Strengths:

- Extremely logical and repeatable framework for Verbal that removes any ambiguity.
- Fast, reliable support via the built-in Q&A tool when you get stuck.
- Highly structured, step-by-step layout that completely eliminates prep anxiety.

Would make the product better:

Data insight section can be more comprehensive

I began my GMAT journey tracking around the 70th percentile and felt highly anxious due to the overwhelming, unstructured prep advice scattered across the internet. I decided to try Target Test Prep’s free trial and immediately realized it was exactly what I needed to streamline my study plan. I enrolled in the Self-Study course and used it for 4 months.

Balancing a demanding 40-hour work week meant evening study sessions were completely ineffective for my tired brain. TTP's linear, highly organized layout allowed me to adjust my schedule efficiently: I studied for 1.5 hours every morning on weekdays and pulled 5-hour shifts on both Saturdays and Sundays.

The greatest strength of TTP is its Verbal curriculum. While other courses felt nebulous, TTP gave me a concrete, structured ground to break down Verbal questions, ultimately leading me to a perfect 90 (100th percentile) in the Verbal section. Furthermore, their Q&A customer support was incredibly rapid whenever I had a question. After completing the course, I paired my TTP foundation with the official questions on mba.com to achieve my final 695 score. I highly recommend at least trying the TTP free trial if you need structure and want to eliminate study anxiety.

Strengths:

The strengths of the TTP Dedicated Study Couse are that it is remarkably thorough while providing a high amount of modularity. This provided a lot of confidence as I started by relearning the basics I had forgotten since undergrad, then building on top of those concepts as the course progressed in complexity. However, the modularity allowed me to step on the gas when I was better understanding certain concepts and pump on the brakes when I needed to spend time more on others. Doing that allowed me to work at my own pace which was a necessity given my hectic work schedule.

GMAT Prep is daunting and stressful by itself, especially when you add on top of it the demands of a full-time job working extreme hours. Because of this, it was important that I sought out a GMAT prep course, and Target Test Prep certainly fit the bill and then some. What sets Target Test Prep apart is its comprehensiveness and the structure to the curriculum. The curriculum starts from square one and builds on itself over time, so you reinforce concepts you already learned and by the end of it, can be confident there will be NO question on test day that will surprise you. I got my dream score of a 685 and there is no doubt that I would not have been able to get there without TTP. Not only that, but the TTP staff were in touch with me along the way to ensure I was getting everything I could out of the program, which was both reassuring and motivating throughout the process.

Strengths:

- depth of the curriculum and the way it is structured, making it very easy to follow
- the analytics provided by the error log and other tools. Helps you trace your weaker areas and have targeted improvements.

Would make the product better:

- depth of the question banks: if students have a larger question pool to practice from, and customize tests according to, then there's nothing stopping TTP from being a one-stop-solution

I used Target Test Prep across a 6–7 month prep journey that took me from a 685 to a 725 (99th percentile), and I can say with confidence that TTP was the single biggest factor behind that improvement.
What sets TTP apart is the depth of its curriculum. Rather than teaching you shortcuts or tricks, the course rebuilds your understanding of every concept from the ground up — which is exactly what the GMAT rewards. The structured flow meant I always knew what to study next, and the review sets and notes made retention far more manageable than I expected.
The other standout feature for me was the error log and analytics. Even after six months of prep, I could pull up mistakes from my earliest practice sessions with full context on what went wrong. That level of traceability was invaluable heading into my later attempts - it helped me close gaps I didn't even know were still open, and gave my revision a precision that generic re-studying simply can't replicate.
If you're serious about the GMAT and willing to put in the work, TTP gives you everything you need to maximise your outcome. Highly recommended.

Strengths:

The biggest strength of this course is its depth and structure. It thoroughly covers fundamentals and advanced concepts across all topics. I especially liked the Quant and Data Sufficiency sections, which offer a wide variety of challenging questions that build accuracy, strengthen concepts, and significantly boost confidence through consistent practice.

