REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I used Target Test Prep for close to 2 months as I studied for my second go at GMAT online, which at the time was the last time we could take it too.
I went with TTP specifically after reading these reviews and how they moved the needle with quant: back to add another positive review for that reason!
Despite studying for a good 4-6 months before my first exam (stopping and starting with COVID first breaking out), the truth is I just hadnât fully grasped quant and was avoiding it. I was just getting a 700 by the skin of my teeth (my first gmat score), and I wanted to be much more comfortably in the upper range. I had tried rewatching videos from another learning platform over and over but something wasnât sticking.
Enter TTP and those tough spots really unstuck. More than that, there were really useful tips throughout that ended up saving me a lot of time in the way I calculated answers in the exam. In my mock exams I scored 730+s, and despite every obstacle on the day - 3 hour check in process and unexpected construction next door! - I still achieved a 710.
Last but not least, the TTP team themselves, particularly Scott and Jeff, are absolutely fantastic. Any question any time youâll get a quick, friendly response. They really made the difference for me.
Good luck to anyone studying - try out the free week on TTP and youâll get why we all came back to write reviews. âď¸đŤ
Target Test Prep is the sole reason for my 130 point improvement. It helps you transition from measuring progress by hours counted to content absorbed. As a task oriented person, the way that the course is structured was vital to my success. If you follow the plan laid out by the course and put in the work, there is no reason that your score should not dramatically improve. The course gives you everything you need to succeed and is incredibly affordable! As you move along in the course, the target accuracies on the review quizzes give you a sense for how well you are progressing towards your target score. As you continue to move forward, the analytics that the course provides are incredibly helpful. For every mistake you make, you have an opportunity to improve. You will then be able to look back on your weaknesses through the analytics and see the potential score sinking topics that you should put more time into. I would use this product again in a heartbeat.
I used TTP as preparation for my GMAT exam in the hopes of being able to supplement my undergraduate GPA with an extremely strong GMAT score. I had seen that TTP was widely recommended across various GMAT preparation websites, so I initially decided to give it a one week free trial. Based on the the content within, and in particular the guided solutions to the math portion of the exam, it was clear that among all the test prep sites I had dabbled in, this one was a step above. So when that week expired, I signed up for the one month subscription. I spent probably 10-15 hours a week for the next four weeks cranking through most of the Quant chapters, taking notes, and then moving on to practice exams. I exclusively used custom created exams, with only "Hard" rated questions. This was critical to my success on the actual GMAT exam. And again, in practice mode, you are able to see immediately the correct solution and thought process to any question you get wrong during the practice exam. While my verbal practice on TTP was limited to just about a week, it was also excellent. It was beneficial in understanding the type of thinking necessary to progress through CR and RC type questions. All in all, after just 5 weeks of using TTP, and no other prep beforehand, I was able to score a 760 on my first GMAT attempt. I can't recommend them enough. Put in the time and effort, and the content within will certainly help take you to the next level.
Hi folks,
I tried TTP this year and was able to score a 750 in my GMAT. Their materials were logically structured, extremely comprehensive, and easy to understand. I really enjoyed that I could learn at my own pace. They also customize your practice score so that you can goal seek basis your target score which was a helpful feature to measure progress.
I even studied verbal from TTP (SC and CR as they didn't have RC at the time). I found that the verbal materials were also thorough although I would have liked to have more practice material for SC.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to students hoping to get a 700+
Happy learning :)
Target Test Prep is the best comprehensive quantitative GMAT prep you could ask for and it helped me achieve an unbelievable 740 score. The course stands out from its competitors due to the thorough and challenging content and the user-friendliness of the product.
I studied for about 8 months and improved my score from Q39 to Q48. After studying the humanities in college and working for four years in non-technical roles unrelated to business, I knew that I needed a structured plan to approach studying for the GMAT's quantitative section. The TTP course is an unbelievable value because it has so much content, including hundreds of challenging questions and personalized analytics. The hard questions absolutely humbled me, but TTP does a great job of coaching you to analyze and overcome your weaknesses. By the end of my time studying for the GMAT, I could tell that I was approaching questions not only with increased knowledge about math and statistics, but also with an understanding of how to efficiently tackle questions I had never encountered.
