Can't think of anything

I absolutely loved my experience with Target Test Prep for GMAT Focus! The curriculum is incredibly comprehensive, covering every aspect of the exam in great detail. What impressed me most was the adaptive learning platform - it felt like having a personal tutor who knew exactly what I needed to work on.
The question bank is massive, and I never ran out of practice material. Each question comes with a thorough explanation, which really helped me understand the underlying concepts. I also found the analytics incredibly useful. Being able to track my progress in real-time kept me motivated and helped me focus my efforts where they were most needed.
The flexible study plans were a lifesaver for me. I could easily adjust my schedule to fit my preparation around work and other commitments. Overall, I felt that TTP gave me a structured, efficient path to improve my GMAT Focus score. It's an investment in your future that I found well worth it.

Strengths:

Extremely comprehensive information on all topics. More than enough practice questions to hone in on various areas. Straight forward and organized learning plan.

Would make the product better:

Going through the entire learning plan perfectly will take over 3-4 months even with several hours of work each day. Not sure if TTP would improve have to improve anything with that but just something to be weary of if you want to do the given learning plan.

Target Test Prep has been great for my GMAT journey. I started with a 475 and bumped my score up to a 675 on the GMAT focus in less than three months. There are so many questions for each topic which allowed me to really hone in on topics and master them. I like how they outline a organized learning plan for you with questions for each chapter. One thing to note is that the learning plan will take over 3 months to do. I barely finished my entire learning plan and still got a 200 bump in score so if you are able to really dedicate and prepare a several months to TTP I am positive that you can get an even better bump or score!

Strengths:

Great questions, way of learning including review tests and chapter tests. Never had an issue with the explanation for questions in verbal which seemed to be the case with some GMATClub verbal questions.

Would make the product better:

Only thing I can say is to maybe have mocks. Only thing that could be considered missing.

It was a great course. The calendar view along with being able to put on how many hours I had each day/week really helped me know how long it would take and put some needed pressure on me to focus.

Not needing to use any other sources to study and not having to plan every time I study was helpful, made the whole process easier. I recommended it to other because once you study using TTP, you don't need anything else to study the material.

After doing this, your only focus needs to be to maximize test day ability and put yourself in that headspace to do exactly what you have been doing while practicing, which again, TTP helps with

Strengths:

TTP creates a tailored study plan that can be updated/modified as you prepare. By simply selecting which sections you want to focus on and designating a number of weekly study hours, TTP builds a day-by-day plan to complete the course by your test date.

A review of concepts is built into the course. As you move onto a new module, you are frequently tasked with completing quizzes on questions you missed from earlier sections, solidifying your understanding.

TTP offers strong explanations for answers to difficult questions. Each question has both a written and video explanation for how the problem is to be solved. Even if you are confused after reviewing these resources, you can contact their live helpline where they provide a personalized explanation.

Would make the product better:

After TTP, series/sequences was the only area I felt less prepared for on quant. These were 2 of the 4 questions I missed during my GMAT. However, my impression is that TTP is constantly updating its curriculum. During my subscription, multiple new readings were added to the quant section.

Target Test Prep was the single most impactful GMAT preparation service I used, specifically for the quant section. As someone with little experience in math, I scored a 29 percentile on the quant section of my diagnostic test. It was very apparent I needed a crash course, so I purchased a TTP subscription. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the decision.

TTP provided a comprehensive review of each topic in the quant section. You cover each topic by reading short digestible passages and immediately applying the concept to practice problems. Instead of becoming bogged down by lengthy readings, you learn a new concept, validate your understanding, and move on. This approach makes the course significantly more fun and engaging. At the end of each section, you are given practice tests of easy, medium, and hard difficulty. This organization forces you to both master the basics and apply new concepts to unfamiliar problems. Through TTP, I improved to 71 percentile in quant and raised my overall GMAT score by 90 points! Highly recommend.

Strengths:

Fantastic full coverage of all GMAT focus content (quant, verbal, and data insights). Each section was covered thoroughly with plenty of practice questions to achieve mastery in each section.

