Strengths:
1. Quantity and Quality of Questions
2. Helpful question walkthrough videos for complicated concepts (especially helpful for Data Sufficiency Qs)
3. Constant review tests to make sure prior knowledge doesn't slip through the cracks as you start new topics
Would make the product better:
I think a bit more refinement of the concepts based on frequency would have been nice, but this is biased because I wouldn't be saying that if the concepts I thought were "extraneous" actually appeared on the test.
Overall I couldn't be happier with the experience I had. I knew that with test prep I would need some sort of established course otherwise I would have no idea what to do. Committing to TTP like a full time job helped me achieve a score that I barely dreamed of when I began studying.
For some advice on how to prep optimally (if you use TTP or not), I would say the number one thing that I did which TTP facilitates is returning to every. single. question. that you ever get wrong. Whether it was a silly math mistake, misreading a verbal question, misinterpreting the axes of a chart, every single mistake, if reviewed enough, is something that you will be VERY wary of during the test. I was able to catch a few of my own mistakes during the test when I realized I was on default mode and not thinking as critically as I should. Without that skill developed through hours and hours of reviewing my prior incorrect responses, I don't think I would've had the mental clarity to do this on test day.
Strengths:
The to the point teaching on the math sections. It also does well by teaching you strategies for the test.
Would make the product better:
I'd prefer a cap on the monthly flexible option once we reach a certain number of months paying for the services, to consider it as if we bought it in full.
I had tried 2 other test prep companies prior to target Test prep. None of them where able to give me score improvements. It was disheartening to put in over 100 hours with no improvement despite learning the basic material. After using TTP I was able to get an acceptable score for the program I want all while being a parent and working full time through their flexible study option. I put in an additional 160 total hours but with strategic preparation per their recommendation. I wouldn't recommend any other test prep companies for the GMAT other than TTP. 100 point improvement is what I was able to do with just 1.5 hours a day for 4 months.
Strengths:
The course gave me the structure and clarity I needed to finally understand GMAT Quant and improve my overall score.
The lessons are super detailed, the analytics helped me track my weak areas, and the support team was always quick to help. Possible to create a lot of custom tests as you like.
Would make the product better:
TTP could offer shorter courses with one month of preparation.
What really helped me with TTP was the structured and comprehensive theory organized by topic, as well as the ability to create custom tests that targeted exactly what I needed. Because of the tight timeline, I didn’t have enough time to complete the entire TTP course that was designed for me. Instead, I quickly went through the theoretical material and then started taking custom tests every day in different combinations, which I think helped me the most. I would really recommend TTP both for one to two months and the long-term preparation process, as it helps to structure the process and keep track of your progress.
Strengths:
What I liked most was how intuitive and customizable the platform is. It adapts to your goals and schedule by asking how much time you have before your exam, how many hours per day you can study, and what your target score is. The study flow is clear and progressive—each lesson connects naturally to the previous and the next, so you feel like you’re building knowledge rather than jumping between disconnected topics.
Would make the product better:
If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to include more alternative solution methods, since people often approach Quant problems differently (algebraic vs. arithmetic vs. intuitive).
I used Target Test Prep during the final stage of my GMAT preparation, around three months before my exam, after trying other resources. My main goal was to strengthen my Quant, since I had already taken the test and was scoring around the 80th percentile.

I also appreciated the three levels of practice difficulty and the built-in timer, which helped me improve speed and decision-making—crucial for GMAT time management.

