Strengths:
Very good platform that mirrors actual gmat exam platform, organizes all your study material and schedule so you don't have to spend time on that, and can instead focus on study.
Excellent features like maintains a topic wise error log, customizable quizzes for targeted improvement across areas.
Would make the product better:
Could introduce their own mocks (with score) instead of just being able to give full length papers
Coming from a humanities background, my Quant and Data Interpretation (DI) were major weak areas when I started my preparation. TTP helped me build and strengthen that foundation through its structured lessons and analytics-driven approach. In my first mock test, taken about two months before the actual exam, I scored only 545. Recognizing that both Quant and DI needed significant improvement, I focused on targeted practice through customized tests and revisited every question I got wrong using detailed error logs. By continuously analysing my performance and addressing weak areas systematically, I was able to make steady progress and ultimately achieve a score of 695 in just four months of preparation
Strengths:
The to the point teaching on the math sections. It also does well by teaching you strategies for the test.
Would make the product better:
I'd prefer a cap on the monthly flexible option once we reach a certain number of months paying for the services, to consider it as if we bought it in full.
I had tried 2 other test prep companies prior to target Test prep. None of them where able to give me score improvements. It was disheartening to put in over 100 hours with no improvement despite learning the basic material. After using TTP I was able to get an acceptable score for the program I want all while being a parent and working full time through their flexible study option. I put in an additional 160 total hours but with strategic preparation per their recommendation. I wouldn't recommend any other test prep companies for the GMAT other than TTP. 100 point improvement is what I was able to do with just 1.5 hours a day for 4 months.
Strengths:
TTP's strengths are the customizable structure and reasonable pace. The most valuable part of learning in my opinion is the question answer review videos and text explanations. Sometimes you even get shown two ways of solving and it's so helpful to have that right there for review.
Would make the product better:
More customizable parts - like if I want to skip a section, I never figured out how to do that but mark it as "complete" so it doesn't show up on the calendar. Maybe there is a way but I could not find it. Also, the "progress" % would glitch and erase some of my progress on some random sections if I were to update the schedule. Fix glitches when updating calendar / hours.
TTP Dedicated Study helped me improve my initial practice test scores from mid-500s to an official 655 (V86, Q82, DI80) After struggling to study on my own (Youtube channels and other pathways), I decided I needed more structure to my study plan.
TTP keeps you on track, honest, and shows your progress. You don't have to decide what you're studying that day - it does that for you - so you spend no energy on gathering materials or planning. You can always look at the calendar to see what's upcoming, and if you want to study ahead or get behind, it automatically adjusts. The calendar and plan (hours per day, days avail to study) is customizable as well! (If you only want to study on the weekend, you can customize it like that). For anyone who does better with structure, TTP is worth it.
Four months was plenty of time to get through the material (spending 10-15 hrs per week) and all sections were helpful. Don't forget to book your exam in accordance with the end of your study plan.
I found the most value in two areas. First, the answer explanation videos and text after each question. It was like having your own personal tutor at your finger tips on every question. TTP put a lot of work into diversifying the material and questions to be as foundational as possible.
Second, the Theory section gave therapy-like insights on how to handle the pressure, time, stress, etc that comes along with this process. It wasn't just strong material for the exam - it was teaching you a mindful approach and how to best prepare for day-of. Again, like having your own personal GMAT coach. I found that made TTP stand out above other offerings.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
Strengths:
- Structured approach: It provides a pathway to follow, which in itself is very valuable, especially for working professionals who struggle to take out time to create a custom approach/timetable. Subscribing to TTP helped me devise a plan to follow.
- Coverage across question types is quite robust: This is especially true for verbal
Would make the product better:
Level and difficulty of questions in DI can potentially be improved to practice more 'hard' level questions.
As a working professional with an engineering background, my foundation in Quant for the GMAT FE was naturally strong. However, my performance in Verbal and Data Insights (DI) required considerable effort and highly structured guidance. After my initial mock exam resulted in a score of 645, I realized that generic studying wouldn't suffice, leading me to commit to the 6-month TTP course. I knew I required deep conceptual lessons and, most importantly, an abundance of targeted practice.
TTP delivered precisely what was needed. Its highly structured, chapter-by-chapter approach proved to be the ideal fit for a disciplined learner. The platform's comprehensive lessons systematically broke down every concept, transforming my comprehension of both verbal and DI. Crucially, the sheer volume of high-quality practice questions in verbal cemented the material, built my confidence. The commitment to this rigorous study plan paid off; on the official test day, I secured a 745, marking a 100-point increase.
After scoring a 625 on my second GMAT attempt, I knew I needed a more structured and complete program. After a few days of looking at different forums, I found Target Test Prep (TTP) wich had many reviews from people all over the world with verified improvement in their scores after using the platform. I decided to start with the 5-day trial, and after seeing how well the program was designed, I purchased the 6-month plan.
Strengths:
- The study plan is very well structured, combining Quant and Verbal throughout the course and ending with Data Insights. Studying Verbal alongside Quant helped me improve my reasoning skills and better understand Data Sufficiency problems.