Would make the product better:

At times it feels a bit too thorough. I worked for months only to complete the first 10 missions and realized it was not sustainable. There was simply too much content to read through and practice questions to answer. I wish I had used TTP to fill in my weakest areas earlier on in my GMAT studying.

Overall Target Test Prep is in my opinion the best GMAT prep service out there. The course is designed to take anyone to a 705+ GMAT focus score with how thoroughly they cover each topic. I found the quant section on the actual GMAT focus was significantly easier than the TTP quant prep. While I was not able to complete even half the course with the 5-10 hours I set aside for GMAT studying each weak, I was able to identify my weaknesses and with the thoroughness of the TTP course was able to fill in those weaknesses. The many practice tests also allowed me practice my timing which proved instrumental in the actual test and allowed me to get the most out of the official mba.com practice tests by getting true benchmark scores without timing issues affecting my score.

Strengths:

1. Amazing lessons
2. A lot of practice problems to strengthen concepts

I got a 695 in GMAT Focus with the help of TTP study material. I used it mainly for verbal and DI as I was already good at quant.

I went carefully through all the CR and RC lessons and it helped me build strong foundation and the practice problems helped me strengthen the concepts.

I was able to apply techniques and get more questions right.
I used mock tests to analyse my learning and I saw consistent improvement. My score in mock went from 595 to 675.

I liked the text explanations to questions, they were detailed and thorough. Course teaches you the right way to attack problems and avoid tricks.

TTP is best if you want to improve your score.

Strengths:

The Quant study is very organized and takes a holistic approach to ensure that you address weak spots.

Would make the product better:

The data sufficiency questions could be improved upon to include logic-based questions as several of those showed up on the real exam.

This program is excellent for individuals who want to go through each topic in detail for the Quant section especially. With the surplus of questions, you can get more than enough practice for each unit and ensure that you are comfortable with all sorts of questions related to the topic at hand. A really neat feature involves creating custom tests such as only including questions you have gotten wrong or spent more than 3+ minutes on. This lets you filter through the overwhelming number of questions to address certain pain points and develop your quant skills.

I used this program for 1 month plus the 5 day trail before writing the GMAT Focus Test for the first time. I used the accelerated approach as I was familiar with some of the topics already and had somewhat of a decent quantitative foundation.

Strengths:

Structured perfectly. It's amazing to go through each chapter, do the practice questions as they come and then do the practice test phase at the end where you complete each level of practice tests. All in this makes you very prepared, I felt very confident going into the test.

Would make the product better:

Nothing really, perhaps some way to do a diagnostic and then only work on the sections in which you struggled.

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.

Strengths:

This course is going to give you all the fundamentals you need to succeed. In particular, this course is going to strongly improve your Quant fundamentals, especially if it has been a while since you last took a fundamental Quant class. The product also has a great interface to follow you, so you don't need to do planning. You just need to give yourself the appropriate time to follow the course plan and if you do so, and are calculated in taking more time on topics you struggle with, the Target Test Prep course will provide you with the right topic coverage and guidance to succeed.

Would make the product better:

When I took the course, the GMAT classic was transitioning to the GMAT Focus and the Data Insights section of the GMAT was newer so the content in the course was limited in comparison to the rest of the modules. Nonetheless, it gave me everything I needed to make substantial improvements in Data Insights scores.

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.

Strengths:

-Complete course, it looks to address every type of question and content.
-Specific orientation: it automatically designs a specific study plan according to your needs.
-Easy to follow: the recommendations and the study plan are there, it is up to you to follow it.

Would make the product better:

Could update the content faster: GMAT focus is constantly adding new content to the test. TTP does address this by updating the content they teach constantly. In my case, I had a few questions in the practice tests, which were not seen in the study plan. The plan was updated and such questions were included 3 days before the test, so I managed to check it short before the big day. Still, the course is enough to be very well prepared at test day, even if you have this kind of issues.

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.
