Absolutely essential quant review service and particularly helpful if you are looking to score 48+ on quant. TTP digs into all key concepts covered on the GMAT and helps build a really solid foundation in quant. If you are serious about understanding all quant concepts / questions before you take the GMAT (which is important if you want to break the 48+ threshold), TTP is going to be right service for you.

The materials themselves assume the user wants to actually learn quant concepts and not rely on tricks and shortcuts (generally), so you are prepared for everything come test-day. Coming from a math background, this is exactly what I was looking for in a review package.

I used a combination of TTP and GMAT Club questions to prepare for the exam, and without TTP I would not have been able to get a 49Q score on test-day (improvement from 47Q on first try, with consistent 49-50 quant scores on mock exams after I completed the course). Really a game-changer if you take the materials seriously

The only negative thing I have to say about this program is that I only found it after my 3rd GMAT attempt. In the mean time, I got my verbal on track but saw that my quant score fluctuating heavily (basically from 33-45). I realized that my quant knowledge was spotty. Meaning, in some topics I could answer 700+ questions with ease while in others I failed <550 type of questions. While it is very hard to identify the weak spots, I was looking for a comprehensive math program that builds up the required quant knowledge gradually, starting from scratch.
That is exactly what TTP does, it has a user friendly and modern interface and an insanely well structured curricula as well as fantastic analysis functions. It made me practice a lot, often >150 quant questions a day and only allows you to progress once you master a topic. While some concepts I knew very well it revealed my weak spots merciless. I felt more confident day by day and more importantly, my scores improved consistently and stopped fluctuating. Getting rid of these fluctuations is key in the GMAT and maximizes your chances of getting the score you want.

In my case, I had to stop this program after completing half of it. However, the bottom up structure of the curricula (you learn basics in the beginning that build your skills for later topics) already made me feel better prepared, not to mention that I had practiced ~2k questions with ttp in 3 weeks. I scored a 44 in quant and it just made me wonder what other score would have been possible if I would have finished the entire program.

Lastly, during my GMAT preparations, I have learned that there is not one course that suits everyone so bear in mind while one program might resonate with me and the way I learn, it might not work very well for someone else. As I mentioned in my GMAT debrief, a good way to understand whether this is the right course for you is to check the expert solutions / replies on the gmat forum. I found the answers from scott (founder of ttp) always very helpful.

I started TTP after getting a few Q49. I figured I would need to review from the ground up and strengthen my weakness in order to achieve the next level. I trusted the platform based on raving reviews, but I didn't see any noticeable result. Most people who use TTP are barely getting Q40~45 and they are happy with what they get. I don't think this program is for people who are at an advanced level.
I found the questions and lectures very repetitive. Questions are too easy and I don't think they prepare you well for the actual GMAT.

I enrolled to Target Test Prep after hearing about it from a friend who was also preparing for the GMAT. Only thing I regret is that I didnt listen to him right away and delayed in enrolling to this course. If you are looking to score somewhere in between Q47-Q50 in quant then this is the course you should enroll to. The best part about this course is that it improves your basics and then develops your skill to do GMAT level questions. I gave the GMAT thrice till I finally scored 720. In first two attempts I got Q48 and the final one was Q47. The success rate of TTP is huge. It literally conditions you to solve GMAT quant questions accurately till you actually end up solving them correctly on the test day. Another point I would like to mention which I feel is very important: while going through the course I had some questions regarding a quant problem which I just couldnt figure out. There is a chat window which enables you to contact someone from TTP and ask them questions. I explained my doubt in the chat window and immediately got a response. In fact I asked too many questions till I was absolutely confident about the question and each time I got a quick response. I highly recommend this course. Just close your eyes and get the subscription. The ROI is huge.

I took the GMAT four times in the past year. My first score was 700 (45Q 40V) and final score was 740 (50Q 39V).

Target Test Prep helped me improve my Quant score from Q45 to Q50 in about four months.

The program is a lot of work, but if you work through all of the lessons, example questions, and tests, I'm sure it will help you improve too. I only completed about 54% of the program because there is so much to do (I think I completed 70% of the lessons and 50% of the questions or something like that. But the program taught me a lot of math concepts and tricks that other GMAT courses had not taught me.

On my first real GMAT attempt after doing TPP I got Q48 and then on my last try I ended up with Q50.

I would recommend the program anytime (I've already recommended it to a few friends). It is kind of expensive and a lot of work, but it definitely helped me.

P.S. Make sure you review each chapter multiple times. There is so much work that you can start forgetting things from early chapters if you don't review them.

P.P.S. I used two other GMAT courses before TTP (I ended up with Q45 after both of them) so I can't give TTP all of the credit but I will give them most of the credit for improving my quant score from 45 to 50.

