TargetTestPrep is really a great course and helped me get a perfect Quant score and a great GMAT score overall: 760 (Q51,V42). A 100 point improvement over my already decent cold score of 660.
Pro's:
- extremely detailed quant lessons and lots of quality practice questions (about 3.5k quant and 1k verbal)
- fixed study plan that you simply have to follow and that will cover every topic
- really detailed SC lessons, which will make you familiar with all grammar concepts needed
- nice and clean design
- completly digital course, with automatic error log and performance evaluation
Con's:
- you will need quite some time to finish the course in its entirety (i needed about 250 hours, but you could very well need even more time)
- CR lessons are good, however i don't think you need to finish every single CR lesson (focusing on the crucial topics is probably sufficient)
All in all a really nice course, all the positive reviews exist for a good reason :)
I haven't taken a math course since high school (about 7 years ago), and I was very rusty on even basic quant topics, like geometry or algebra. I decided to sign up for Target Test Prep due to rave reviews on the web, as well as Fishbowl and from word of mouth from friends. Due to work, I was absolutely short on time and couldn't dedicate a specific time/day to study consistently for, and needed a flexible self-study tool instead of a formal class. In addition, the price point was far more affordable than taking a formal class, and I liked being able to cancel at any point. The actual program itself was fantastic in terms of not only content, but even UX. It was easy to understand, navigate, and honestly, I loved every little feature, even being able to speed up video speeds to match my pace. I would recommend really taking the time to go through the chapters and take the quizzes - admittedly, I was not able to finish the entire course by the time I had to take my test, but it helped me immensely in every section I was able to complete, landing me a final 750 score in total. Quant was always my weakness, and without TTP, I'm not sure I would've been able to get this amazing score.
I was struggling with the Verbal section since my first attempt. I scored a 650(34V/46Q) in Nov'19 and scored a 650 again in Jan'21. I ended up cancelling my score this time, with no hope left in me. I read about TTP on Reddit and I thought of taking GMAT again, one last time. Started my journey with TTP on 16th May.Scored a 740(42V/49Q) on GMAT on 27th Septmenber. 4 months are enough for you to utilize TTP as long as you have brushed up your Quant. Even though TTP didnt offer RC during my prep, I was able to improve my score by 8 points in Verbal solely by practicing SC and CR modules. Bother Verbal and Quant modules are detailed and clarify each concept with examples ans quizes. I did not use any other prep material this time, only TTP and GMATclub for practicing OG questions. When it comes to GMAT preparation, TTP is a 10/10 .

I have subscribed TTP basically for the quant. The Quant section doesn't need any introduction. It's great already. What impressed me more was the verbal section. I found it really useful. I had subscribed other tools but this one felt more natural. But they will need to add more questions on the verbal section. Also, just a heads up, as of now RC is missing.
Quant section has more questions than you can possibly finish. I didn't complete the entire study plan. Focused more on the section where i was weak. The overall interface is very intuitive and clean. Their study plan is also great for someone who is just starting the prep. I would highly recommend this over anything.
The content is truly amazing, very thoroughly, and lots of questions to practice are provided. The course methodology was essential to help me to feel motivated, to push harder, and to study longer than I usually did before.
Studying by myself I managed to elevate my Quant from 36 to 42, but couldn't go any further by myself. One month of TTP was enough to take me to the 48 Quant I needed.
The course provided lots of meaningful analytics to show my weaknesses and strengths, so I could focus on the concepts and practice questions I needed the most.
I believe the course is meant to last more than one month, but even though I had such a short time, my improvement was significant.
I have never been someone who enjoys studying mathematics, the monotony of doing sums is too tedious to be appealing. I gave the GMAT for the first time in 2020, scoring 680 (q44,v38) using a regional platform. I was disheartened and it took me almost another year to be mentally prepared to give the test again. I signed up for TTP based on the reviews at GMAT Club in July, hoping that this time I would give a better attempt.
