Strengths:
Thanks to TTP I was able to prepare for the GMAT in the best possible way, structured and with all the necessary knowledge.
Would make the product better:
Nothing to improve
TTP helped me make significant progress in both the quant and verbal sections and prepare me in the best possible way for the GMAT. Furthermore, the adaptive study plan helped me to create a structured study plan and thus make the best use of my time. All relevant topics of the GMAT are clearly presented and conclusively explained. In addition, you have access to a large number of questions that you can use for practice. Sample tests can be created from the questions, which can be used to address specific weaknesses. There is also an error log, so that all errors can be reviewed in detail.

I scored a Q39 in my first diagnostic mock using the GMAT Official Practice Exam which wasn't a great score. I tried using other resources to improve my Quant score but wasn't doing too well with them. I learnt about TTP through a YouTube video review and decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. The program is well-structured and ramps up in difficulty gradually for each topic so that you get the basics right before you move on. The explanation provided for everyone question is clear and helpful - I never felt confused while reading them to understand why I went wrong.
It took me about 2 months of regular studying to finish the course (excluding the weeks spent doing only practice tests and reviews), though this should be taken with a pinch of salt as my schedule was quite flexible. The length of the course is long and shouldn't be underestimated, but this means that you will definitely get to understand your concepts pretty well. For me, even if I still struggled at the harder questions, it was more than enough to get my confident in dealing with questions of medium difficulty and that says a lot for someone who always have had trouble with maths.
Even by my final official practice test, I scored a Q45. This isn't great for some people but for me it was sufficient since I was doing well for my verbal section. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I scored a Q47 for my first actual GMAT. I highly recommend this course for anyone who has always struggled with maths - the structure and concise explanations will benefit you greatly, as well as the frequent review tests that come every few chapters. The study plan that is generated for you is very realistic as well based on the number of hours you're willing to spend per week or daily. If you're unsure, give the 5-day $1 trial a try (make sure you use it daily!); that was what got me convinced that TTP was the course for me.
Strengths:
- Comprehensive
- Well-structured
- Easy-to-use
Would make the product better:
Verbal CR and RC instructions were repetitive. It was hard to grind through those sections and the difficulty/quality of the questions can be better calibrated to match that of the official questions.
TTP was an incredible product that helped me achieve a score of 770 after 4 months of studying. It's comprehensive and covers everything you'll need to know to get a great score on the GMAT. That said, you have to put in the work and trust the process. It took me 500+ hours studying approximately 25hr/wk to go from a 640 to 770. Big shoutout to Jeff, Marty and Scott from TTP for their help on throughout my GMAT journey. I couldn't have done it without them.
Tip: Although TTP is a great tool to achieve a great score, for those that want to achieve mastery, I'd highly recommend going through as many of the GMAT Official Guide questions as you can after you've completed the TTP course. There's no such thing as overpreparation, Make sure you rest your mind before the big test and work on managing your time and anxiety.
Strengths:
1. The question bank
2. Great material
3. Frequent practice tests with good explanations.
The Flexible Prep Course allows you to study at your pace and offer great material to go with it. I would say the question bank was really close to the actual GMAT question bank. I had loads of questions to practice what I had learned from an equally abundant, and thorough, material. I was weak in Verbal, Probability and Combinatorics. But by the end of my preparation, these were my strongest areas. The course also encourages you to take frequent chapter tests. The frequency of these chapter tests helped me solidify core concepts.
I really recommend this course if you feel a lack of direction in your preparation. This course guides you through your preparation, does not rely on shortcuts and tricks. The course imparts complete knowledge and does not expect you to rely on any shortcuts for test day.
Strengths:
- Comprehensive: Teaches you everything you need to know
- Extremely detailed: Requires you to practice similar questions many times to understand thoroughly and to teach you how to spot traps
- Great user interface: Super easy to use and track your progress