I am a 32 year old married management consultant based out of Melbourne. I move to Australia last year with my wife and have been clocking 12-14 hour work days consistently ever since I moved here. While an MBA was always a pipe dream, I wanted to get some cross-border consulting experience to add depth to my profile before taking the gmat, hence the move to Australia. The move came slightly late in life and my age made me realise the urgency around getting a good gmat score in the first attempt itself, so as to leave an adequate buffer for writing my applications. My insane work schedule along with having to settle down in a new country made very time-poor and fatigued. My first challenge when I took up gmat prep was to navigate around the information overload on the internet around choosing the right course material and formulating the most optimal plan of attack. A good friend who is in her second year at HBS suggested TTP for quant which is when I subscribed. It fit the bill very nicely for me - my target was to get a 720+ score with a month's prep as I could only use the December break of three weeks for dedicated study and the TTP platform enabled me to plan, push through and track my progress in the easiest manner possible. The TTP chapter tests were enjoyable as they were bite-sized and were organised around a gradually increasing difficulty level (the hardest level was brutal), gamified by benchmarking performance against that of other subscribers. 15 days into the prep, I gained enough confidence to take an official mock, scoring a 700, which was good enough for me to schedule my official exam in early February. I finished my TTP course by the 20th of January (exactly 35 days) and starting taking a series of mocks, scoring around the 730 mark (going as high as 760 towards the end). Test day came and I got a score of 730 which was just what the doctor ordered!
While I know that my prep was rushed and that it's not ideal to compress an almost 3 month long prep process to a period that's just a third long, I am sure there would be a lot of people who won't have the luxury of time, hence I can't stress the benefit of using TTP enough to optimise gmat prep and cut the clutter around choosing the right prep material going in.

First, I took a baseline gmat and received a 550. I spent 3 months using a competitor as sole study course. I worked my way through the books in ~3 months time, studying a varied amount per day but usually at least 1hr. After finishing the course, I took a practice gmat to see where I stood. I scored a 650. Figuring I was doing ok, i continued using the competitor and continued to take practice tests, but was consistently scoring below 600. Realizing the competitor was not clicking for whatever reason, I started asking friends who had prepped for the gmat what course/material they used. A friend who I trust and received a high score recommended Target. I decided to give it a shot.

Upon starting Target, I quickly realized it was extensive and thorough. I worked my way through the program, completeing each module and each test in sequential order. I scheduled a gmat about ~70% of the way through the program and received a 620...not exactly what I was hoping for. I was pretty defeated, but I stayed with the program. After finishing the program, I used the custom test function to drill concepts and create tests that would help me improve my weakest areas. 3 months after the 620 score, I took the gmat again. I felt extremely prepared and felt like the work I had put in on Target would set me up for success on this test. I received a 48Q and 730 overall.

Target does a fantastic job breaking down each concept into its most basic components. After you work to master the fundamentals, Target does a great job on building on those fundamentals to get you confident in answering the most difficult quant problems. I ended up using Target for ~6 months. I was working full time and studying 1-2 hours per day m-f and 3-4 each saturday and sunday. I can honestly say I felt I understood every quantitive concept that the gmat was testing because of Target.

Targets was able to make material click in ways that the competitor I was using was not able to. I felt that the way that the course was structured was perfect in that it really drilled each aspect of the fundamentals until you mastered them. Once you mastered them, the course introduced more difficult questions, but provided extremely detailed video and written explanations for each concept/question that helped to explain how to break down the question into the fundamentals that the GMAT was attempting to test. These written and video explanations were thorough and I felt like I was receiving in person tutoring.

Lastly, the custom tests that you are able to create following the completion of the program was an extremely valuable tool. I felt like I was able to create new quant sections each study session from Target's bank of easy, medium, and difficult questions. These custom tests allowed me to drill home concepts, but also to nail timing that is essential to success on the gmat. On their custom tests, you can pick and choose concepts, # of questions, difficult, and time limit. The possibilities are immense and I used this tool for the last 2 months relentlessly to feel confident on test day.

As someone with a liberal arts background, quant did not come easy to me. Target took me to 48Q and I will definitely be recommending it to anyone who asks!

Target Test Prep gave me a sense of assurance - it was like "just follow the path and you'll be fine", at least for me. The course covered all the topics possible of GMAT Quant and was very beautifully structured. All the solutions to maths problems were comprehensive as well. Also, I especially loved the analytics that provided helpful insights and which gaps exactly to tackle. I took GMAT 3 times and my quant scores were 50, 48, 49. I used to think that I was not that good at maths (so probably I couldn't self-study), but luckily TTP had all the useful tips.

Hello person reading this,

Just wanted to write this quick review to let everyone know that Target Test Prep really is the only quant prep you need. I have taken the GMAT 4x. First time I took it, I scored a dismal 25 in quant. Second time I scored a 38. The third time, I scored a 42. By this time, I had used Manhattan Prep, GMAT Club Tests, and the OG books. The fourth time I took it, the only prep I used was the Target Test Prep course. This product is the best by far for quant. No other product comes close. However, it only focuses Quant, so if you need to study verbal you will need to find something else in conjunction. Not only does TTP focus on improving your quant skills for the test, it also takes a holistic approach to learning and test day in general. They offer tips for learning better, such as active learning, being present, etc. This course will help give you tips to learn better in other areas as well. Well anyway, after the last test I scored a 49 on quant! My only regret is not finding TTP sooner. It would have saved me a few tests and a lot of time and money. So if you are reading this and you are unsure what to get. GET THIS! You really won't regret it. Hope this helps. Please feel free to message me!

I'm not sure how somebody is humanly capable of completing TTP in less than 3-4 months. The course was exactly what I needed to hone my skills in Quant. I learned that the GMAT takes a combination of skill and ability, but not much knowledge outside of some formulas.

Both your skill and ability will improve dramatically with the amount of questions TTP will throw at you.

They help you build a skill and then test your ability, help build another skill and test your ability....rinse and repeat.

Proof is in the pudding, go check out my debrief below!
