TTP's engaging lessons & structured content helped me improve my Quant score from a diagnostic Q29 to a game-day Q48. Other products were nowhere near as effective!
TTP Quant was a great option for someone like me, who has not had to do GMAT-style math in many years. I am solidly in their target demographic (people who need a lot of help on Quant).
On test day Quant went about as well as I felt it had ever gone. I was right on pace, finishing with :30s left in the section. I was very deliberate about DS choices, and credit the OG problems with teaching me to be careful with spotting traps. I caught 3 separate traps TTP had drilled into me and felt proud of myself by the end of this section.
I used TTP to re-study after an initial attempt that fell short of my goals (720). While studying for my first attempt, I did too many practice problems while failing to account for gaps in understanding. By using TTP, I more effectively mastered the content and became faster organically. I would recommend using TTP from the beginning to avoid two attempts. I studied for about a month and a half between my first and second attempts, and used the accelerated study plan, as I already had a decent foundation of knowledge. If you are using the plan from the beginning of your studies, take your time and use the regular plan. There is quite a lot of content.
Even though I had covered the full syllabus from another platform, I was stuck at Q45/46. Being a non-native speaker, Verbal was always going to be my weak area so I had to maximize on my strength, i.e., Quant.
One of my friends who was also preparing for the GMAT advised me to try TTP for Quant. I used TTP to fill the gaps in my basics and fine-tune my Quant prep. After using it for 10-15 days, I was able to score 49-50 regularly in the GMAC mocks and ended up with a Q50 on the real test.
Absolutely incredible platform! I was already fairly strong in Quant, but wanted to brush up my skills and ensure that I would achieve 49+. Walked through each essential GMAT skill for Quant and boosted my confidence. The Verbal beta really pushed my abilities to the next level and allowed me to break that 700 barrier. Would recommend to anyone for both Verbal and Quant! The platform allowed me to fully understand and be confident in each of the sections as well as provide plenty of practice problems. Scott and the team really put students who are actively taking the course to succeed on the GMAT.

Hi,
Starting with only 520, I improved my score to 700 (GMAT Online). Studying with Target Test Prep was the best decision I made during the prep!
Initially, I was using the MGMAT books that I got from a friend, but the score did not improve much after a few weeks of studying. So, I decided to look for an alternative way of studying. Luckily, Marty Murray, whom I found on the internet, referred me to Target Test Prep.
I enjoyed studying with TTP because it was keeping me engaged through the course. That I could see my score improving gradually was rather motivating.
The material is very thorough and the grind is not tiring at all. It is impressive how the material builds up block by block, eventually increasing the difficulty.
I highly appreciate the time the TTP stuff took to answer my many questions. I also appreciated a lot of material on different GMAT strategies, such as the GMAT time management strategy.
I will definitely recommend Target Test Prep to all my friends. I really enjoyed the tranquil self-studying.
Thank you Scott, Marty, Jeff, Amaury, and Rafael. You guys are the best!
Increasing my GMAT score by 100 points over the course of 8 months was not easy, but working with TTP made the quant section feel like a breeze. The pre-beta verbal module really helped me internalize each and every question. Slowing down and building accuracy before speed paid major dividends for me. The hard questions in the verbal platform are also more difficult than the actual exam, so the actual exam felt very easy(I am almost positive I made some careless mistakes in the verbal section, as I was speeding through and had so much time left). The explanations on these questions are so thorough that I am not surprised my verbal score went up by 6 points! This platform is truly your one-stop GMAT prep resource, even with the verbal only in the pre-beta version!
Obviously there are different methods of learning and everyone has their preferences - but TTP is legit and I would recommend it to anyone that's serious about GMAT prep. I went from a 630 to a 740, in large part due to TTP.
The program very clearly breaks down all the content you need to know into bite-sized modules, with plenty of questions along the way to ensure grasp of the material. Each section also has a series of easy, medium, and hard timed quizzes that are crucial for "game speed" practice. Recently, TTP has introduced beta Verbal sections, which are equally as good as the Quant sections in my opinion.
I think it's important to also note that TTP offers these services at a reasonable cost compared to what other programs offer.
TLDR: I strongly recommend TTP to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score and can speak to the effectiveness of the program first-hand. At the end of the day, it takes a lot of time and hard work to improve your score, but TTP equips you with all the resources you'll need to crush the GMAT. Thanks to Scott and team for their service!
Honestly, I knew that I was quite strong in the quant section in GMAT as I have just graduated from an engineering course in college. However, I felt that I needed a comprehensive quant course which TTP, I feel, have fulfilled completely as one. The content materials are strategically organised and methodical in their instruction. In overall, I feel that this course has made me confident, especially in the data sufficiency section where I was weak in. One limitation I feel is that TTP questions are not sufficient in preparing you for the GMAT and one should complete OG questions as well to get a feel for GMAC style of questions.
After taking the GMAT three times over the course of a year and having the highest score in the low 600s, I was extremely disappointed and defeated. I had read great reviews about TTP and after a friend's recommendation, I decided to sign up for the $1 trial. And I was sold. TTP superbly breaks down its program into modules of material you will see on the test, provides you with so many tips and tricks to solve problems, and most importantly gives a plethora of easy to hard problems for you to drill a certain topic until you are a pro. I made a game time decision to take the online version of the GMAT with two weeks to study. Each day, I used TTP for 2-4 hours, didn't even make it through every module, but still learned so many new concepts and created my own custom tests. During the actual test, I was nervous because I felt somewhat confident about the problems (weird, right?!) I ended up scoring 710 (Q47 V41). I can't even describe how amazing seeing the score was and I would not have been able to achieve that without TTP.
I used the original guide for my first attempt after a couple weeks study focusing mainly on verbal. I am an engineering graduate, so I thought I would be fine with the quant. I scored a Q40 which really brought my score down. I used TTP prep for my second attempt and not only was it a fantastic learning tool, it was also a great study guide. The format of the program makes it easy to tell how far along you are and how you are grasping the concepts. The beta version of Verbal was also made available during my 2.5 months of study and I found that really helped improve my verbal score. I highly recommend TTP and at the very least use the 5 day free trial.
