Strengths:
The structure and the UI of TTP stands out in my opinion. The way they build you from the ground up is ideal. They really have nailed down on making the most comprehensive prep product for GMAT.
Would make the product better:
There's nothing I can think of.
I would definitely suggest serious test takers to use TTP instead of wasting time with other providers. It's definitely worth whatever you pay for it and you are almost certainly going to end up with a good score.
Make sure you make full use of the course and complete all lessons and tests and keep referring to error logs. Once you are comfortable with the difficult questions on TTP, you'll be fine on the real exam for sure.
TTP also plans out a schedule for you which is quite realistic so I also suggest following that as much as possible.
Strengths:
Gamechanger for those who want to improve their Quant score.
I attempted an mba.com official mock back in Feb-25. Scored a 585. My target score was 695 and in order to reach that I knew I had to find the right study plan. Managing it only through solving questions from the OG or GMATCLUB was only going to help to a certain extent. So after reading their reviews online I thought I'll check out TTP's 5 day free trial. I really loved how the plan was designed and the flexibility it provided to work at your own pace. I decided to stick to it. It had ample number of examples and broke down each topic in nice little chapters for better understanding. I loved their AI assist feature which answered my questions in real time and even provided with more similar examples when prompted so. When I started the course, I struggled the most with time management on Questions. By solving around 1000 examples and 1500+ Chapter Test questions in Quant alone, I ended up averaging 95%+ accuracy with less than 1:45 min per question. Verbal chapters give thorough explaination in each chapter with talking about most common answers, most common wrong answers and traps in CR and RC. It helps in understanding why an answer choice is wrong and can be eliminated, which I think is the most useful skill in Verbal section.
One more thing, My plan was expiring around a week before my GMAT. I emailed them and the folks at TTP were kind enough to extend my plan till then upon my request.
P.S. - Make sure you use the error tracker and flashcard feature.

Strengths:
Quant is very strong on this product. The use of examples after a concept helps to solidify knowledge. It's very organized on a potential study schedule and the concepts associated with it.
Would make the product better:
Keep track of how many times you miss the same question in reviews and highlight those topics.
I've been studying for the GMAT on and off for 5 years to try to score what Stanford expects in its applicants which was a 700 on the old GMAT and a 645 on the GMAT focus. I originally used the GMAT club, official GMAT prep, Target Test Prep, and Magoosh to study. My weakness was primarily quant, so over the years, I stuck with Target Test Prep, which had the best quant according to reviews. I was scoring in the 40th percentile on the GMAT because I could not remember combinations, permutations, probabilities, and more to save my life. I'm 14 years out of college, and it was tough to re-learn these concepts. For the past three months, I worked with Jeff from Target Test Prep for quant private tutoring, and he recommended that I look into taking the Executive Assessment since the quant is slightly easier. With his tips and tricks to shorten the time I spent solving a problem and his method of educated guesses, I was able to improve my quant to the 80th percentile and scored a 645 on the GMAT Focus. I ended up scoring a 166 on the Executive Assessment. I don't think I would have been as confident or done as well to get over my scoring wall without tutoring.

Strengths:
I really liked how the course broke the quant section into almost two dozen different chapters so I could focus on each type of question individually as I was learning. I also liked how many practice questions there were, and the option to create new ones with AI. This made me feel like I was never 'wasting' a practice question, and I could comfortably practice as much as I needed to master concepts.
Would make the product better:
I think the course materials are fabulous. Maybe a reorganization of the page which suggests the order in which you study sections would be useful for tighter timelines, I deviated from the suggested path somewhat to fit my needs. This is a very small suggestion, I loved the course overall.
This course was a tremendous resource to me, very much worth the money. Without it, I would have really struggled learning the quant concepts, and I would have had trouble polishing my verbal and DI skills (especially data sufficiency). I liked the huge volume of practice questions, and the detailed explanations for all of them. I usually felt good about questions after reading the written explanations, but if I didnt, the video explanations and the AI chat helper always filled in the rest. I strongly recommend this course to anyone. I did the self study version, I can only imagine how much the live classes would help given how positive my experience was with self study. Very much worth the money. I used it for a month and a half and improved 60 points. 635 on first practice to 695 final score.

