When i enrolled with TTP, I was struggling a lot with Verbal and Quant concepts. My understanding on the concepts was weak and that was not allowing my score to increase. TTP's topic wise course structure helped me grasp each concept easily while also providing easy methods to save time. The question based learning method worked well for me in solidifying my concepts before moving to the next. I would whole heartedly recommend it to everyone starting their journey on GMAT. My score improved by 70 points through the course. TTP also provides cheatsheet around idioms and mathematical formulas which you would need to constantly keep going through to save time in exams.

My very first GMAT practice test without any preparation was around a 580. I hadn't done any quant or verbal for 6 years! I then proceeded to study by myself using only the official MBA practice questions and after two months I eventually received a 690 on a practice, but I couldn't break 700. I knew I could do better, but I didn't have any direction. I was just doing mindless practice problems. My studies trailed off and ended after that. A couple months later I decided to try again, but with some help. After reading several reviews, looking through forums, and trying some free trials, I chose Target Test Prep (with the Verbal Beta). TTP is an excellent program to follow, and it's probably the best Quant program available. It will teach you everything you need to know from the ground up. You can easily gauge your understanding with the several chapter quizzes. I recommend getting 90%+ on all Medium difficulty quizzes before proceeding to the Hard quizzes or even the next chapter (If you want a 700+ score). Throughout the way, you can chat with their coaches. Marty, who scored an 800, is a master of the GMAT and an awesome coach. His understanding and in-depth responses helped me far more than any forums. Ultimately, I took the official test three times: 710, which I ended up canceling because I knew I could do better (I was getting 760's on Official GMAT practices), 730, and 740. I know I can do even better (I only did half the Verbal beta lessons, and on my 740 attempt, my Quant score dipped to a 47 because I was so focused on Verbal that I didn't review my Quant on TTP!!). However, I believe I have a high enough score to apply to the mba programs that I want. Overall, I absolutely recommend TTP and Marty. For Verbal I followed a mix of TTP Verbal Beta, which was incomplete at the time, and gmatclub's own GMAT Ninja. For Quant I solely used TTP.

Target Test Prep (TTP) was instrumental in improving my quant score, bringing my score up to a 48 (from a 45) and bringing my total to a 730.
What I found most helpful about the program was how easy it was to navigate through the material, allowing me to target weaknesses and focus on improving components of the overall quant section. Through practice sets/exams completed before using TTP, I already had an idea going into the program what my problem areas were. This is what made TTP so effective for me because it allowed me to strategically select areas to focus my practice and ultimately improve.
Although I came in with this understanding of my own weaknesses, this program is structured in a way that would be beneficial for those coming in "fresh" as well.
I truly cannot recommend this product enough, and have already passed it along to many of my friends as they go through the same preparation journey.
Although I cannot speak to the verbal section of this program, if it is as high quality as the quant is (which I expect it to be), I'm sure it would be a valuable tool as well.

After months of studying both the Kaplan and Manhattan self paced courses I felt ready for the GMAT, but on test day I lost track of my pacing and whiffed on some easy questions, only scoring a 660. I felt distraught and wasn't sure if I was even going to try again. After reading about so many successful test takers using TTP I decided to give it a try.

The first thing that I noticed was how exhaustive the content was. Every single possible problem you may encounter is covered and their self paced learning allows you the ability to take it at your own pace but keeps you on track by reminding you about best practices. The chapter quizzes are broken into 15 question sections so they feel light, but in actuality you are doing half a quant section! By the end of my studying I was nailing the official guide practice tests like I never had before. Taking the GMAT became second nature and when I was in the testing center it felt that way. I thought my initial failure was because of nerves, but those nerves arose because I didn't have all the help I needed. TTP gives you that help and if you take advantage of the material, your hard work will pay off.

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my review of TTP for my GMAT studies. Prior to starting TTP in late December, I had tried self study for about two months. I then took a practice test and performed miserably. I realized that after being out of school for 10 years I needed focused practice.