- The AI feature that generates similar problems at different difficulty levels is excellent for going deeper into specific topics.
- The 24/7 support was always available whenever I had questions about the platform or particular exercises.
- The curriculum includes helpful exam-day strategies and tips for the days leading up to the test.
- The variety and quality of the practice questions helped me get comfortable with different levels of difficulty.
- The study plan also includes periodic Reviews, which reinforce space repetition and help with long-term retention.
- The platform analytics and custom quizzes allowed me to focus on my weaker areas and track my progress effectively.
After six months of consistent study, my score improved from 625 to 685, with gains across all sections. If you stay disciplined and follow the plan, TTP may definitely help you improve your score.
Strengths:
The course gave me the structure and clarity I needed to finally understand GMAT Quant and improve my overall score.
The lessons are super detailed, the analytics helped me track my weak areas, and the support team was always quick to help. Possible to create a lot of custom tests as you like.
Would make the product better:
TTP could offer shorter courses with one month of preparation.
What really helped me with TTP was the structured and comprehensive theory organized by topic, as well as the ability to create custom tests that targeted exactly what I needed. Because of the tight timeline, I didn’t have enough time to complete the entire TTP course that was designed for me. Instead, I quickly went through the theoretical material and then started taking custom tests every day in different combinations, which I think helped me the most. I would really recommend TTP both for one to two months and the long-term preparation process, as it helps to structure the process and keep track of your progress.
Strengths:
The structure, explanations and analytics as well as the whole Quant Part.
Would make the product better:
Follow the structure and keep going everyday.
Target Test Prep was by far the best resource I used during my GMAT Focus prep journey. Before starting TTP, I was really struggling with Quant — I understood the basics, but I couldn’t apply the concepts efficiently under time pressure. What I liked most about TTP is how structured and comprehensive the Quant course is. Each chapter builds perfectly on the previous one, and the explanations go deep enough to make you truly understand the logic behind every problem.
The platform also gives you great analytics, so you can see exactly where your weaknesses are and how you’re improving over time. I followed the study plan pretty closely and noticed consistent progress each week. The verbal and data insights sections were also strong, but Quant was definitely the game changer for me.
In the end, I improved my GMAT Focus score from 565 to 675 — a 110-point increase! I never thought I’d actually enjoy studying Quant, but TTP made it clear, structured, and even kind of fun.
Big thanks to the TTP team for creating such a high-quality course. If you’re serious about boosting your score, especially in Quant, I can’t recommend Target Test Prep enough.
Strengths:
What I liked most was how intuitive and customizable the platform is. It adapts to your goals and schedule by asking how much time you have before your exam, how many hours per day you can study, and what your target score is. The study flow is clear and progressive—each lesson connects naturally to the previous and the next, so you feel like you’re building knowledge rather than jumping between disconnected topics.
Would make the product better:
If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to include more alternative solution methods, since people often approach Quant problems differently (algebraic vs. arithmetic vs. intuitive).
I used Target Test Prep during the final stage of my GMAT preparation, around three months before my exam, after trying other resources. My main goal was to strengthen my Quant, since I had already taken the test and was scoring around the 80th percentile.

I also appreciated the three levels of practice difficulty and the built-in timer, which helped me improve speed and decision-making—crucial for GMAT time management.

Overall, TTP was instrumental in helping me feel structured, fast, and confident for test day.
Strengths:
I think the product is very well-designed and thoughtfully structured. It’s highly flexible — depending on your pace of learning, you can either start with lessons or dive straight into the questions. I really appreciated that flexibility. I also liked the diversity of questions in the sample set; it does an excellent job of reflecting the range and difficulty you’re likely to encounter on the actual exam.
Would make the product better:
The only area I’d recommend improving is the difficulty balance — some of the easy questions feel a bit too simple at times. While they do a good job of setting the foundation, I think the product could lean a bit more toward medium and hard questions to make the overall experience more challenging and realistic.
Overall, I think if you’re preparing for the GMAT on your own, there couldn’t be a better resource. It strikes the ideal balance between depth and breadth, without adding unnecessary complexity or concepts that won’t appear on the actual test. The platform challenges you just the right amount while offering the flexibility to revisit questions, design your own practice modules, and simulate realistic test scenarios. I especially appreciated how thoughtfully it’s structured to support different learning styles, making it easy to focus on weaknesses or build comprehensive skills. That combination of balance, flexibility, and relevance makes it truly exceptional.
GMAT is designed in a way to punish shortcuts and gimmicks. TTP course and materials are long and tiresome. This course really demands a lot of time, attention and effort from you. This doesn't provide any shortcut. Chapters are long with lengthy exercise. But this is what you are need if you are looking for a big jump in score or want to score in high percentiles. It's very methodical. Builds layers and layers of foundation on top of one after another. And Scott is really excellent to help with your exam/ prep anxiety. TTP helped me score a 100th percentile in Quant and 97th percentile in DI.
