TTP is a budget friendly option optimal for go getters. While it takes somebody with enough discipline to work their way through the entire course, TTP is a fairly comprehensive option when combined with the free problems available online, especially on GMATClub.

Frankly, I didn't have the discipline or the time to work through everything before I took the exam, but I found the piecemeal portions I went through quite helpful nonetheless. I certainly used many of the strategies TTP taught on the actual GMAT exam.

Far more effective for quant than verbal, as the verbal still has kinks to work out, but the quant alone is likely worth your money. I would recommend TTP to those looking for something cheaper than a class, but more thorough than a book.

I finished my first GMAC practice test with a score of 680, and after 3 months of studying with TTP, improved to a 760. Their approach to the quant section is very comprehensive and it gives you the tools and confidence you need to do very well. I'm definitely stronger on verbal than I am on quant, and TTP helped make up that difference for me.

Sections are very specific and comprehensive. Everything on the actual test I encountered on during the test prep. Each chapter has a good breakdown of different types, and you can focus your practice on weaker sections.

They're just beginning to launch verbal, but I was able to benefit from that as well - the questions are generally harder than the ones on the GMAT so they're good prep.

I signed up for TTP after reading the amazing reviews of its offerings on both GMAT Club and Reddit. This product did not disappoint at all.

I was looking to improve my GMAT quant score and reach the Q50/51 range (I work in a non-quantitative field so this was particularly important for me to achieve). Having already studied the OG books and the Manhattan Quant book, I was confident in my understanding of the Quant theories being tested in the GMAT. I soon realised however that I needed to truly drill in these concepts and practice a ton of questions - this is where TTP truly excelled.

TTP's question bank is extensive and as close as I could find to real GMAT questions. The answers provided (including the step by step method to get the answers) were clear and helped improve my understanding of the concepts being tested and how to apply such concepts to complicated scenarios.

Going into the test, I felt confident that even when faced with tough questions, I had the necessary skills to break such questions down into first principles and apply what TTP had taught me to answer the question at hand.

Thanks TTP for helping me achieve my Q50 goal - truly a resource worth paying for.

I finally broke 700 and it was all because of TTP.

I started this messed up journey in 2018 when I thought I'd attend my unranked state school's MBA program. I studied for a month or so then sat for the exam. ... 480. I couldn't even be taken seriously by my state school's standards of a 500 minimum GMAT. In that moment, I had a real epiphany - I'm going to have to work twice as hard to get half as far in life. It's a humbling moment when you realize you're well below average.

I spent that year learning how to learn, studying, reading, and bettering myself in all aspects. In the early summer of 2020, I thought I was ready to try the GMAT again. I took one of the GMAC practice tests and ... 530. Are you kidding me.

That's when I realize I needed help. I couldn't do this alone. I scoured reviews, YouTube, and even reached out personally to people to see what test-prep they liked best. I watched webinars, and realized, a lot of these test-prep companies weren't for me. To add to this, the predatory, HEAVY advertising gave me a lot of trust issues - I know this because I work in advertising... I'm part of the problem lol.

After going to the deepest darkest depths of YouTube, I ran into this review video about some Australian guy who spent a year getting from a 470 to a 710 with the help of TTP. I wanted to believe it was authentic (still not sure because I think he's affiliated with TTP in some way), but tbh, his story was super similar to mine. Real or not, TTP's sales pitch was the most relatable to me.

And oh boy did I make the right choice. If you didn't have a strong foundation in Math or Grammar, you NEED this. Honestly TTP should sell it's course to High-Schools. It's literally life changing.

What I liked most is that TTP didn't FEEL like WORK. Their UI/UX (design of website) is aesthetically pleasing and the module are very easy to follow. But not too easy - they still make a point for you to learn and internalize the concepts (this was HUGE for me).

Also, Scott, the guy who talks in most of the videos is candid and seems like a guy you could have a beer with. Most of the other test prep videos are so monotone and lecture-like. If I had to listen to 6 months of someone droning on about probabilities I would have literally lost my mind. TTP is super casual with their approach to learning which really helps you give a crap. They get it - you're probably not doing this because you live math or the GMAT. It's a means to an end and they make it as painless as possible.

By the end of this long journey... I can say I earned that 700!

