Target Test Prep was immensely helpful in preparing for the GMAT and directly contributed to my 70-point score improvement. Having used another test prep program, I found Target Test Prep to be extremely engaging and helpful. The Quant review was structured very well and was done in a way that the concepts built on each other and did not bounce around. The sections were extremely detailed and everything was easily laid out and sections could be referred back to easily. The Verbal review was also very helpful, and I found the Sentence Correction sections especially helpful as this is where I struggled on the Verbal section. The video explanations for both Quant and Verbal were very thorough and provided detail explanations of the problems at hand and discussed how certain sections were related. The people at Target Test Prep were also very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone considering a test prep program at least try Target Test Prep.
If you start with less than Q40 on mock tests, you can improve to at least Q44- Q45 after finishing the entire course. If you start on the low Q40s you can improve to at least a Q47.
Honestly the content and the structure is the best there is on the market. The repetition and quizzes make you understand and dominate all the different types of questions gmat quant has.
I didnt try verbal but if it follows the same structure as the quant course I am sure is just as useful.
Also the level of service and attention tu customers that Jeff and Scott has is excellent, they were alwasy super helpful during my studies.
When I took my first cold exam, I didn't even remember how to get the slope of a line. But going through Target Test Prep enabled me to build a rock-solid foundation in the quant section that led me all the way to a Q48. The program is super well-organized, with excellent presentation and a logical method for helping you retain the material. The material itself is incredibly comprehensive, including TTP's new verbal section. The chapters on modifiers and comparisons helped me refine my strengths in the verbal section. I highly recommend using TTP for your prep, especially if you intend to use only one material, like me.

The TTP course is extremely well structured and detailed. The quants lessons which delve deep into each concept and the practice sessions at the end of every chapter help build a strong foundation. Along with my confidence, my quants score also improved substantially from the initial practice sessions. I must also mention that the recently added verbal lessons are also superbly designed. I believe that the lessons in critical reasoning were especially useful to me and helped me score better in the verbal section. I was also able to track my progress the help of the analytics and error tracker features. I was extremely disciplined with the study plan and even though I couldn’t fully complete the course in two months, I was able to increase my score significantly. In addition to the lessons in quants and verbal, I found that with the tips to handle exam day stress, I was able to manage my test day anxiety and I remained calm throughout the test.
My advice to prospective students is to follow the course plan and if possible, since the course is intense and, in my opinion, difficult to complete in two months, spend three or four months with the TTP dedicated study plan.
I strongly recommend TTP to prospective GMAT candidates.
Highly recommend it for anyone who is serious about his or her GMAT prep. The quant section is extremely detailed and simplified at the same time. The repetitive revision and chapter tests help you properly apply the learned concepts. For the verbal section too, the course is well put and comprehensive. Except for RC, this is a one stop for your entire Quant and Verbal preparation.
Additionally, the course also provides tips on how to handle time-pressure, anxiety etc during the prep. period and during the actual exam. The only con is that TTP doesn't provide any practice CATs.
Nevertheless, I attribute a major part of my success to TTP.
Prior to starting with TTP, I thought I would never get above Q45. I was never good at math, never liked it - it was a struggle.
My quant score fluctuated between Q40-Q43, and I was going through all the different GMAT prep providers and their free trials. I did not expect to find anything good enough worth spending money.
However, after free 5 day trial with TTP I immediately purchased another month. Reasons as follows:
- Every topic is explained so well, through a combination of theory explanation videos, huge amount of practice questions and very detailed debriefs for every question (which was incredibly helpful - as you understand immediately where you went wrong and don't make the same mistake again)
- The level of "difficulty" for every topic is slowly escalated, so you can work up your confidence at your own pace
- Every single topic has DOZENS of practice questions, so you can really master each topic
- TTP gives you your stats broken down by topic and sub-topic, showing you what you know well and what you don't know at all - helps you target your weakest points
With 1 month with TTP, I was able to get Q48 on the real exam - something I never thought I would be able to do!
TTP also has ever expanding library of verbal resources and I learned quite a few helpful CR techniques there!
Scott and his team have been great and supportive as well!
GMAT is a logic exam, hence having a strong foundation is an absolute must. The comprehensive TTP course does a fantastic job at making your basics strong and giving you the essential conceptual clarity. It helped me improve my Quant score from a Q42 to a Q48 in a month. The Error Analytics feature of the platform is an amazing feature to help you track your weak areas and improve upon the same. Also, the team is quick to reply to any of your queries and guides you well. Overall, I am glad I chose TTP and strongly recommend it.
I am very happy with Target Test Prep, it has allowed me to improve from 640 on the first mock exam to 740 on real one.
What I like the most is the quality of content. The lessons are really well structured and though out until last details. Also each concept comes with a series of exercises, which allow to immediately practice. The quality of materials is much better than other courses I tried - as example, sometimes those would refer to some sentence as being "ackward", while TTP really explains what is wrong with the sentence.
Each lesson comes with a set of practice tests, and I really value they are split per level of difficulty. Flexible structure allows to really focus on what is important. Also the number of practice questions is huge.
As a remark, amount of content is too big to cover completely during preparation, unless you have 4+ months (2hr/d), so it is important to devise preparation strategy which works well individually for you and skip some lessons or topics, otherwise you risk being stressed out that you cannot complete it all in time.
Verbal part is being created as we speak so is missing some material, but the quality of content which is already there is excellent.
On negative side, sending feedback to the team seems pointless: I encountered a few questions which are misleading or have wrong answers (admittedly not many, max. 10 out of 2000+) and pointed out a few of them to the team, but they did not do anything about it, although from reply it looked like they would.

WOW, just WOW
I'm in love with TTP, not only it is easy, but it is FUN! I think that it makes my study at least 2x more productive. Try it, it's just ONE dollar!
I'm someone who has known GMAT for 5 years, and always wanted to find a course that could teach me just what I needed, TTP delivered just that. You can do exercises and see how you are doing in each part of each subject. That helps us train (and not study for the GMAT).
By the way, I don't know if this slogan is from TTP or from other school! =)
I started studying for my GMAT during the summer and was mainly focusing on doing practice problems, after reading the Kaplan and OG. However I began to hit a wall and wasn't seeing a large improvement in my practice test scores. I decided to pivot my strategy and found Target Test Prep to help me learn how to better tackle the problems.
The quant section was extremely thorough and a great refresher for topics I had forgotten about. They taught me so many important and useful methods for tackling quantiative problems quickly and correctly.
The verbal section section was also great, especially for sentence correction. I'm a native English speaker, but there were tons of important grammar rules and methods they taught (which helped to boost my verbal score).
I ended up scoring a 750 (Q48, V44) on my GMAT and definetely would not have done as well without Target Test Prep.
