently work through test questions. I really appreciated the way the course was structured to teach you new material, test you, and then follow up on that material at various points throughout the course to cement the knowledge.
Anyone looking to get the most out of their studies, I highly recommend the TTP course!
I was introduced to TTP through reddit. I had read a lot of rave reviews so I decided to try out its free trial version. I loved its structured approach to teaching and therefore ended up buying the one month flexible plan.
I was really impressed with the way they have dealt with every little detail for Quant as well as Verbal sections with really helpful tips and tricks to save time as well. The option to chat with one of the experts regarding any queries one might have during the study is another great feature.
I think this course is ideal for someone who is aiming for a 700+ GMAT score. I would definitly recommend this course!
I used TTP after more than 1.5 year of studies for GMAT. I had a 630 (49Q/27V) score on my first try of the official exam. I used the platform for about 1.5 month and took a new GMAT exam, got a 660 (48Q/33V). Used it for 2 weeks more and took a new GMAT 730 (49Q/41V). I consider I could already have a 700+ score when I took 660, but I wasn't relaxed enough, when I could manage it, I got a good score.
I think TTP was essencial in my Verbal studies because I had studied a lot before, but many basic concepts weren't well understood by me. I had to be smart using TTP, since their content is very extensive and I had just a short time, but skipping some subjects and going directly to the ones I really didn't know, worked very well for me. I consider the best resource of theoretical content for Verbal I used. Besides, the structure of content -> basic questions (that are not in the same format of GMAT) -> simulation questions (same format of GMAT) was awesome for me!
TTP helped me get my dream GMAT score!
The course is well laid out and as long as you follow it step by step, you'll have all the tools you need to get a high score.
The course contains a huge number of practice problems and review quizzes. Every quant and verbal concept tested in the GMAT is represented in the TTP course.
In the study material, the more difficult questions usually have a short video explanation, but the written answer explanations are also quite clear. This is true for both the verbal and quant sections and having good answer explanations for the verbal section is really useful.
You also have access to some neat analytics that helps identify weak areas, which is great to have in the weeks leading up to the real GMAT. The ‘Strategy’ section is a great help since the GMAT is not just about preparation, but also about execution.
The TTP course is heavy in material, more so than other courses I’ve seen, but if you dedicate the time, you are almost certain to get a high score!
