I started my GMAT Journey haphazardly sometimes back in August, preparing by myself using several freely available online resources. Unfortunately, that was not quite enough and I was able to score a measly 620. I was particularly weak in Verbal section.
However, I came across TTP through reddit and scored 750 last week:
Pros:
1. Great Course Structure - while I didnt follow their entire study plan, the course structure helped me maintain discipline
2. Verbal - Sentence Correction - Great/Must for non native speaker
3. Quant - Nothing else to do if you do it
4. Verbal - Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension - the types of correct and incorrect answers to expect were good

Cons:
1. Too extensive - Not suitable in case you have around 1 month to spare
2. Verbal Questions should be supplemented by OG questions, since they are not extensive like their quant ones

In summary, In case if you have >2 month to prepare, it is THE course to take for GMAT.

I tried a few different resources online before I started studying with TTP. Growing up, I never really saw myself as a math kind of guy, and after high school, I did my best to just steer clear of it completely. The TTP quant was instrumental in restoring my confidence and even excitement when it comes to solving math problems. The thing I like about their quant course, when compared with the other study materials I used, is that they break the concepts down into simple, yet very concrete steps. After enough time with TTP I noticed that when I looked at a problem, I had stopped telling myself “this is something you just need to know”, and started seeing how each one could be broken down to its fundamental pieces, pieces that I understood. I started my GMAT prep by having to review my times tables, and ended it with scoring Q49 on an actual GMAT exam. I owe a huge part of that to TTP, but more importantly, I want to thank them for bringing out my interest in math again. Of course I would recommend.

The course is incredible. The foundational knowledge that you gain on both sections is immense

This is absolutely the only resource you need to score extremely high on the GMAT. I scored a 740 on a 'bad' day I feel.

They have done a tremendous job with this course. I feel there I could have benefitted from more Verbal Chapter tests especially on Sentence Correction but this wasn't a super big deal once I started doing practice tests and a bit of OG prep

Scott, Marty and Jeff are extremely responsive and appear to be genuinely good people. I would strongly endorse this course, and I am not one who normally does things like this online

Target Test Prep was exactly what I needed to improve my GMAT score! In my first GMAT attempt, I got a score of 720 -- I did better in Verbal than I had hoped, but did not do well in Quant primarily due to bad time management.

After some research, I signed up for Target Test Prep and it helped me a lot in specific strategies for quant questions. Often times, there are efficient ways to solve quant problems that a lot of test-takers are not familiar with. TTP goes in depth about not only the strategies, but the concepts behind the strategies, which really came in handy test day.

TTP also has a large question bank, with designated questions as "Easy", "Medium", "Hard", and analytics that give you a good idea of which question types & difficulties you could improve on.
Overall, would definitely recommend!

I started my GMAT journey by taking the first Official mock and got a 560 (Q36, V31). After looking at the median GMAT score for my target schools, I quickly felt overwhelmed. Luckily, I came across GMATClub, which introduced me to Target Test Prep. Target Test Prep is thorough and covers EVERYTHING you need to know to succeed on the GMAT. I chose the most comprehensive Quant and Verbal plan and spent about 1 hour per day on TTP, so it took me roughly 7 months to complete the whole course. After completing the course, there is a "practice test phase" where you take a mock, input the score into TTP, take a diagnostic test, work through your weakest topics and repeat. This phase took me another 3 months to complete. I took my time with TTP since I wanted to feel 100% confident about a topic before moving on to the next, but most could reasonably complete the entire course in 3-4 months. Ultimately, I was able to bring my score up to 700 on my first and only GMAT attempt!

I used TTP almost entirely for quant and couldn't be more satisfied. I had major math content gaps when I started GMAT prep, but I learned SO much with TTP. Their quant course/lessons gave me the tools I needed to deeply understand the concepts, and then use that understanding to answer GMAT questions correctly.
What really set TTP apart, in my opinion, was the amount of high-quality, GMAT-style questions included throughout: there are questions in each lesson as you're learning and at in the end of each chapter via chapter tests. Then there are even more strategically woven across the curriculum (e.g. review quizzes on previous chapter content before starting new chapter, and cumulative tests strategically placed after every 3-5 chapters).

Target Test Prep was critical for my GMAT process. The self-guided portion meant I could start studying in November and do a light amount for 4-5 months until I could take time off of work. I went from a 32 quant 36 verbal to a 49 quant 49 verbal. Target Test prep set very clear guidelines and processes for how I should be studying, which helped provide structure to my study plan. Upon completion of the quant portion, I never saw a problem on the practice GMATs I had not seen before. My first practice test after was a 42 quant, so there was definitely a slight adjustment period, but on my second test and on I never got below a 49 (consistent 49s/50s). Highly recommend this course.

I was introduced to TTP through a friend who also highly recommended it, as I am doing now!

The material for quant is extremely detailed and thoroughly covers every aspect of a topic. The thing I most liked about quant was that they provided modified variations of tricky questions that are most likely to confuse test-takers. This was great practice from the get go.

For verbal, SC and CR are explained especially in an analytical manner. This enables you to really understand the essence of the topic rather than just identify a patter to answer questions. The best part about verbal was tips on trap answer choices and how to avoid them.

The chapter-wise practice tests were tremendously nifty and gave an accurate representation of topic knowledge. The ability to create custom practice tests also helps you drill on your weak areas.

Overall, a great and comrehensive course. Definitely would recommend!

I lost my confidence after not breaking the 710 score barrier in a couple of tries and decided to give TTP a try. The course can be long and intimidating, but I really appreciated the course breakdowns, study plan, and error trackers, which helped me to hone in my weaknesses and stay disciplined throughout my GMAT prep. TTP helped me to regain my confidence and the practices from TTP helped me to achieve my target score of 730.

Also, the staff at TTP was incredibly kind and supportive with my questions and concerns. I would recommend TTP for anyone who struggled with his/her GMAT prep!

TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. One of my greatest struggles was consistently scoring high on all sections in one sitting. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think. This allowed me to be consistent in all sections and ultimately hit my target score. It sometimes doesn’t sink in that the GMAT is a test of logic, but TTP focuses on that more than anything. The course gives you the basic knowledge needed for Quant and Verbal, but then takes it one step further and ties every section together to give you the thinking mindset you need. All questions except IR are now included in the course and even if you think you’ve mastered a particular section, I can guarantee you that TTP will show you, not only a better way, but a faster way as well. A great example of this is their newly released reading comprehension section. I always scored 85% or higher on RC but it wasn’t until I went through the section on reading comprehension that I realized that, while I was getting the right answers, I was getting to them in the absolutely most inefficient way possible. Once I went through the course’s content on reading comprehension, I noticed that I was able to improve on critical reasoning as well due to the sudden increase in time available to do these questions. Ultimately by the end of my test prep, TTP taught me probably the most valuable thing I needed to know about the GMAT: the test isn’t hard because the concepts are difficult, the test is hard because they apply the concepts in an unfamiliar way. TTP teaches you how to apply what you’ve learned to any situation even if you’ve never seen it before. I highly recommend this test prep company.
