I used Target Test Prep to prepare for the GMAT, and it was hands down the most effective prep resource I tried. What really sets TTP apart is how structured and thorough it is. Every topic is broken down step by step, so you’re never guessing what you’re supposed to know or why something works.

The explanations are clear and practical, especially for quant. Instead of just showing shortcuts, TTP focuses on building real understanding, which made a huge difference when I started seeing harder or unfamiliar questions. The practice questions are high quality and very well calibrated, so you actually feel yourself improving rather than just grinding random problems.

I also appreciated how the study plan keeps you accountable. It’s very clear what to do each day, and that structure made it much easier to stay consistent. When I followed the plan, my accuracy and confidence improved noticeably.

Overall, Target Test Prep feels like a complete system rather than just a question bank. If you’re serious about improving your score and want a clear, no-nonsense approach, TTP is absolutely worth it.

Strengths:

TTP's learning modules did a great job of teaching or refreshing math topics that are covered in Quant, especially for someone who hasn't taken a math class in over 4+ years. The Data Sufficiency questions were a new type of question format that takes some time to understand/get used to, but TTP does a great job of breaking that down.

Would make the product better:

Structuring the module topics in similar ways to the GMAT (e.g. for Quant, linking what TTP modules are associated with the GMAT Fundamental Skill sections Equal/Unequal/ALC so that it's easier to go back to that section to reread notes and practice problems). The Data Insights modules could also have more practice questions.

TTP's learning modules did a great job of teaching or refreshing math topics that are covered in Quant, especially for someone who hasn't taken a math class in over 4+ years. The Data Sufficiency questions were a new type of question format that takes some time to understand/get used to, but TTP does a great job of breaking that down. As someone who does better with Literature-style questions, the Verbal prep helped me learn new testing strategies, too.

The large question banks also lets you get practice in, and the live Q&A chats with real experts helps clarify any questions/solutions you don't understand. The TTP team also is great at responding to customer requests in general and checks in with your progress/needs.

Strengths:

Target Test Prep's lessons and tests on Quant and DI material are very comprehensive and greatly aid in targeted practice and review.

Would make the product better:

I am satisfied with the current course structure. However maybe the course can adjust based on errors and weak areas found from the diagnostic test or chapter tests.

I was somewhat disappointed with my first attempt at the GMAT where I scored a 625, with my Quant section score being the lowest at 79 (50th percentile). I decided to reattempt as soon as possible and purchased Target Test Prep's Flexible Study plan to drill down on my Quant skills.

Their material on each Quant topic, and all their mental strategies for better preparing myself for the test day really did the trick. I was able to improve my Quant and DI scores dramatically and went from 625 to 735 on the second attempt.

I would highly recommend Target Test Prep's content, especially for those who are aiming to improve on their quant and DI scores like me.

Strengths:

TargetTestPrep prepares super well to get a 90+ percentile in quant and data insights with methods and ways to maximize your efficiency and accuracy in doing the exercises

Would make the product better:

I would recommend to improve the way of practicing the verbal part. As someone who is more stimulated by working with exercises and maths, I would have wanted to have a way to improve verbal by doing more exercises "similar" to the quant and data insights part

TargetTestPrep was the perfect service to use to prepare the GMAT in a few months. It gives all the content you need to ace the exam and so many practice exercises to train yourself. For the quand and data insights parts, it gives you all the methods that will make you improve your efficiency and accuracy for the exam. Finally, it also gives a lot of tips on how to prepare the last week, how to fight stress... I did my first GMAT after a first 2-months and a half study that was not very intensive except for the last 2 weeks. And then I improved my score from 595 to 645 by grinding an entire month after one month of pause. I wish I had done it a third time because with the prep, I could have really improved my verbal part.

Target Test Prep’s Maximum Learning course was by far the best GMAT preparation resource I used. When I started, my score was far below my target, but this course helped me improve by 170 points, which completely changed my confidence and results. The structured study plan kept me disciplined, and the explanations, especially for Verbal, were incredibly clear and detailed. Every concept was broken down step by step, making even difficult topics manageable. The practice questions closely matched the real GMAT, and the analytics helped me identify weaknesses quickly. Verbal strategies were also practical and easy to apply on test day. Overall, this course is thorough, well-organized, and worth every minute. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about maximizing their GMAT score.

Strengths:

The strength of TTP lies in its structured approach across all three sections—Quant, Verbal, and DI. If you commit the necessary time to the course, it will undoubtedly benefit you. I personally achieved a 50-point score increase in just three months while working full-time. TTP also offers an accelerated study mode for those who wish to complete the course faster; however, I strongly recommend completing the entire program for maximum impact.

Would make the product better:

One possible improvement could be the inclusion of a couple more practice tests within the course. While I understand and appreciate TTP’s emphasis on OG tests as the final source of truth, having a few additional module-level tests could further reinforce learning and boost confidence.

Target Test Prep is a highly structured course for anyone serious about improving their score. It builds strong foundational concepts and steadily reinforces them using OG-level questions and clear explanations, making it especially suitable for working professionals.