TTP is the best GMAT prep service on the market. Complete the full course (yes it will take a long time), and I'm convinced you'll achieve your dream score. Studying the free GMAT prep book is helpful because the questions are very similar to the actual test, but it explain the intricacies like the TTP program does. TTP spoon-feeds you everything you need to know, so you can spend time practicing problems, rather then trying to figure out what you need to know. The ROI on TTP's product is incredibly high, despite the cost. TTP is one of the best products / services I've ever bought, and I highly recommend it to anyone hoping for a high GMAT score.
Strengths:
The lay out of this program makes it easy to follow every subject. The fact that you first get a lesson and then get tested on easy medium and then hard question enables you to know if you really understand the subject. Also the later recap test are great.
Would make the product better:
Maybe more recap test but to be honest we already get quite some general test so yeah. Nothing really comes to mind
I have tried multiple programs before really starting my GMAT journey. At first, I tried a program which enabled me to get a 650 at my first GMAT attempt. However, my quant was still quite low. After seeing the reviews I tried the free Target Test Prep offer which was great so after that I bought the month subscription. I studied the GMAT for a month in combination with a full-time job. Target Test Prep enabled me to improve my score to a 700. Target Test Prep is really a well-made platform especially for quant. When a new subject is introduced, first there is a lesson and then you have easy, medium and hard questions on the subject. This enables you to be sure that you have revised everything you need to achieve your goals. Also, the program is tailored for your goals (I took the version made to reach between 700-730 but I guess that for different levels different subjects are introduced). In conclusion, I would recommend this program to everyone who wants to succeed his GMAT goals.

Strengths:
The platform is user-friendly. The sections are laid out in a logical manner so they build on one another. Each section goes incredibly in-depth on the content being covered.
Would make the product better:
Nothing.
When I first began my GMAT preparation journey, it had been more than 10 years since I had last taken a math class or utilized anything beyond basic addition/subtraction/multiplication/division. Thankfully, this was not an issue once I began studying with TTP. The sections are laid out in a logical manner so they build on one another, and each section goes incredibly in-depth on the content being covered. After studying exclusively with TTP for three months, I earned a 740 on the GMAT on my first attempt. As a native speaker with strong verbal skills, it is hard for me to assess the efficacy of TTP Verbal, but I would 100% recommend TTP Quant.
I have taken the GMAT after preparing for almost a year with another prep team. But I scored 680 while my target was 740. So, I decided to start with another prep company and I came across TTP for the good. I immediately bought 7-day access. The product is well structured with great UI and an amazing support team that responds in under 2-5 hours. The VA course covers everything that can ever be tested on the GMAT. Even after preparing for the GMAT for a year, I found a lot of information in the VA course. In QA, I used the accelerated plan which worked best for me as I had already scored Q50 before, so I didn't want to spend more time on QA. Only with the chapter tests for QA, I was able to achieve Q50 again. Anybody planning or studying for GMAT should check out TTP once as the complete course is available for just $1(7 days).

Verified GMAT Classic score:
710 Q48 V40 (Online)
TTP was instrumental in boosting my verbal score from V28 to V40. After failing to cross V30 mark for the third time, I finally decided to go with TTP as per suggestion from one of my very close friends (TTP helped her also to significantly improve the GMAT score). I had used certain other courses before starting TTP and was not very optimistic about it. I only focused on the verbal part as I scored decently in quant (Q49) without much preparation in my previous attempt.
I would say TTP surprised me with the depth of content it provides for its users. I started enjoying the course and saw my verbal reasoning skills improve significantly within 2 months. I finished only 20% of the overall course and started feeling confident.
After completing my 2 months of subscription, I enrolled for the 3rd month and decided to take my GMAT just one week after the enrollment. I took the online GMAT at home and scored a 710 (Q48 V40).
If I had one more month, I'm sure that I could have scores 750+ with the type of content TTP provides. But as I'm planning to apply in R2, I'm going ahead with a 710.
I can't thank enough to TTP for creating this amazing verbal course. The must knows are fantastic and the quality of questions is very impressive. A highly recommended course for anyone looking to improve hi//her score.
I would recommend TTP without hesitation.
I started using TTP after a failed attempt with another prep course, and I don't regret my decision.
My takeaways are the following:
1) TTP helped me demystify several aspects of the GMAT. We all know that the GMAT is a difficult test, but some elements are over-mystified.
2) The platform is neat and well-designed. You won't waste time navigating through the interface.
3) The course is comprehensive and somewhat extensive. But it has a purpose. The level of detail in each of the lessons is intended to help you master the topics tested on the GMAT. Don't feel discouraged by the quantity of the study material! I promise you that you'll go through each lesson with ease.
4) The calendar feature is amazing! At first, I struggled to organize my study sessions. But, when TTP introduced its Calendar feature, I had a clear idea of which lessons I had to tackle on a particular day.
5) The course has plenty of practice material. You'll have access to practice problems within each lesson and quizzes for each topic. I barely used other question banks.
6) The TTP team does an excellent job to help you whenenever you are stuck. Don't hesitate to ask them for help!
In the end, TTP helped me achieve a score of 700 (Q45, V40).
