After trying multiple promising courses in the market, I found my holy grail in TTP.
TTP IS ABOVE EXPECTATIONS on both quants and verbal.
Marty and Jeff were kind enough to clear all doubts at the earliest, and the whole experience was totally interactive.
Though TTP's quant course is extremely popular, I found their verbal to be even better as compared to others. The verbal course is all-inclusive and one doesn't need to refer to anything outside it. Besides, I found the course to be extremely valuable for money as compared to pricey alternatives in the GMAT prep space. Money well spent !
Thanks, team TTP
I started to use Target Test Prep in the middle of my GMAT journey. Before, I used other prep companies' courses and studied on my own, reaching a 600 (Q43 V31) on my first Gmat exam. After that, I continued my preparation but I was stuck on a Q43-44 plateau, having some gaps in my Quant knowledge that separated me from my dream score (a 700+).
So, I decided to buy TTP course and start again with the basics. I selected my target Quant score from the 4 different choice they offer and completed the whole study plan they gave me (more or less 2 months).
Thanks to the in-depth concept explanations, the solid course structure, and the incredible amount of top-quality exercises that TTP offered, I was able to raise my Quant score to a 48 and score a 710 (Q48 V40).
In my experience, if you need help on Quant, TTP is the best you can get!
P.S. I was able to see the Verbal course they are building and it's full of really valuable material as well. The verbal theory section is already available (It could be integrated in your study plan), and maybe has an even better mix of theory and practice inside each chapter than the quant section has. Very impressive!

Although I studied hard for 2 months prior to my first attempt, I didn't receive the score I wanted. I decided on TTP after seeing all of the reviews on Gmatclub and reddit. TTP showed me quickly through their trial period that I had a lot of gaps in my knowledge, and their program was straightforward in building a foundation in Quant. If I had more time, I would have also wanted to try out Verbal, but the Quant section alone took me around 200 hrs. I was not confident in my math skills, but TTP increased my score from a 39 to a 47.
TTP was my one stop shop for all things GMAT. My first score on a practice test was a 460 and with 6 months of TTP I was able to improve to a 730! Highly recommend! TTP's structure lessons and quizzes provide an easy way for you to structure your studying and cover all your bases all things quant. Additionally they track your progress and weak topics so that you can easily identify and improve those areas. Their verbal section was released about 3 months into my studying and i was able to study both quant and verbal in one place. The verbal section helped me significantly improve in CR and SC which were areas i had struggled with the most on my initial practice test

I was about ready to give up on the GMAT until I discovered Target Test Prep. I took the GMAT the first time early 2020 with about 2 months of studying using Manhattan Prep books and the the GMAT Official Guide, but I was very disappointed with my score. I decided to study for it again with similar practice books, but was still not achieving the score I wanted on practice tests. Fortunately, I discovered TTP, used the online modules for about a month of dedicated studying, and improved my score by 90 points. It is hands down the BEST course you can use for GMAT studying. It is extremely flexible and allows you to really focus on your weakest areas. You will not regret this investment.
I never thought I would be able to post one of these.
I tested in the test center today and miraculously pulled off a 740 with splits of 49/42/8. When the score popped up, I legit started crying and I am not ashamed of that.
I am from the U.S., so I'm pretty familiar with standardized testing. I scored 95% on the SAT. I am also prior military and am used to promotion testing and the ASVAB; I tested 96% on that and 99% on the officer exam. Suffice it to say, I have never had a problem with testing until the GMAT. I took a diagnostic about a year ago and scored a 600, then took the real test last December and used that score, a 670, to apply to Fall 2020 programs. With everything that happened, I elected to defer and try my hand again with taking the GMAT.
I went through most of TTP quant and was scoring again around 670-700. I took the online test August 22 and scored 700, indicative of my practice results. I don't know if something just clicked after this point or what, but I transitioned from only investing my time in math to TTP's verbal as well, and I felt better about the test as a whole. I jumped from 46/47 Q to 49, where I have been at since. I felt my sentence correction techniques getting better as well from the extended devotion to verbal, and took OG mock 4 on September 12 and scored a 740. This convinced me to move up my test date to today, September 14, in hopes of riding the peak of my efforts.
That happened. While I didn't think the test was smooth, it ended up working out. I struggled through the math; I'm not sure if I technically finished. I I had an answer selected but time ran out before I hit submit on question 31. After verbal, I was pretty convinced I did poorly and was just slugging through the rest of the test so I could go home.
All this is to say, if I can do it, so can you. I never really felt that that phrase meant a lot, but I am by no means a genius. I spent a grueling amount of hours working through TTP and honestly never finished - I never started geometry. But, if you want it, if you want a certain score, you can make it happen. I think the GMAT is more of a testament to a person's will than their academic ceiling. Thanks to everyone over at TTP!
Prior to starting TTP, I had 3 attempts under my belt (680->650->600). I had been using other prep programs and just studying on my own, so I decided to give TTP a shot
Fast forward about 3 months and I had my target score. (730)
While this course does take a good amount of time, TTP gave me the best shot to achieve a solid Quant and Verbal score. I finished in about 2 months, and used the 3rd month to test prep.
The TTP team was very attentive to inquiries. As has been noted here, the Quant program is second to none, in my opinion certainly a must for any prospective GMAT test taker. Additionally, even though the Verbal is still in beta, it is an incredible program and very helpful especially in regards to SC and CR.
All you can ask for in a test prep course is a) ALL the content you're going to see on the test, explained clearly and concisely, and b) enough practice problems to drill the concepts to REALLY understand them. TTP has both features in spades. I went from a 620 to a 760 and have TTP to thank; the practice questions were right in line with what I faced on the real GMAT and every concept on the test was covered thoroughly by TTP. Each of the lessons had enough practice problems and test questions to give you a taste of how to apply the concepts from every angle.
I took the GMAT for the first time after doing a live online course and scored 680. As an engineer I thought I could do a lot better on Quant, so I did some focused studying for a month and got the exact same score (Q42).
At the suggestion of a co-worker, I decided to try out Target Test Prep and diligently worked through each of the chapters. It absolutely helped me rebase my Quant skills. As an engineer I was skipping a lot of the basics and falling for trap answers or rushing through problems I thought were simple. After TTP, I had a rock solid Quant foundation. I sat for the GMAT a 3rd and final time and scored a 740! Increasing my score from Q42 to Q49!
After underachieving on the quantitative section of the GMAT a few times, I turned to TTP for a fresh look at how to approach studying the material. What I learned after purchasing the product and using it for only a day or two, was that there is a better way to think about studying for the GMAT quant section. The lessons are explicit, insightful, and incredibly thorough. The number of quizzes and tests along the way as you progress through the content is substantial, yet if you are serious about succeeding, exceedingly worth the time and effort. I loved the explanations provided for wrong answers and, as a competitive person, I liked how you could compare your progression to all others who are using the course. It provided constant motivation throughout my studying journey. No detail is overlooked in the TTP module. My recommendation to anyone who utilizes the product: follow all of the instruction. They know what they're talking about. There may be times along the way where you're tempted to skip quizzes or lessons because you're feeling worn down. Don't do it. You don't want to put in all that work and then sell yourself short. The analytics provide excellent summarized feedback to help target your efforts along the way.