In addition to the quant content being outstanding, TTP also offers a very user-friendly product and customer service experience. The user portal is very easy to navigate and has a minimalist look that allows you to focus solely on your prep while you use it. The course content is laid out in a very organized way that allows users to spend maximum time on studying and answering questions instead of wasting time on navigating the site or figuring out where you left off your studies. It's very easy to engage with support staff via chat in the portal and the staff is always prompt and friendly in their responses.
Overall, I would 100% recommend TTP for the aspiring-MBA who is very serious about significantly improving their score. I didn't dream of achieving a 740 before I started the course and now I am well on my way to my dream school.Â
TTP is the reason I was able to improve my verbal score from V32 to V42 and my overall score from 670 to 730. The questions in SC and CR (and the solutions) are of finest quality. Further, the quant course is very detailed. The quality of questions for both verbal and quant is really good. The hard TTP questions are really tough, but they challenged me to really understand the concepts. In addition to this, the flexible payment plan is amazing. I highly recommend this course to all GMAT aspirants.
Thanks to the entire TTP team. It was a great experience.
I am so thoroughly impressed with the level of quality and easy of use of Target Test Prep. I started my GMAT studying back in late 2020 and anticipated spending 3-4 months of rigorous studying to achieve a 700+. When that turned out to not be the case (time management with work was too difficult), I needed to pivot my strategy -- enter Target Test Prep.
TTP's style of teaching is perfect for working professionals like myself, who were only able to dedicate 30-90min/day of study. My favorite feature is the level of data analytics they capture about your progress. After completing the curriculum, I spent many hours taking their practice tests & quizzes. Over time, TTP clearly indicated which areas I needed to improve upon.
In addition, TTP also provides test-taking guidance -- a feature not always prioritized in many of these GMAT courses. This guidance, such as how to mentally prepare for test day (such as listening to pump-up music) helped me score 40 points above my target.
I whole-heartedly recommend TTP to anyone looking to achieve a 700+ on their GMAT.
I was looking at options for GMAT test plans, when TTP offered me a 5 day free trial. I had decided to take the GMAT once I am comfortable with at least 50% of the course, and decide the date of exam accordingly. At the end of the trial I was so hooked on to the course material, the detailed study plan, the structure of the courses that I decided to purchase the one month flexi plan. Having a flexible per month plan at $99 gives much freedom to choose the date of GMAT exam.
TTP offers a study plan based on your score target, which I found extremely helpful. My greatest concern was Verbal since I am a non native speaker. I started with the verbal courses which made me realize that the courses are structured very well. It is not just rules jotted down but enough examples to elucidate each concept. Not only that, any doubt I had, I used the feedback section to ask a question. Marty got back to me almost immediately providing further explanation for the SC/CR rule . The topic exams divided at 3 levels gives scope to build concepts, test your concepts and learn from them. I found the CR material extremely well structured and detailed. The provision to take notes on the go was a plus. The best part is it is almost like chatting to Scott and the team, because anytime you have a feedback you can just send them and they will reply fast enough for you not to forget what you asked in the first place.
The best topic was GMAT strategy. You know that good score is not just about answering all the questions right within time. It tells you that scoring well is also about taking a guess and moving on. The GMAT test taking strategy section will help you on your test day. Overall, I think it was the wisest $99 spent.
I decided to take the GMAT in January 2021, all the while being incredibly lazy and never actually getting down to it. I needed a test prep software that was customisable, easy to use, and broke everything down to the smallest detail. TTP gave me all of those things, and I eventually prepared for about 8-12 weeks between May and August 2021. Started out with mid 600s on my practice exams, ended up with a 750.
I spent most of my time on the quant section, even though both sections were actually very well broken down. I refer specifically to how well "broken down" everything was because trying to learn everything about the GMAT in one go can be overwhelming. Mastering individual topics and question types allowed me to confidently progress in a measured, gradual way which eventually helped me be comfortable with the whole thing.
TTP is hands-down the best way to learn quant concepts. The course is thorough and challenging, with a lot of practice problems to reinforce the lessons. They really build reinforcement into the course, and you can tell how the concepts build on themselves throughout the course. It's ordered in a very logical way, so you build your skills over time.
Sometimes it will feel like you're not making progress, but if you keep pushing, re-read the chapters, watch the question explanations, by the end you will be surprised how much you learned.
There's no way I would have reached my GMAT score goals without TTP.