Would make the product better:

While the course is comprehensive, I would appreciate more practice questions in Data Insights, especially for MSR and Two-Part Analysis. Additionally, although the verbal section has a solid question bank, I felt it could focus more on building stronger fundamentals. However, this may be subjective, as verbal is not my strongest area.

Target Test Prep played a significant role in strengthening my preparation, especially in Quant and Data Sufficiency. The course focuses heavily on building strong fundamentals before moving to advanced difficulty levels, which helped me eliminate conceptual gaps. The large volume of practice questions ensures that you are exposed to a wide variety of question types and difficulty levels, reinforcing both accuracy and speed.

One of the most valuable features for me was the automatic error log. It systematically tracks your mistakes, making it easy to identify patterns and narrow down weak areas. This allowed me to work strategically instead of studying randomly. The structured study plan and clear goals also helped me stay disciplined and consistently monitor my progress.

The verbal section is equally robust, offering ample practice to build confidence. The interface is clean and user-friendly, making daily study seamless. Adding full-length mock tests would make the platform even more comprehensive.

Strengths:

The quant section of the programme is very comprehensive, covering all the fundamentals and concepts before moving on to questions. The video and written explanations are perfect and have really helped me do well on my exam.

Would make the product better:

The verbal section could include more video explanations for some questions.

The course plan sets concrete goals every day, making the large GMAT content very digestible. This allowed me to study effectively every day and focus on each intricate section of the GMAT. The quant section was extraordinary and gave me everything I needed to do well on the exam. The breakdown of concepts in the verbal section is also very well thought out. Lastly, the inclusion of data sufficiency questions in the quantitative section is a very nice touch, which helped me immensely. Overall, I am pleased with the platform, as it really took the pressure off the exam by breaking it down into well-organized topics, allowing me to understand each topic before the test.

Strengths:

1) Excellent topic structure - allows you to understand where you are in the weeds of the GMAT topics,
2) Practice oriented - you can really dedicate 90% of your time to solving problems, not reading theory
3) Subtopic markdown of each question allows you to see your weak spots and practice them in a targeted way - this is why it's TARGET test prep!

Would make the product better:

Market the 6-month subscription more! It's really the best for most people, feels like it.
I paid for the 4 month bundle in an attempt to save, ended up preparing for 9 months, and slightly overpaying for the product.

1) The course is structured around particular topics, and the sequence is built step by step. So, there is no guessing what you need to do next! But you can also jump around later in the prep, to strengthen a particular topic.
2) Practice customization. There are step by step lessons, where each lesson has its problems from easy to hard. But there is also labeling per question TYPE. So, if I am stuck on the 'count the number of factors' questions, I don't have to re-do the entire Quant, or even 'Properties of numbers' topic.
3) Built-in videos really replace private tutoring! Most questions have a video recording of the solution. So, when you have no clue, you can follow step by step 2-5 min explanation. And you only do this for the questions YOU need, no go through hour long typical video course.
4) A wide choice of easy to hard topic tests that allow you to practice until you can't get a question wrong.

Btw, TTP is a philosophy of prep, not just a provider: practice, until you absolutely can't get it wrong. This way, easy and medium questions become your familiar bros, which you're happy and confident to tackle on the test!

Strengths:

The real strength of TTP is that it allows its users to really master the fundamentals. The course follows a very structured path that has obviously been researched extensively. It flows seamlessly, allowing the user to master one principle before moving onto the next, forging an understanding of the material that I haven't seen in other prep products.