I am very happy with Target Test Prep, it has allowed me to improve from 640 on the first mock exam to 740 on real one.
What I like the most is the quality of content. The lessons are really well structured and though out until last details. Also each concept comes with a series of exercises, which allow to immediately practice. The quality of materials is much better than other courses I tried - as example, sometimes those would refer to some sentence as being "ackward", while TTP really explains what is wrong with the sentence.
Each lesson comes with a set of practice tests, and I really value they are split per level of difficulty. Flexible structure allows to really focus on what is important. Also the number of practice questions is huge.
As a remark, amount of content is too big to cover completely during preparation, unless you have 4+ months (2hr/d), so it is important to devise preparation strategy which works well individually for you and skip some lessons or topics, otherwise you risk being stressed out that you cannot complete it all in time.
Verbal part is being created as we speak so is missing some material, but the quality of content which is already there is excellent.
On negative side, sending feedback to the team seems pointless: I encountered a few questions which are misleading or have wrong answers (admittedly not many, max. 10 out of 2000+) and pointed out a few of them to the team, but they did not do anything about it, although from reply it looked like they would.

I started studying for my GMAT during the summer and was mainly focusing on doing practice problems, after reading the Kaplan and OG. However I began to hit a wall and wasn't seeing a large improvement in my practice test scores. I decided to pivot my strategy and found Target Test Prep to help me learn how to better tackle the problems.
The quant section was extremely thorough and a great refresher for topics I had forgotten about. They taught me so many important and useful methods for tackling quantiative problems quickly and correctly.
The verbal section section was also great, especially for sentence correction. I'm a native English speaker, but there were tons of important grammar rules and methods they taught (which helped to boost my verbal score).
I ended up scoring a 750 (Q48, V44) on my GMAT and definetely would not have done as well without Target Test Prep.

I took the GMAT several times before the target test prep course and even though I used to get all the questions right at home, I couldn't perform well on the test day. After losing interest in the whole process, my friend advised me to try it one more time and study the target test prep material. I took the advice, however, I didn't have more than 1.5 months. I only got the chance to study 80% of the maths course and the sentence correction from the verbal course. I took the exam and I scored 700!!
TTP changed my way of solving math problems by teaching me new quick ways that helped me tackle every problem in the exam. Additionally, the course helped me improve my ability to solve sentence correction problems by 80%.

As a standalone Quant course, TTP was perfect. Probably one of the hardest parts of studying for quant is finding a place to start and developing a comprehensive study plan. For me, the OG book was woefully insufficient in order to reach an acceptably high quant score. TTP had a very structured and comprehensive study plan. It took about 4 months of 3-4 hours studying/day to complete the whole course but it was “easy” in that it was all very straightforward. TTP also forces you to do a ton of practice questions which gave me more than enough reps to feel comfortable with every concept. I feel my foundational math skills have also just generally improved considerably as a result. I have no doubt that most people who complete the course in its entirety will be more than prepared for the GMAT. My one caveat would be to not neglect the recommended official MBA practice tests at the end of the course. While TTP encourages great concept mastery, the format and style of official questions still take some getting used to.

I also completed a portion of the Verbal offering, which is still in Beta. I won’t be rating the Verbal portion because it’s still a work in progress but it’s definitely on the right track. Content is still sparse right now but, I would assume, more lessons and questions are on their way (they added new tests while I was studying).

Target Test Prep is the most thorough guide to tackling GMAT quant that I found. The fact that it's a guided program helped me stick to it all the way through. Following completion, I was confidently scoring Q49-51 on all of my mock exams (diagnostic started in mid Q40s). I originally completed the course in 4-6 months and was ready to take my exam, only to have my appointment canceled (Covid-19 pandemic). Scott reached out and gave me advice on how to keep reviewing to stay fresh until the next time I could take the exam (The "Custom Test" feature is great for building practice sets of any section or difficulty).

I would recommend TTP to anyone serious about hitting an elite Quant score or making significant improvements in Quant.

An outstanding product. The curriculum was intuitive, the instruction was clear and concise, and the quizzes nailed the concepts for me. With the amount of questions the program provides, it was easy to conduct consistent drilling of concepts through the custom quizzes feature. I went from a Q44 to Q49 on the my actual GMAT (Q51 on practice tests). If I ever went back to get a better score, Target Test Prep would be where I'd start. When I hear about someone taking the GMAT in the upcoming months, I always mention Target Test Prep as the first option when it comes to prep. Their customer service is spot on and extremely helpful. Scott is also excellent at communicating and responding to questions (especially on reddit). Five stars.