Quant: Extremely intensive and thorough, with a strong focus on core concepts and a wide range of practice exercises that build accuracy and confidence step by step.

Verbal: No gimmicks or shortcuts—just sound strategy, logical frameworks, and excellent OG-level examples that truly prepare you for the exam.

DI: Relatively new, but comprehensive in coverage and largely at par with OG-level difficulty and standards.

Strengths:

One of the strongest aspects of this product is how in-depth and well-structured the Quant and Data Insights sections are. Both sections break down concepts thoroughly and are supported by a large number of worked examples that walk through each step of the problem-solving process. This level of detail leaves very little room for confusion, especially when paired with the comprehensive review problems that reinforce the material.

Would make the product better:

One area that could be improved is the Verbal section. Compared to Quant and Data Insights, there is noticeably less practice material available, which makes it harder to fully reinforce concepts through repetition. Adding more targeted practice questions and review sets for Verbal would help bring this section to the same strong standard as the others.

Overall, this product is extremely easy to use and makes it simple to track progress over time. The platform clearly shows strengths and weaknesses, which helps guide study efforts efficiently. The Quant and Data Insights sections stand out for their depth, clarity, and abundance of examples, supported by both detailed text explanations and in-depth video walkthroughs. While the Verbal section could benefit from additional practice material, the existing content is still well-organized and easy to follow. Taken as a whole, this was the most effective test preparation resource I’ve used. The structured approach, clear explanations, and strong review system played a major role in my improvement and helped me achieve a 725 score. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive and results-driven test prep program.

Strengths:

The real strength of TTP is that it allows its users to really master the fundamentals. The course follows a very structured path that has obviously been researched extensively. It flows seamlessly, allowing the user to master one principle before moving onto the next, forging an understanding of the material that I haven't seen in other prep products.

Would make the product better:

I think more alternative ways of solving problems would be helpful in accommodating learning style of different test takers. One of the reasons I loved GMAT Club so much was that it offered an open forum for users to explain how they arrived at answer choices, rather than a "one size fits all" approach. Scott and the team do a very good job explaining how they think about and solve the problems in DI and Q sections, but there are myriad ways to solve these problems, some offering huge time saving capabilities

Overall, I wouldn't have scored what I did without TTP. The course gave me a deep understanding of the foundation principles GMAT tests users on, and it allowed me to delve deeper into how to maximize my score in certain areas. It has a near flawless UX that doesn't distract the user from the content at hand, unlocking more capacity to understand exactly what you need to learn. I would recommend the Self Study program to anyone who is starting their process with the GMAT Focus preparation, specifically if they start early enough (it is a lot of content). The practice questions and explanations allow for timed practice in addition to untimed practice of concepts. It was a fantastic tool!

Strengths:

Exceptional study plan structure: Concepts are broken down into clear thematic sections and the study plan is very comprehensive. Having a well-defined plan removed the guesswork and made me sure I haven't missed anything.

Great explanations: Each topic is supported by examples that also explain the whole reasoning process.

Good balance between theory and practice: The platform strikes a good balance between concept courses and question-grinding, which was exactly what I needed.

Would make the product better:

The course is quite extensive, especially in Quant, and some sections can feel long. For candidates on a very tight timeline, this may be challenging.

That said, the depth is also what makes TTP effective. I personally preferred having more detail.

I initially prepared using the Official GMAT Guides for about three months, doing a large volume of questions. My first mock score was 605, and my first official GMAT score was 615. At that point, I knew that Quant was my main weakness because I lacked structure and some specific strategies that I couldn't learn by just doing questions.

After switching to Target Test Prep, my preparation completely changed. The platform helped me identify a clear study plan and methodically fix weaknesses instead of practicing blindly. After around one month using TTP, I retook the GMAT Focus and scored 745.

What TTP does exceptionnally well is that it provides the clear structure needed to solve many questions in a systematic fashion, where many strategies especially in the Quant section will save you a lot of time on exam day. If Quant is holding you back and you’re looking for a serious, results-driven preparation tool, TTP is absolutely worth it.

Strengths:

The verbal was surpisingly very good, they helped me nail it. They do a good job of breaking down the fundamentals and helping you build a path to the score you want. They also had great back end support.

Would make the product better:

Sometimes I found myself spending too much time on material that was realistically never going to be on the exam, and it was hard to discern that while going through the course sometimes.

I would recommend this course to anyone taking the GMAT Focus. I got more score goal and then some and am very pleased with their support, knowledge building process, and psychological support as I tried to crack the exam. They truly have all their bases covered in the prep and the results showed it. I had several issues as well at the test center (@Pearson Learning) and TTP also helped me understand and plan for some of the logistical hangups that happened, so ultimately I could focus on the test. Finally, verbal became the backbone of my score unexpectedly, and I think the course does an excellent job at breaking down the concepts and getting you to a point where you can trust your prep and just let it rip. Thank you TTP!