Would make the product better:

I think more alternative ways of solving problems would be helpful in accommodating learning style of different test takers. One of the reasons I loved GMAT Club so much was that it offered an open forum for users to explain how they arrived at answer choices, rather than a "one size fits all" approach. Scott and the team do a very good job explaining how they think about and solve the problems in DI and Q sections, but there are myriad ways to solve these problems, some offering huge time saving capabilities

Overall, I wouldn't have scored what I did without TTP. The course gave me a deep understanding of the foundation principles GMAT tests users on, and it allowed me to delve deeper into how to maximize my score in certain areas. It has a near flawless UX that doesn't distract the user from the content at hand, unlocking more capacity to understand exactly what you need to learn. I would recommend the Self Study program to anyone who is starting their process with the GMAT Focus preparation, specifically if they start early enough (it is a lot of content). The practice questions and explanations allow for timed practice in addition to untimed practice of concepts. It was a fantastic tool!

Strengths:

1 QUANT
2 Active Instructors
3 Interface is very nice and clean
4 Motivational quotes (if you're into that sort of stuff)

TTP definitely helped me tremendously when it came to Quant. I went from struggling in Quant to feeling confident and relaxed while doing the Quant section of the GMAT. The instructors there also provide help in case you're unclear of something or need guidance which helped me identify my main problem - test taking anxiety.

The course feels very long but that's the price you have to pay if you want a good score. You can't rush your GMAT prep and expect a great score. I tried some other platforms, but with confidence I can say TTP has a very easy to use and modern UI, with clear instructions and easy to follow study plan.

Finally, don't expect that getting TTP and just cruising through it will get you 705+. You have to put in work. TTP just gives you direction and structure to set you up for success.

Strengths:

Very good platform that mirrors actual gmat exam platform, organizes all your study material and schedule so you don't have to spend time on that, and can instead focus on study.

Excellent features like maintains a topic wise error log, customizable quizzes for targeted improvement across areas.

Would make the product better:

Could introduce their own mocks (with score) instead of just being able to give full length papers

Coming from a humanities background, my Quant and Data Interpretation (DI) were major weak areas when I started my preparation. TTP helped me build and strengthen that foundation through its structured lessons and analytics-driven approach. In my first mock test, taken about two months before the actual exam, I scored only 545. Recognizing that both Quant and DI needed significant improvement, I focused on targeted practice through customized tests and revisited every question I got wrong using detailed error logs. By continuously analysing my performance and addressing weak areas systematically, I was able to make steady progress and ultimately achieve a score of 695 in just four months of preparation

Strengths:

TTP's strengths are the customizable structure and reasonable pace. The most valuable part of learning in my opinion is the question answer review videos and text explanations. Sometimes you even get shown two ways of solving and it's so helpful to have that right there for review.

Would make the product better:

More customizable parts - like if I want to skip a section, I never figured out how to do that but mark it as "complete" so it doesn't show up on the calendar. Maybe there is a way but I could not find it. Also, the "progress" % would glitch and erase some of my progress on some random sections if I were to update the schedule. Fix glitches when updating calendar / hours.

TTP Dedicated Study helped me improve my initial practice test scores from mid-500s to an official 655 (V86, Q82, DI80) After struggling to study on my own (Youtube channels and other pathways), I decided I needed more structure to my study plan.

TTP keeps you on track, honest, and shows your progress. You don't have to decide what you're studying that day - it does that for you - so you spend no energy on gathering materials or planning. You can always look at the calendar to see what's upcoming, and if you want to study ahead or get behind, it automatically adjusts. The calendar and plan (hours per day, days avail to study) is customizable as well! (If you only want to study on the weekend, you can customize it like that). For anyone who does better with structure, TTP is worth it.

Four months was plenty of time to get through the material (spending 10-15 hrs per week) and all sections were helpful. Don't forget to book your exam in accordance with the end of your study plan.

I found the most value in two areas. First, the answer explanation videos and text after each question. It was like having your own personal tutor at your finger tips on every question. TTP put a lot of work into diversifying the material and questions to be as foundational as possible.

Second, the Theory section gave therapy-like insights on how to handle the pressure, time, stress, etc that comes along with this process. It wasn't just strong material for the exam - it was teaching you a mindful approach and how to best prepare for day-of. Again, like having your own personal GMAT coach. I found that made TTP stand out above other offerings.