Strengths:
Quant courses and custom test bank
Would make the product better:
Nothing!
I used TTP mainly to strengthen my Quant skills, and it ended up being one of the best decisions I made during my GMAT prep. The lessons are broken down step by step, so even the harder topics felt much more approachable. I also really appreciated the structured study plan, which kept me consistent and made sure I was covering everything I needed without wasting time. Beyond Quant, I found the Verbal and Data Insights test banks super useful for extra practice. The realistic problems and detailed solutions helped me learn quickly and boosted my confidence heading into test day.
Strengths:
Great error tracker, thorough content review, great intermediary quizzes
Would make the product better:
More content for Verbal and Data Insights sections
TTP helped me so much to study for the GMAT. It was the only thing I used and a very comprehensive study tool, the only one I needed. I appreciated the way the program was set up, and the course covered everything I needed to know on the test. I appreciated the thoroughness of the content and the way the course allowed me to review topics consistently; I felt like that was what helped me make the bump in my score. I would definitely recommend this to anybody thinking of studying for the GMAT. The flexible nature of the course also makes it accessible to anybody working at their own pace.
Strengths:
Very comprehensive review of all the foundational skills needed to succeed on the test
Would make the product better:
More video explanations.
When I first started thinking seriously about the GMAT, I was overwhelmed. Everyone I spoke to seemed to have a different opinion on the “best” resource, and I didn’t know where to begin. Eventually, I landed on Target Test Prep (TTP) after hearing about it from friends and browsing GMAT Club reviews. I can confidently say that choosing TTP was one of the best decisions I made in my prep journey.
At the beginning, I was inconsistent. Work and life made it hard to carve out enough time. From September to December, I averaged maybe 5 hours a week — not nearly enough. During the holidays, I realized I had only completed about 10–15% of the course. It was sobering: TTP had everything I needed, but I wasn’t using it to its full potential.
What helped me at this stage was the structure of TTP. The program maps everything out: theory → practice → review. There was no guesswork. Even though I wasn’t putting in enough hours yet, I never felt “lost” about what to study next.
In January, I made a commitment: 10+ hours per week, non-negotiable. TTP became my study partner. I’d log in, follow the study plan, take chapter tests, and move on. No wasted time wondering if I was doing the right thing.
By March, I had completed about 60% of the course. That’s when I noticed a big shift — patterns started clicking, problem types became recognizable, and I wasn’t intimidated by difficult quant questions anymore. Verbal also improved because the logical process I built through TTP’s lessons carried over into eliminating wrong answer choices.
Once I was ~85% through the course, I focused on timing and building test stamina. TTP’s hard-level practice questions were a game-changer — in many cases, tougher than what I saw on the real GMAT. This gave me a lot of confidence.
I did make one mistake: I rushed to take the test too early after finishing the theory. TTP strongly recommends leaving a few weeks at the end for mocks and review, and they’re absolutely right. When I retested later, after doing custom mixed sets and simulating test conditions properly, the results spoke for themselves.
What I Loved About TTP:
Structure & Clarity: No second-guessing what to study. You just follow the plan.
Depth: Every concept is covered thoroughly. If you put in the time, gaps get filled.
Question Bank: Huge variety, with difficulty levels that stretch you.
Analytics: I could clearly see where I was weak and target those areas.
Takeaways & Recommendations:
Start early and go hard. It’s better to do 12–15 hours a week for a few months than drag it out for a year.
Finish the chapters. Even if you think you “get it,” the later practice builds the skills you’ll need under time pressure.
Simulate test conditions. Don’t pause, don’t skip — treat your prep like the real exam.
Leave time at the end. Mocks and custom problem sets are CRITICAL.

Strengths:
Really flexible and good explanations for tricky questions
Would make the product better:
A bit pricey but i think it's worth it
I used to only get around 555 on mock tests while only doing the OG questions without using TTP. Being devastated by my performance, I started looking for GMAT practice problems and stumbled across TTP. After two months I was able to achieve around 655 on mock, and got a 675 on the actual test. The Quant practice problems really helped me to write the actual test at ease even with 5 more extra minutes, TTP has a bunch of questions bank with various difficulty, so if you're a lazy person like I am you could just finish all the medium to hard problems, which saves a lot of time.
Strengths:
It’s so comprehensive and breaks everything down for anyone to understand. They focus on building your confidence to perform on test day.
I don’t think anything else on the market comes close. It’s so detailed and focuses not only on just getting your knowledge up the curve but also getting your mindset to perform. This second part is as important and can’t be overlooked.
The quant content is super detailed and they really focus on building fundamental understanding and a solid foundation. If you’re the type of person who wants fundamental understanding, this is the course for you. Verbal (I only did CR) gets you understanding on the types of common biases people use in reasoning and really honing in on arguments and how they are structured. I think what I’ve learnt in verbal CR is useful in everyday life to be honest. Their DI course is a combo of these two and honestly quite fun to go through.
Strengths:
I used TTP for 90% of my GMAT prep and was very happy with the results. I scored a 715 - they do a really good job of being comprehensive with the types of questions asked on the GMAT.
Would make the product better:
The Data Insights chapter tests could use a few more tests
Overall, I am very happy with Target Test Prep. I scored a 715 on my GMAT Focus Edition and attribute most of my success to TTP. I primarily used the Chapter Tests and felt that they were very comprehensive and similar to the actual GMAT test and practice exams. I would strongly recommend the course to other students looking to ace the GMAT. Target Test Prep's review course is also very helpful for learning concepts that you may be rusty on or have not learned before. Target Test Prep + practice exams should be more than sufficient for your entire gmat study.