I checked out a bunch of courses and decided to give TTP a try. Signed up first for their 1 week program and fell in love with the teaching style. My math was horrible (and I mean I didn't know how to divide fractions horrible) and they did a fantastic job teaching me the basics once again.

Their verbal course is also great, although I think its much more intuitive for native english speakers than non-native speakers. I received it free as its in beta, but honestly it feels like a complete course for free.

After 5 months I took my first test and scored a 700 Q47, V39. I really wanted to hit the Q49, V40+ barrier so I took another three weeks, reached out to TTP's Jeff who shared a personalized program, and rewrote the test to score a 720 Q48, V41. I honestly probably could have scored higher but decided to move forward with this score given I have a bit of a non-traditional profile/URM.

In summary, TTP was a lifesaver and I owe a large part of my success to their courses. Thank you guys!

TTP was absolutely vital in scoring a 720 on the GMAT. I could not have improved my quant score so much without Target Test Prep. Scott and his team are also available for any questions you might have and to offer support when you need it, they genuinely care about you doing well on the GMAT. I ended up using their verbal lessons as well and they structure each lesson is the way that is going to push you to get that higher score. They also have lessons for IR and the AWA and I found their AWA structure to be a really great resource for planning your essay. Couldn't recommend them enough.

I am a non-native speaker and was stuck as late V20's till I came across TTP Verbal course. I spent a countless number of with GMAT online prep courses from one of the leading company but despite putting in the effort, my score never improved especially in SC. I was kind of losing confidence which is when I came across TTP Verbal course. The best thing to happen for me was them offering whole course on free trial. Due to free trial I could know the quality of material and was able to immediately decide that I want to go ahead and purchase the plan and prep for my SC again from start. I was able to complete my SC prep in one month and was confident on my SC skills by the end of it. Scored V38 on the day with 88% in SC. My RC percentile was 28 on the day which costed me a lot. Eagerly waiting for TTP RC course too.

I wanted a course that would adjust to my full-time work schedule and help me address critical and challenging areas. TTP helped me the most to improve my accuracy in data sufficiency and sentence correction questions.

Despite my quantitative background, I realized I needed to improve my score for data sufficiency sections. TTP's strategy notes and the consistent application of these strategy notes in their provided solutions were of immense help.

In the verbal section, I sailed through critical reasoning and reading comprehension, thanks to my extensive reading habit but struggled with sentence correction questions. TTP's Verbal Beta helped me in recognizing splits and quickly arriving at the solution.

Additionally, the TTP design provides a good understanding of how you are performing compared to your target score throughout the program. This helped me focus on critical areas of improvement. Scott and his team are very responsive and supportive throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this course!

Target test prep helped my preparation a lot. It is a great learning tool especially for Quant with problems similar to the ones on the actual GMAT. Would highly recommend it. It takes a few months to properly go through the course, so make sure you start early to get the most benefit out of it.
The techniques to ace the CR section are also very well explained and helped me a lot to strategically tackle these questions.
Sentence correction is also very well explained and highlights many common pitfalls in the SC questions. I would suggest practice the OG guides too on the side for the best results.

I signed up for Target Test Prep's 4 month plan and went through the entire curriculum prior to taking my first exam. I was hoping to improve my 650-680 initial score to a 730-740 in order to get into my target schools. After getting a 710, I reached out to Jeff and Scott, who created a 1-month study plan that got me to my goal of a 730. The quant study materials are very thorough and helpful. Each module provides guided examples and quizzes to practice one's knowledge. There is also an extensive test bank that can be customized to redo incorrect answers or ones that take longer than two minutes. The verbal modules, while not quite as helpful in my opinion, also provided a strong base of knowledge for the critical reasoning and sentence correction questions. Overall, TTP was very useful in helping me reach my goals on the GMAT. I would recommend the service to others and encourage them to work through all the modules.
