I recommend TTP for people studying for the GMAT. Their presentation along with the multitude of small benefits helped a lot. I credit my 715 to the fact that I was able to study properly by following the schedule set for me. I had no doubts after reading their explanations and it helped me out a lot .
They also had video explanations for those interested in that.
TTP covered not only the topics and subjects but also concepts like timing, strategy and the like. I enjoyed the fact they taught solid GMAT fundamentals and no gimmicks.
You will have no issue studying the GMAT and scoring well if you follow their plan.
Strengths:
the monetary ROI, highly detailed lessons, large amounts of practice quizzes, and the resources to identify gaps in your knowledge and specifically fill those gaps.
Would make the product better:
I would recommend taking full advantage of all free resources. Utilize the free trials from GMAT club, attend free workshops, watch Youtube videos, google practice questions, and ask AI for a detailed study plan and study materials. After you have exhausted the free materials, invest in a TTP course to really dive deep into the expertise and guidance from the best of the best.
TTP's flexible prep self-guided course provided immense ROI and the perfect balance of flexibility and structure for my chaotic schedule. I am currently in my senior year of my undergraduate degree, working at Koch Industries, and volunteering multiple times a week. I did not have much time or money to invest in official study materials; yet, the principles and knowledge I learned through TTP were specific enough to boost my score from a 615 to a 705 in less than two months. I would strongly recommend the flexibile prep course to GMAT students at a very minimum. If you have more time or resources, I would even recommend taking it a step further to purchase one of the more inclusive study plans. Even though I was on the cheapest plan, the TTP team took the time to reach out and personally help me achieve my goals. They are truly a pleasure to work with.
Strengths:
High-quality, realistic practice questions with very helpful analytics. Detailed explanations and mock tests made preparation efficient.
Would make the product better:
Add more structured study plans for different timelines and slightly deeper explanations for tougher verbal questions.
I used this resource for about two months and saw a huge improvement in my GMAT performance. I started with a 625 baseline and was struggling with quant accuracy and timing. The practice, combined with analytics, helped me identify weak spots quickly and focus on high-impact areas. The questions felt close to the real exam and helped build confidence. What stood out most was the quality of explanations and the ability to review mistakes in depth. By test day, I felt prepared and calm. I ended up scoring a 715. I highly recommend this for anyone serious about improving their test score in a short period of time.
Strengths:
1) Structured yet tailored learning curriculum
TTP offers one of the most logically structured GMAT curriculums I’ve seen. You can select a target score at the outset, and the platform automatically organizes the material in a clear, step-by-step progression. This made it easy to trust the process and focus on execution rather than wondering what to study next. Despite being highly structured, the course still feels personalized to your goals and timeline.
2) Strong emphasis on foundational understanding, especially in Quant
TTP excels at building real foundational knowledge rather than overwhelming students with formulas or shortcuts. Concepts are explained patiently and clearly—almost as if a good teacher were walking you through the logic step by step. This was particularly valuable in Quant, where TTP takes the time to explain why things work, not just how to solve them. The tips and strategic insights throughout the lessons are practical and immediately applicable.
3) Speed, convenience, and efficiency in practice and review
The integration of practice questions directly into learning sections is a major strength. You can immediately reinforce concepts without switching contexts. The review tools are also excellent: weaknesses are clearly identified, performance is tracked by topic, and content is broken into well-defined sections that make targeted review fast and efficient. This design is especially powerful for students with limited study time.
Would make the product better:
TTP is already a very complete product, but one potential improvement would be to include more content that builds intuitive understanding for certain high-variability topics. Some concepts—such as Inequalities in Quant or nuanced Verbal strategies—benefit enormously from alternative mental models or visual explanations.
For example, I found YouTube content from Aditya Kumar (for Inequalities) and GMAT Ninja (for Verbal) particularly strong at developing intuition. If TTP could integrate or emulate the best insights from these types of explanations—perhaps as optional “intuition-building” modules—it would be hard to imagine a student needing any external resources at all.
Overall, TTP is a comprehensive GMAT learning guide that stands out for its efficiency and convenience. With only one month to prepare due to Round 2 application deadlines, I needed a resource that would let me move fast without sacrificing depth. TTP allowed me to essentially “speed-run” the foundational content while still gaining meaningful understanding—especially in Quant.
I improved from a 635 on my first mock to a 715 in just one month of intensive study. This kind of progress would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible, using traditional books or other materials I explored. For students on a tight timeline who still want a thorough and well-structured preparation, TTP is hard to beat.
Strengths:
- Very comprehensive, covers all aspects of the course, and trains you to watch out for common traps, allowing you to distinguish yourself
- TTPs wide amount of questions for Quant is particularly helpful, giving you plenty of questions to strengthen weak points
Would make the product better:
TTPs large array of offering on the course can make it easy to get bogged down in answering everything possible, which initially made me spend extra time on topics I was already comfortable with. Given my variable work schedule, I took the mission based approach, and methods which can help maintain progress on the course in line with the proposed exam date could help in scheduling sections adequately
TTP was a game-changer for me in not just helping me learn the relevant parts of the test, but also motivating me to learn more, continuously progressing to achieve my desired score. As mentioned in the strengths, the wide offering of TTP kept me continuously interested and keen to keep improving on practice tests. Furthermore, the opportunity to review my areas of strengths and weaknesses allowed me to focus on what I wasn't succeeding on, particularly on the verbal side of things.
While it can be easy to get bogged down in the amount there is, every bit helps. There is something for all kinds of learning styles, and the flexible plan was perfect for me, especially as I prefer reading and doing questions for my revision. Practice tests for all difficulties can build confidence and accuracy, with other offerings such as flashcards helping retain memory.
Strengths:
Target Test Prep’s biggest strength is its Quant curriculum. It is the most structured, comprehensive, and logically built GMAT Quant program I have used. Every topic is broken down into clear concepts, followed by increasing levels of difficulty that actually train test-taking ability, not just formula memorization. The error tracking, analytics, and adaptive review system are extremely effective in identifying weak areas and forcing mastery. The question quality is very close to official GMAT level, especially for medium and hard problems. For someone targeting a high Quant percentile, TTP provides a disciplined, step-by-step path that genuinely works if followed seriously
Would make the product better:
The main area that needs improvement is the Verbal section, especially Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. Compared to Quant, the verbal curriculum feels mechanical and overly rule-based, which does not translate well to the real GMAT. Many verbal questions rely more on intuition, logic, and language sensitivity than on rigid frameworks, but TTP pushes heavy processes that slow you down. The RC explanations are often too shallow, and the CR strategy can make you overthink simple arguments. TTP should focus more on real-test style reasoning, official-level passages, and teaching how to think rather than just how tThe main area that needs improvement is the Verbal section, especially Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension.

