I've been studying for the GMAT intermittently and continued to push back my test date as I was never able to reach my target score on mock exams. My original approach was to drill OG questions, and although that allowed me to become more familiar with the GMAT, I never felt I like I was testing myself with same level of difficulty as the actual exam.

TTP was a game changer for me and helped to drive the score improvements that I was looking for. The program was instrumental in structuring my study approach and pinpoint my weaker subject areas, allowing me to shore up difficult concepts and drive rapid content mastery. I mostly focused on Quant as I was already fairly comfortable with Verbal, but both sections are well organized and the lessons are very digestible. The SC section in particular highlighted concepts that I was not privy to before, which in turn increased my Verbal score pass expectations when I had already mentally "settled" on the section. Highly recommend the course.

After studying for 6 months and scoring 660-690 on practice exams, I choked and scored a 660 (42 Quant) on Test Day, with my quant score particularly low. I was bummed. Yes, it was my first time taking it, but I psyched myself out when I started taking too much time on the first 10 questions in Quant. It threw off my rhythm, and I ended up having to race through the test of test, panicking and most likely making casual mistakes.   I took two months off and started studying with a different Test Prep self-paced course, and I was very excited as I scored 750 on one practice test. However, that was the only practice test I took and was very cocky going into the exam after 30 days of serious prep. But, when I got to the Quant, I again froze after busting my butt through those first few questions. I couldn't focus well for the rest of the exam, and ended up cancelling my score of 650. I felt like I failed myself after feeling so confident going into it.   As I did some soul-searching, I started checking out the blogs on GMAT Club and Beat The GMAT. I discovered Target Test Prep, where everybody raved about how thorough the Quant Prep material was. That was what I needed: even though I majored in math in college, I was used to higher-level math and longer periods of time to solve fewer questions. I needed better strategies for solving easy and medium difficulty questions if I was going to break 700. After a hardcore two additional months of going through the supplemental notes and targeted quizzes, I felt like I was prepared for any kind of question on the exam. TTP breaks the material down into ultra-specific sections, some of which I would assume have a low probability of being on the exam. However, this extremely thorough and rigorous study material was exactly when I needed to stay both confident AND calm on test day. When I took my exam two weeks ago, I understood my weaknesses going in. I recognized many problems that I could find simple, process-driven solutions to. I may have still made a few careless errors, but I felt very proud of myself for finishing the Quant with a minute to spare. I believe this also helped with my confidence going into the verbal section next, since I wasn't on edge worrying about how I did on Quant. When I saw that I scored 710, I was absolutely thrilled. I increased in EVERY Section on the GMAT (46 Quant, 40 Verbal, 5/8 IR, and 6/6 Analytical Writing). I thank TTP so much for helping me to almost feel OVER-prepared on test day.

TTP course is one of the best courses for Quant out there. I have tested few others as well but TTP stand out for everyone wanting to improve from low Quant to High Quant score. A good customer support especially from Jeff who is 5 mins away from clearing your doubt, a very well-structured curriculum, and practice tests for individual parts ranging from Low difficulty to high difficulty questions help you move up and cement your basics in a structured and organized way. The course is pretty vast and you have a flexibility to trim it per your weaknesses and strengths. I completed the course 100% in around 45 days, spending close to 3-4 hrs daily. Great Work TTP Team!! And I recommend this course very highly to anyone who is looking for an improvement in Quant

Target Test Prep Quant's course is the best one out there. The course is structured in such a way which will make you learn the concepts deeply. The questions are realistic as per the GMAT standards.

The course reinforces your learning by throwing timed tests at you after completing each module. These tests are integral to your "deep" learning experience.

Also Scott and his team were always proactive in answering any doubts I had through out the course. I am thankful to their awesome support.

But mind you, the course is comprehensive and you should take enough time to maximize your learning from it. But rest assured, through the Target Test Prep course, you can achieve your dream quant score.