Overall, TTP was instrumental in helping me feel structured, fast, and confident for test day.
Strengths:
I think the product is very well-designed and thoughtfully structured. It’s highly flexible — depending on your pace of learning, you can either start with lessons or dive straight into the questions. I really appreciated that flexibility. I also liked the diversity of questions in the sample set; it does an excellent job of reflecting the range and difficulty you’re likely to encounter on the actual exam.
Would make the product better:
The only area I’d recommend improving is the difficulty balance — some of the easy questions feel a bit too simple at times. While they do a good job of setting the foundation, I think the product could lean a bit more toward medium and hard questions to make the overall experience more challenging and realistic.
Overall, I think if you’re preparing for the GMAT on your own, there couldn’t be a better resource. It strikes the ideal balance between depth and breadth, without adding unnecessary complexity or concepts that won’t appear on the actual test. The platform challenges you just the right amount while offering the flexibility to revisit questions, design your own practice modules, and simulate realistic test scenarios. I especially appreciated how thoughtfully it’s structured to support different learning styles, making it easy to focus on weaknesses or build comprehensive skills. That combination of balance, flexibility, and relevance makes it truly exceptional.
Strengths:
Target Test Prep is outstanding for anyone who wants a complete and structured understanding of every GMAT topic. The platform covers the theory in depth and keeps you constantly engaged thanks to the interactive format with exercises integrated throughout each module.
The custom test generator is one of the best features as you can make tests tailored to your needings and the error tracking system helps you review and fix mistakes efficiently.
On top of that, the interface is amazing and easy to navigate, which makes studying less stressful. In short, only positive things to say.
Would make the product better:
The only areas to improve are pricing and quantity of exercises in Data Insights section, which im sure will be updated with the time.
This is the course that got me to my goal (685, 96th percentile with updated scale) in less than 3 months, studying just 3 or 4 hours a day and following their study plan set for 685+. I didn’t even need to buy the official GMAT guide as TTP was enough.
For the Data Insights section, it’s the only platform that replicates the real GMAT format perfectly (I MANAGED TO ACHIEVE 98TH PERCENTILE IN THE SECTION).
I recommend it 100%. Don’t be scared by the price: high price, high reward. You’ll probably save money and time by avoiding multiple GMAT attempts if you prepare with this course.
Strengths:
Extremely thorough on EVERY topic. This product covered truly everything near and far that can ever appear on the exam
Would make the product better:
Offer different study strategies for people with different baseline diagnostics and timeline
I LOVE TTP!
Ok guys honestly though, TTP made acing this beach of an exam possible, especially when you are neurodivergent. Personally, I lose interest very quickly when studying from books (cueing Princeton Reviews or the OG). The TTP platform is so interactive, with all different kinds of cool gadgets like quizlet-style flashcards, knowledge road maps, and chapter end small quizzes.
Personally, I averaged 3-5 hours of intense studying everyday during 6/1-9/1. Almost 3 years out of school now with a busy full-time job, I'm rusty (at best) on many Quant key concepts. Verbal is my weakest part at the same time. So I purchased TTP's course, went through every chapter diligently, did most Quant and all Verbal OG question questions. What's interesting here is that despite only half way done with my Data Insights TTP course, I sat the exam (which is not recommended). Don't do this if you have plenty of time. I was short on time so had to sit the exam before application deadlines. Practicing questions again and again was key because when exam day came, I was genuinely having fun at the questions and wasn't as fatigued as I would've thought, probably because TTP's question bank acclimated me to full exam mode so I'm now super used to handling 10-20 questions on a daily basis.
The team at TTP, even with the completely self-paced flexible preparation module, set me up for success. I probably used the chat box function to reach out to the TTP team too many times haha. Shout out to Julia on the verbal team. Like honestly she's one of the best teachers I've encountered from prepping numerous standardized exams because her answer is succinct while acknowledging where I came from with my interpretation. I have no doubt that if I were to finish the entire Data Insights section, I'd reach a higher bar.
All in all, TTP was instrumental in my efficient and fruitful GMAT preparation.
Strengths:
The structure and the UI of TTP stands out in my opinion. The way they build you from the ground up is ideal. They really have nailed down on making the most comprehensive prep product for GMAT.
Would make the product better:
There's nothing I can think of.
I would definitely suggest serious test takers to use TTP instead of wasting time with other providers. It's definitely worth whatever you pay for it and you are almost certainly going to end up with a good score.
Make sure you make full use of the course and complete all lessons and tests and keep referring to error logs. Once you are comfortable with the difficult questions on TTP, you'll be fine on the real exam for sure.
TTP also plans out a schedule for you which is quite realistic so I also suggest following that as much as possible.
Strengths:
Gamechanger for those who want to improve their Quant score.
I attempted an mba.com official mock back in Feb-25. Scored a 585. My target score was 695 and in order to reach that I knew I had to find the right study plan. Managing it only through solving questions from the OG or GMATCLUB was only going to help to a certain extent. So after reading their reviews online I thought I'll check out TTP's 5 day free trial. I really loved how the plan was designed and the flexibility it provided to work at your own pace. I decided to stick to it. It had ample number of examples and broke down each topic in nice little chapters for better understanding. I loved their AI assist feature which answered my questions in real time and even provided with more similar examples when prompted so. When I started the course, I struggled the most with time management on Questions. By solving around 1000 examples and 1500+ Chapter Test questions in Quant alone, I ended up averaging 95%+ accuracy with less than 1:45 min per question. Verbal chapters give thorough explaination in each chapter with talking about most common answers, most common wrong answers and traps in CR and RC. It helps in understanding why an answer choice is wrong and can be eliminated, which I think is the most useful skill in Verbal section.
One more thing, My plan was expiring around a week before my GMAT. I emailed them and the folks at TTP were kind enough to extend my plan till then upon my request.
P.S. - Make sure you use the error tracker and flashcard feature.

Strengths:
I really liked how the course broke the quant section into almost two dozen different chapters so I could focus on each type of question individually as I was learning. I also liked how many practice questions there were, and the option to create new ones with AI. This made me feel like I was never 'wasting' a practice question, and I could comfortably practice as much as I needed to master concepts.
Would make the product better:
I think the course materials are fabulous. Maybe a reorganization of the page which suggests the order in which you study sections would be useful for tighter timelines, I deviated from the suggested path somewhat to fit my needs. This is a very small suggestion, I loved the course overall.
This course was a tremendous resource to me, very much worth the money. Without it, I would have really struggled learning the quant concepts, and I would have had trouble polishing my verbal and DI skills (especially data sufficiency). I liked the huge volume of practice questions, and the detailed explanations for all of them. I usually felt good about questions after reading the written explanations, but if I didnt, the video explanations and the AI chat helper always filled in the rest. I strongly recommend this course to anyone. I did the self study version, I can only imagine how much the live classes would help given how positive my experience was with self study. Very much worth the money. I used it for a month and a half and improved 60 points. 635 on first practice to 695 final score.
