Target Test Prep was the best quant prep company I used. It’s well designed for self-prep in it’s flexible programs, readings, and video explanations. If you diligently follow all the modules and take no shortcuts, TTP provides a stellar platform to absolutely master the concepts needed to succeed on the GMAT. There’s enough problems at different levels such that you can train to the point where you can’t get problems wrong. I somehow started to have fun in quant prep. Make sure to pair with OG problems and exams and over time you’ll find success.
Target Test Prep helped me immensely in my GMAT preparation. It was the only prep I used and it help me achieve my target score. TTP broke down every topic very clearly, starting from the fundamentals so that I could build upon my knowledge. They've also begun building out a verbal section prep as well, and I found that to be as well broken-down as the quant section. I used the flexible prep program (a monthly payment), and they also allowed me to buy a two-week plan, which was a big bonus in my eyes. I highly recommend TTP, especially if you know your quant needs work!
TTP gets a lot of love for its quant course, and deservedly so. I started with a fairly high quant baseline, but TTP made it easy to identify my weakest areas and build a plan to improve them. The actual material is very solid and presented in an easily digestible way, but the tools like the error tracker, analytics by question type and concept, and the clear study plans are also incredible.
Where TTP really made a difference for me was in the verbal section. I struggled with sentence correction and was frustrated since it was holding me back from an elite score. TTP's SC material covered the core concepts just as clearly as their quant course, but the real key was the question strategy and mindset that it teaches.
TTP is a great product and along with the official guide, you don't need to look anywhere else for a solid GMAT study plan.
Target Test Prep is the most thorough guide to tackling GMAT quant that I found. The fact that it's a guided program helped me stick to it all the way through. Following completion, I was confidently scoring Q49-51 on all of my mock exams (diagnostic started in mid Q40s). I originally completed the course in 4-6 months and was ready to take my exam, only to have my appointment canceled (Covid-19 pandemic). Scott reached out and gave me advice on how to keep reviewing to stay fresh until the next time I could take the exam (The "Custom Test" feature is great for building practice sets of any section or difficulty).
I would recommend TTP to anyone serious about hitting an elite Quant score or making significant improvements in Quant.
I used TTP's quant program for 2 months. Really not much more to say about it that I consider it the gold standard for Quant prep on the market. I come from a quantitative background, so wasn't as worried about strategies/mental math, but really needed to practice a ton of problems in a timed setting to simulate a testing experience. I found that the topic related review material was extremely thorough for most topics and the end-of-chapter quizzes really ensured I knew the material at a level needed to score well on the exam. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a single, thorough quant resource.
I wish I used this course earlier. It really gives you the required confidence to undertake the GMAT.
The course is quite lengthy. But with all this practice you become more and more confident. Surprisingly, the verbal section, despite being in the beta phase, is quite good and I didn't need to rely on any external learning aids.
I advise strictly following the course without cutting any corners. Only by doing so, each student can identify his/her weaknesses and address them before the test day.
This course is not a walk in the park however and it took me 3-4 months to complete while dedicating at least 3 hours per day.
The course does what it is designed for: Reach your best potential when it comes to the GMAT.
I started revising for the GMAT using all the free programs I could get my hands on, manhattan, magoosh, kaplan, veritas, and GMAT club itself, naively thinking I could master this with zero investment. Regardless of the vast amount of free material and questions, I was really struggling to piece it all together and really get my arms around the full "curriculum". After about one month I took the GMAT at a test centre and got 610 (Q39, V35, IR7), which I wasn't happy with.
Three days before doing the test, I had discovered TTP and thought it looked great, so I signed up for the flexible plan. It turned out to be exactly what I needed, but somehow I discovered it too late! So after the first exam I decided to continue studying and followed the quant and verbal material in TTP. I completed all the quant and roughly half the verbal material in about one month, and moved on to doing practice questions and embedding the knowledge. 1.5 months later I did the GMAT online, and achieved 700 (Q46, V40, IR3). I could not have improved so much in so short a time without the structure provided by TTP. (I screwed up the IR section on the 2nd test by getting stuck in an MSR question, and also set up my desk poorly such that by the time I was in the IR section the sun was shining directly in my face...something for online test takers to bear in mind!!).
All in all, it's a powerful resource that was well worth it for the couple of months that I needed it.
The only downside I can think of is that they don't cover reading comprehension or IR yet, but I know RC is on its way to TTP soon at least.
Highly recommend.
An outstanding product. The curriculum was intuitive, the instruction was clear and concise, and the quizzes nailed the concepts for me. With the amount of questions the program provides, it was easy to conduct consistent drilling of concepts through the custom quizzes feature. I went from a Q44 to Q49 on the my actual GMAT (Q51 on practice tests). If I ever went back to get a better score, Target Test Prep would be where I'd start. When I hear about someone taking the GMAT in the upcoming months, I always mention Target Test Prep as the first option when it comes to prep. Their customer service is spot on and extremely helpful. Scott is also excellent at communicating and responding to questions (especially on reddit). Five stars.
Target test prep is truly special. I started the course with a decent quant background but was able to elevate my quant significantly with the platform. TTP does a great job of preparing you for the rigorous questions you will see on test day and giving you a strong foundational knowledge to build upon. I spent about 5 months on the platform reviewing the quant and beta for the verbal. The chapters provided the knowledge necessary to excel and helped me to score a 49Q. The verbal beta is also following a very similar path to that of the quant and I believe it holds much promise! Verbal, a struggle point for me, significantly increased and I was able to understand questions better as they almost became more formula-based. I found that I was often able to predict the correct answer before reading the choices based on TTP's preparation. I strongly recommend TTP to anyone beginning their GMAT journey. You will not be disappointed!
I cannot recommend TTP enough. My biggest problem when I first started studying for the GMAT was that I had no structure. I would do a couple of problems, read the explanations when I got them wrong, and watch Youtube video when I didn't understand the concepts. I studied like this for 2 months and I felt like I was getting nowhere. I took a practice exam and scored a 560 (Q32,V34). It was at this moment that I decided I needed a more structured approach. I looked online for a program and I opted for TTP for its reviews and also its 1-week trial period. Immediately I felt like I actually had a plan of study and I started doing real, quantifiable improvement. The Quant chapters are fantastic and they really break down the concepts you need to master to nail the harder quant questions. The Verbal chapters are just as useful, and, although they are still in the Beta version, they really helped me develop a plan of attack to deal with Critical Reasoning and Sentence correction questions. I went from a 570 (Q34 V34) on my first official attempt to a 700 (Q45 V40) in about 4 months of intense studying. One thing I wish I had done differently was to sign up for the 4-month program from the beginning instead of doing month-to-month billing. I would have saved some dollars that way.
All in all, TTP is a fantastic program and the customer support is top-notch. I never had any issues with their website and they were always quick to solve any problems. I would recommend TTP to any dedicated student who wants a superior score on the GMAT. It can be a little time consuming and some of the chapters are longer than others but stick with it and have some patience, it is worth it in the end.