As someone who hasn't taken algebra or geometry since high school, TTP was a hugely helpful course. I selected the 6-month subscription and chose Expert (46-48) level. The platform itself is very intuitive from a user perspective and in particular, the tools that TTP offers -- Error Tracker, Analytics, and Custom Tests --were of great help to me. They allow you to really focus on your weaker areas prior to test day. Additionally, if you are someone who travels often or studies in different places, having an online course is far more convenient than carrying GMAT books around with you. TTP tracks which questions you get wrong so that you don't have to, which is also a huge benefit when compared with GMAT textbooks.

As I'm sure others have mentioned, this is an extensive course. It took me roughly 3 months to finish it while employed full time, but for most GMAT test takers you get out what you put in. I completed over 2,000 unique quant questions before test day. I did not take any tests prior to taking the course so I don't have a great comparison benchmark but I only got 38% of questions right on my TTP diagnostic before taking the course and afterward scored 80% consistently. I did not use the course extensively for Verbal so I can't speak as much to those resources.

TTP really helps with the methodical, step by step approach that the GMAT is well known for. I saw an incredible difference between the first exam I took and the one after I completed all of the courses, and I credit this to a few different spots:
1. The problem sets are exceptional, not just for emulating the GMAT questions but for the 'gotcha-moments' that tripped me up in the real exam.
2. The way the material is presented is very user friendly, and easy to take notes with and go back to for refreshers.
3. The lengths of the tests matched up with the actual GMAT timing, which helped with the strategy portion that I was not prepared for the first time around.

Overall, it was worth the investment- 2 months of TTP costs about as much as 1 hour of tutoring. Whether it's a video explaining the problems or a step by step solution, I can't think of a better option if you want to improve your Quant score.

I used MGMAT software, spent close to $1000 on it and was testing at 690 by the time I finished the course. I then bought TTP for 2 months at $150 per month, and I was able to bring my score up to a 730. I debated continuing to try and get ~750, but school and work are in the way currently. I will definitely re-purchase TTP if I decide to retake.

I would highly advise anyone who wants to save money and get a high score use TTP. The Verbal beta is already coming together nicely and the SC prep is top notch. Really all you need to score well is:

1. Buy TTP
2. Buy all 6 official practice tests
3. Buy the additional 400 or so official questions

My Ding review from Paul Bodine (great admissions consultant) revealed the GMAT to be my biggest weakness - especially the Quant section.

TTP had great reviews so I thought to give it a try in a focused 1.5 month approach with 10h+ per day.
After doing MGMAT last year to prepare, I often thought to myself: "Wow so that is how that is supposed to work?"

Their lessons were great and the approach is so much better than MGMAT, because you are forced to practice a lot for each topic. Practice makes perfect. After ~3000 calculated problems I felt empowered to own the Quant section.

TTP also had a holistic approach with tips on how to prepare best (sports, meditation, focus...) and be your best on test day.

Overall thumbs up!

I only used TTP for their quant program. TTP helped me go from a raw score of a 37 to a 49 in 3 weeks. My advice would be to go through the Manhattan GMAT prep books first, then tackle the Official GMAT questions to figure out your weak points. Once you have done this, you should go through the TTP Quant program to really hone in on your weak areas. Of course, while you are doing all this you should also be studying for Verbal and taking a practice exam every weekend. I think what makes TTP so great for Quant, is the rigorousness of the program itself. You end up answering a crazy amount of questions by the end of the program, but I think this is key to really ensuring you will be able to answer the question come test day. I would 100% recommend TTP.

Initially, I started studying quant through MP books, online practice questions, and CATs. After 1.5 months, I did not notice nearly enough improvement to eventually meet my GMAT goals. I switched to TTP and within 3 months of daily study, I reached the 700+ goal I needed. TTP broke down each subject and I was able to understand it before moving on to the next lesson. Its strategic placement of review tests was pivotal in ensuring that the information learned in previous modules is not forgotten. The diversity of practice problems as well as the repetition of techniques made it so there were no surprise questions/topics on the actual test.