3 days into TTP, I realised that I enjoyed studying math. The slow gradual curve of the course ensured that I learnt a lot without ever feeling overwhelmed. The explanations are VERY simple, with a focus on finding the easiest possible solution. TTP didn't give me a brainwave or a quick fix, it slowly taught me the building blocks of quant so I was able to logically come to answers on my own. Additionally, their support is really fast and the personal touch really boosted the experience.
A key aspect of TTP is the care they place into mentally preparing you for the exam. The GMAT is a gruelling process and the prep and exam tips really helped me in the runup to the exam.
After 2 months (it took me a month longer than I expected), I wrote the GMAT on 17.9.21 and got a 730 (q49,v41, IR6, AWA6)! I genuinely owe my quant score to TTP. I would 100% recommend TTP, especially if you're someone who needs help in quant like I did.
Target Test Prep's comprehensive quant course was incredibly useful in helping me refresh my knowledge of the topics being tested on the GMAT. Although there is a lot of material that takes a significant amount of time to go through, it helps build a solid foundation in all the required concepts, which helped build my confidence going into the exam. It is also very well structured, with a good amount of reading material complemented by practice tests and review tests. The course is well worth the hype, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive GMAT quant course.
So I never take time to review things, ever, but this time I will. Because it was recommended to me, I now recommend it to everyone who asks me about the GMAT, and it is actually worth it.
So before I started any GMAT prep whatsoever, Target Test Prep was recommended to me and I was like “ok amazing, this is my one stop shop”. But it couldn’t truly be that easy, could it? It was. I didn’t buy a single prep book or another resource (besides practice tests from GMAT official) online and it was all I needed. I signed up at the beginning of April and took a practice exam 1 from the GMAT website. That was my benchmark, I was at a 680. Not at all where I wanted to be. And for a month straight I just powered through Target Test Prep, mostly only on their quant. It was amazing, so structured. There take all the stressful planning that comes with studying for large tests away. You know what you need to do, and they even have a recommended time frame to do everything. I cheated the time frames a little because I had just finished college and had a lot of extra time. But definitely follow their modules and exams as closely and rigorously as you can. Don’t skip anything unless you feel near 100% on it. I felt so good about my studying and progress, I just loved their tips and strategy and it was like everything I needed was being spoon fed to me. And they have review tests and diagnostics so you know how you’re improving and what your weaknesses are. About a week before my test date I decided I should probably take another GMAT practice exam. 780. I was entirely blown away and if that’s doesn’t tell you it’s worth it… then I don’t know what will. That improvement from 680 to 780 was after 1 month of ONLY Target test prep. Nothing else. I took a few more practice exams and my score fluctuated around 760 a bit. I realized I wasn’t scoring as well on verbal and it was bringing me down, so literally 2 days before the exam I decided to do their verbal section. It’s newer, but I can already tell you that it is so much of a value add. Just by reading through their sections on verbal and doing some practice sections, my verbal improved dramatically (don’t remember the specifics). On the day of the test, all I wanted was 99% percentile and that’s what I got. I honestly attribute all of it to Target Test Prep. Take the advice, literally just put in the time with them and you WILL get a good score.
Target Test Prep was everything I needed and more to break the 700 barrier and score a 720! I was stuck in the 600s, constantly making silly errors and missing some harder questions. The guidance and reps provided by TTP made the difference in getting my score where it needed to be. The quant prep is unparalleled, and the new verbal section was very valuable, as well. I was pleasantly suprised by the amount of detail in each lession. The chapter tests kept me on track, and the extensive test bank provided me with an abundance of resources. Absolutely worth the buy!
Target Test Prep is incredibly detailed and thorough. It takes a lot of time to get through every module and take all of the practice quizzes, but the invested time is well worth it. Overall, the program is probably overkill, but this is important because once you are in the test environment, you need your responses to be second nature, which this course definitely helps you achieve. I would for sure recommend pairing this with the official practice tests, and you are pretty much guaranteed to get a good score if you complete the course and all the practice tests.