I used Target Test Prep mainly to improve my GMAT score and my experience was very mixed depending on the section. For Quant, TTP is outstanding. The depth, organization, and difficulty progression are exactly what a serious GMAT student needs. It helped me build strong fundamentals and improve accuracy on hard problems. However, the Verbal section was disappointing. Despite spending significant time on it, my Verbal performance did not improve and in some cases even became worse because I started overanalyzing simple questions. The strategies feel artificial and do not match how the official GMAT actually tests reasoning. Overall, I strongly recommend TTP for Quant but would suggest using a different resource for Verbal if you are aiming for a balanced high score.
Strengths:
The quant concepts broken down into a very streamlined order is massively beneficial. If you follow the concepts in order, TTP does an excellent job of letting each concept build on each other as you progress through the course. In addition, the sheer number of practice questions, as well as detailed explanations, allow you to drill the concepts in your head as if they were second nature.
Would make the product better:
There are a decent number of hard questions that lack video explanations, which is honestly fine, as the written explanations generally are enough to grasp or understand the concept that is being tested. Seeing more video explanations would be nicer though, as they typically offer a quicker approach to solving the question than the written explanations.
I mainly focused on the quant side of TTP, and I can say firsthand that it is very effective in teaching all the tips and tricks that are required to score well on the quant section. When I first took the GMAT, I scored abysmally on this section because I was not familiar with the ways to approach these questions. TTP's structure was crucial in helping me finally understanding how to efficiently deal with every concept tested in a fast and effecient manner. With just 2 months of prep with TTP, my quant score skyrocketed to an 89. I highly recommend choosing TTP if you want to improve your quant score.

Strengths:
TTP's learning modules did a great job of teaching or refreshing math topics that are covered in Quant, especially for someone who hasn't taken a math class in over 4+ years. The Data Sufficiency questions were a new type of question format that takes some time to understand/get used to, but TTP does a great job of breaking that down.
Would make the product better:
Structuring the module topics in similar ways to the GMAT (e.g. for Quant, linking what TTP modules are associated with the GMAT Fundamental Skill sections Equal/Unequal/ALC so that it's easier to go back to that section to reread notes and practice problems). The Data Insights modules could also have more practice questions.

As someone who does better with Literature-style questions, the Verbal prep helped me learn new testing strategies, too.
The large question banks also lets you get practice in, and the live Q&A chats with real experts helps clarify any questions/solutions you don't understand. The TTP team also is great at responding to customer requests in general and checks in with your progress/needs.
Strengths:
Target Test Prep's lessons and tests on Quant and DI material are very comprehensive and greatly aid in targeted practice and review.
Would make the product better:
I am satisfied with the current course structure. However maybe the course can adjust based on errors and weak areas found from the diagnostic test or chapter tests.
I was somewhat disappointed with my first attempt at the GMAT where I scored a 625, with my Quant section score being the lowest at 79 (50th percentile). I decided to reattempt as soon as possible and purchased Target Test Prep's Flexible Study plan to drill down on my Quant skills.
Their material on each Quant topic, and all their mental strategies for better preparing myself for the test day really did the trick. I was able to improve my Quant and DI scores dramatically and went from 625 to 735 on the second attempt.
I would highly recommend Target Test Prep's content, especially for those who are aiming to improve on their quant and DI scores like me.
Strengths:
The strength of TTP lies in its structured approach across all three sections—Quant, Verbal, and DI. If you commit the necessary time to the course, it will undoubtedly benefit you. I personally achieved a 50-point score increase in just three months while working full-time. TTP also offers an accelerated study mode for those who wish to complete the course faster; however, I strongly recommend completing the entire program for maximum impact.
Would make the product better:
One possible improvement could be the inclusion of a couple more practice tests within the course. While I understand and appreciate TTP’s emphasis on OG tests as the final source of truth, having a few additional module-level tests could further reinforce learning and boost confidence.
Target Test Prep is a highly structured course for anyone serious about improving their score. It builds strong foundational concepts and steadily reinforces them using OG-level questions and clear explanations, making it especially suitable for working professionals.
Quant: Extremely intensive and thorough, with a strong focus on core concepts and a wide range of practice exercises that build accuracy and confidence step by step.
Verbal: No gimmicks or shortcuts—just sound strategy, logical frameworks, and excellent OG-level examples that truly prepare you for the exam.
DI: Relatively new, but comprehensive in coverage and largely at par with OG-level difficulty and standards.
