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.

TTP is very thorough and well organized.

None I can think of

This is a great course. It's got levels to select based on the score you're targeting, and I picked the highest tier. It's very thorough. It took a lot of time. I spent about 9 months on it, and about 500 study hours. If you want a hardcore review of basically any topic that might come up on the GMAT, then this program provides that. It can be challenging, but the GMAT is challenging, so I consider that a benefit. It also really helped me train up for the mental fatigue that comes with taking a test that's as long and demanding as this one is, which I assume will also be good practice for grad school.

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.

The TTP GMAT Focus course was crucial in my preparation and ultimate success on the GMAT Focus. One of the most notable aspects of the course was how effectively it simplified complex concepts, making them easy to remember. The extensive practice provided was invaluable, especially in making test day feel manageable. The course offers a wealth of well-organized content, covering all the essential topics of the GMAT. The ability to take custom tests was a significant advantage, allowing me to focus on my weak areas and strengthen my understanding.
In particular, the course was very useful for consolidating my math knowledge. The large number of quant questions and their varying levels of difficulty were crucial in helping me achieve a score of 90 in Quant. The rigorous practice questions were often more challenging than the actual exam, which made the real test feel less stressful and more straightforward. This rigorous preparation was a key factor in my success.
Additionally, the course provides excellent strategic advice for test day, which I found incredibly helpful. The tips and strategies for tackling questions based on their difficulty level were particularly beneficial. They helped me approach the exam with a clear plan, ensuring I could manage my time effectively and answer questions efficiently.
When I first started studying, I was overwhelmed by the breadth of topics covered in the GMAT and struggled to organize my study schedule. However, the GMAT Focus course helped me structure my time and goals, guiding me on what to study and target in each session. This organization was vital in my preparation, ensuring I was well-prepared for every aspect of the exam.
Overall, the TTP GMAT Focus course is highly recommended for anyone preparing for the GMAT. Its comprehensive content, strategic advice, and rigorous practice make it an excellent resource for achieving a high score

Strengths:

The plethora of questions they have for each topic is commendable. Moreover, each question is bucketed topic wise and difficulty wise. Thus, giving the candidate fair idea on how they are performing.

Would make the product better:

Though the entire course is very helpful and really helped me boost by score, I found it a tad bit costly. Something that can be looked at especially for Indian candidates.

The Target Test Prep Course was really very helpful. I used it especially to strengthen my verbal and data insights. The materials provided for verbal not only taught me few tricks I should be adopting during the exam but also helped me get some fundamental aspects regarding each topic cleared. Also for each topic there are a lot of questions one can practice from. This gives the candidate enough exposure to GMAT like questions. Also, if we answer any question wrong, then the course allows you to choose why you answered it wrong. As you do this activity for various questions, it helps you identify what the most common mistake is while you are answering questions. Target test prep is highly recommended for all aspiring GMAT Focus takers!

Strengths:

Great at making concepts simple and easy to remember, and gives lots of transferrable practice to make test day the easiest day.

Would make the product better:

I excelled at the verbal section, and quit doing verbal lessons/practice after only a few modules, and still scored in the 98th percentile for verbal. Keeping in mind that everyone may not be as lucky as me in this regard, I do think the verbal portion can be less material, saving studiers some time.

Great product! I scored beyond my target. Well worth the money if you take the GMAT seriously. Chapter tests for Target Test Prep are significantly harder than the GMAT itself, so you will be more than ready when test day comes along. Simple lessons that are easy to understand and gives lots of practice. I was fortunate to be able to dedicate all of my time to studying, but I can very easily see someone working TTP studying and tests into their down time while working a job. The timing of practice tests and global reviews, paired with the test taking strategy section which the student takes sporadically throughout the course are all very helpful as well!
Cannot speak highly enough about TTP!!

Strengths:

TTP teaches you all the right strategies to be employed in test day on the various topics covered by the GMAT. There is plenty of content and it’s all very well organized. The possibility of taking custom tests is a big plus. Everything is designed to make you develop the right foundations for a successful test day.

Would make the product better:

Overall the product is very complete and well designed

TTP is a great resource that makes you build the right foundations and skills needed to be successful on test day. It truly helped me rebuild my confidence in Quant from scratch . The study plan suggested by TTP gave a clear idea of what I needed to do in order to get to my target score . Custom tests helped me work on my weaknesses while also learning to deal with time pressure.
I spent plenty of time taking thousands of exercises . It was really worth it. I ended up attaining a great score on test day despite being a non native speaker and being not accustomed to math anymore . Thank you TTP!

Strengths:

Overall this program was instrumental in the completion and success of my GMAT FE journey. When I first started studying for the test I had ordered the GMAC official study material and was just reviewing chapter after chapter. It became very clear to me early on that I had no way to effectively organize my study schedule for such a large test that covers so many different topics. TTP really did help me organize my time, goals, and what I should be studying/targeting every session leading up the the actual exam. This course was also rigorous in the sense that I felt like the practice was harder than the test itself, which really helped making the actual exam feel a lot less stressful.

Would make the product better:

As a comp sci. undergrad, I have a big thing for good intuitive UI and platforms that are flexible enough to meet the needs of all users. For me, I sometimes felt the UI and error tracking was a bit underwhelming in terms of functionality. I'd like to see the addition of custom error tracking statuses as I found I was often making errors that I didn't really feel fell into any of the fixed groups. I'd also like to see functionality to skip lessons instead of having to wait for them to expire.

Overall I don't think I have too much more to add than what was stated in terms of specific pros or cons. I think one of the keys of this course was not just helping me navigate the content of the test, but the structure and methodology of the test independent of whatever content it may contain. There were lots of pieces of information that helped me really approach the test in a more intelligent way that I would not have been able to do independently. They really take the time to break down the test so that you understand what the test is and what it's trying to do. I think once I really understood what the test was and how it was testing me it made me approach it in an entirely new way. There were sections throughout the course reminding me what my goals were, reminding me to take my time, and that studying for a test like the GMAT is a marathon and not a sprint.

Strengths:

- In-depth content with a lot of reading.
- Many opportunities to test your learning.
- Amazing course structure.

Would make the product better:

I think they could improve the notes section. I did not want to have to go through a new html website every time I wanted to review a chapter. Instead I think it would be better to implement drop down columns for being able to review your notes, and be able to expand the text without being transported to the original lesson where you took the note. On the other hand, the flashcard function is underrated. It is awesome for being productive during train rides.

I believe it is very beneficial to get a course to study for the GMAT. A course will structure your learning and make studying more efficient/faster. I looked through different providers and believed TTP to have the highest quality for a reasonable price. At first, GMAT seemed extremely challenging and foreign, but TTP does a great job at building your confidence for the exam.

I studies for around 100 hours on my own with GMAT materials and if I could go back, I would have bought TTP from the start. Content was so complete that I got a 675 by basically just using TTP problem sets.

TTP mainly teaches you with lessons that are to be read. I found this to be great because you can develop your reading skills as you go through the course. Also, I believe it is more engaging and a faster way to learn than videos. For me, although watching videos can be informative, retention is not that big because it is easy to get distracted or just be entertained by the video. By reading there is a need to put more effort into processing the information. I found that just sticking to the process was very useful.

If you have any questions, I liked that I could ask the TTP at any time and get an answer or reference to materials that would help me comprehend a subject.

BTW, I graduated from undergrad on 2023 but option is not available on GMATClub.
