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.
Strengths:
Exceptional study plan structure: Concepts are broken down into clear thematic sections and the study plan is very comprehensive. Having a well-defined plan removed the guesswork and made me sure I haven't missed anything.
Great explanations: Each topic is supported by examples that also explain the whole reasoning process.
Good balance between theory and practice: The platform strikes a good balance between concept courses and question-grinding, which was exactly what I needed.
Would make the product better:
The course is quite extensive, especially in Quant, and some sections can feel long. For candidates on a very tight timeline, this may be challenging.
That said, the depth is also what makes TTP effective. I personally preferred having more detail.
I initially prepared using the Official GMAT Guides for about three months, doing a large volume of questions. My first mock score was 605, and my first official GMAT score was 615. At that point, I knew that Quant was my main weakness because I lacked structure and some specific strategies that I couldn't learn by just doing questions.
After switching to Target Test Prep, my preparation completely changed. The platform helped me identify a clear study plan and methodically fix weaknesses instead of practicing blindly. After around one month using TTP, I retook the GMAT Focus and scored 745.
What TTP does exceptionnally well is that it provides the clear structure needed to solve many questions in a systematic fashion, where many strategies especially in the Quant section will save you a lot of time on exam day. If Quant is holding you back and you’re looking for a serious, results-driven preparation tool, TTP is absolutely worth it.
Strengths:
The verbal was surpisingly very good, they helped me nail it. They do a good job of breaking down the fundamentals and helping you build a path to the score you want. They also had great back end support.
Would make the product better:
Sometimes I found myself spending too much time on material that was realistically never going to be on the exam, and it was hard to discern that while going through the course sometimes.
I would recommend this course to anyone taking the GMAT Focus. I got more score goal and then some and am very pleased with their support, knowledge building process, and psychological support as I tried to crack the exam. They truly have all their bases covered in the prep and the results showed it. I had several issues as well at the test center (@Pearson Learning) and TTP also helped me understand and plan for some of the logistical hangups that happened, so ultimately I could focus on the test. Finally, verbal became the backbone of my score unexpectedly, and I think the course does an excellent job at breaking down the concepts and getting you to a point where you can trust your prep and just let it rip. Thank you TTP!
Strengths:
TTP has best content on Quant, Each module is so detailed with strong process oriented examples, Definitely a best choice for the best process skills. Question quality is good. Anyone struggling with P&C, this is it for you.
Would make the product better:
Verbal content could be better, I found other better options so didn't use it much.
TTP is the best for Quant. Each module is so detailed with strong process oriented examples, Definitely a best choice for the best process skills. Question quality is good. Anyone struggling with P&C, this is it for you. Each and every question types is covered, beyond that, beyond that the portal is so good that no other course even comes closer to this quality. You have plenty of practise question in each module and custom quizzes. I am not from engineering background, Didn't do any math after school. Used TTP for a month and was able to cover everything.
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.
