After 4 tries and 2 years, I finally got the score I want and I am happy to have chosen TTP in my most recent GMAT preparation!

My first attempt was in March 2019, and I got a 650 (Q 47; V 32). I was in my last year of college back then, and I underestimated the difficulty of GMAT.

I started studying for the GMAT again during the pandemic, planning to retake it online in June 2020. However, after studying for about half a year and having finished all of Manhattan materials, I still wasn’t able to break the 700 barrier; I got a 680 (Q 48; V 35). My friend who took the GMAT herself and got a 760 recommended TTP to me. I was able to chat with Scott and Jeff from TTP. They gave me advice and prompted me to do a lot of introspection to understand what went wrong with my 6-month prep - my prep was not structured at all and I did not really keep track of the topics that I did not do well on.

TTP was able to help me structure my studying. In the beginning, I used TTP for Verbal as I had the greatest trouble in CR and SC (I am not a native speaker). The Verbal chapters are very thorough and I liked the chapter quizzes. The hard TTP questions are really tough, but they challenged me to really understand the concepts. Near the end of my GMAT prep, I used TTP custom tests to review for Quant. The custom tests are super helpful. I got a lot of practices on my weakest topics (such as geometry, probability, and rates) and got to build up my test-taking stamina.

After approximately 4 months of using TTP (in combination with some purchased OG practice questions/mock exams), I started scoring between 730 and 770 on the OG mock exams. Unfortunately, I scheduled my second online attempt during a period when I was super busy at work. I got 640 (Q 48; V 30). However, I knew that my work related stress had definitely affected my score and that I could do way better had I scheduled my test at a less busy time.

In April 2021, I renewed my TTP subscription and drilled myself using custom tests.
Finally, I was able to score a 770 (Q 50; V 45) in May 2021 at a test center. I would like to thank everyone at TTP for creating great content! To those who are preparing for GMAT, definitely try out TTP!

I used TPP during a period of 10 months, mostly focusing on quant but also using their verbal beta version. I studied approx 18-20 hours per week (additional to my full time job and family time - avg 2 hours during weekdays - 4 hours per day on weekends). I think I spent honestly much more time than I needed on the GMAT prep, but I guess I am a bit control freak. The TPP prep should last less than 6 months if you start from 0 (and at the same pace as me).

I started my GMAT prep with little to no knowledge of the quant part. I started with the usual OG diagnostic and quickly realized my math suc... (low 30s). So I then looked up on the internet for efficient courses and went with another provider first, which hasn't been a great experience. When looking online the reviews, I saw that TPP had the best ones, so I decided to give it a try. Honestly, I just not regret to have paid that course.

The content is just super thorough, and the tool is really intuitive and interactive. You go from lesson to lesson, everything is explained really clearly, especially for someone like me who had no prior experience of test taking and little memories of math in high school and college after 7 years of professional experience. The part that I liked the most was that TPP makes you do a loooottt of problems, and the analytics help you see your weak points.

I have taken 7 mock tests before my official GMAT and I scored Q50-51 in of the GMAT off. tests (and a q44 + q46 for the 2 manhattan ones). My final, and unique, GMAT score was a 730 with a Q49 (tests anxiety I guess). There wasn't any question on the mocks or the official test that I had not seen during my prep. The experience has been honestly enjoyable.

Thanks to Scott and TPP team!

I took the target test 5 day trial and fell in love with the way all chapters were explained and key points were mentioned in tiny boxes. Along with that they also had example questions and solutions for the concept being taught. They have small 15 question tests for each chapter/ topic and are distributed in three categories - easy, medium, hard. they also mention the accuracy that you should be getting on these mini-tests. Overall, Target Test Prep makes sure that each chapter/topic is tackled one at a time and you are almost bulletproof in that area before you move on to the next one. It helped me start from scratch and reach a Q48 level. Hands down one of the best courses for Quant.

I used TTP for the total of 3 months and I must admit, it is so far the best source for studying that I used.
My GMAT journey has been long and tough. I am not a fan of standarized, time-constrained tests like this one and in my country, the GMAT is an exam virtually unknown to people. Therefore, there were no good schools or tutors who could help me. I believe my baseline score was around 540. My biggest problem was certainly time management (not being able to apply high school knowledge in timely manner) and convoluted language in the verbal part.
TTP Gmat course helped me in that it showed me my strengths and weaknesses. Chapter tests were very helpful, most of the explanations were also satisfying. Before starting TTP my Quant was strong 44/45. After I finished the course, I easily scored 48 in my real exam. Although I think, that if you want to score 50 or 51, you need to use more sources other than TTP, I still can recommend this course for people who have problem with some logical/quant concepts and their application.
Regarding Verbal pre-launch part, this course has been pretty eye-opening. My score jumped from strong 30 to 35 in just about a month!
I finished the whole course and if you want to save your time, money, and nerves, definitely go for TTP!

My gmat journey in a nutshell:
1. GMAT online 560 (I did not like the form of the online GMAT at all. It felt different from mock exam. Let's just forget this one...)- taken in October 2020
In the test center:
2. 600
3. 620 (and after this one I started to use TTP)
4. 640
5. 690 - taken in May 2021

TTP is a rigorous course that delves deep into making sure that you understand all of the fundamentals. I thought I was pretty good at maths but after taking the TTP diagnostic test I realised my knowledge was very rusty. TTP sets out all the topics in a nice understandable layout, and constantly provides numerous mini exercises throughout each chapter to make sure you have understood the material you are reading, each with their own valuable video explanation. The quality of the questions is extremely high, which means you get used to the hard questions you will encounter on the GMAT. I studied the material for 3/4 months and went from a 590 to a 710! Highly recommend.

I am a non-native English student (Argentina) and initially, I started studying using Kaplan and the GMAT Official Guide books but had difficulties tracking and keep the time under 2 minutes and was getting a 650-670 score in my mocks. A friend of mine recommended Target Test Prep to improve my math score. I tried the USD 1 trial to get 5-day access to the platform and loved it, it was truly great. After 4 months of hard study, I was getting a mock score of 710-750 and finishing the math section with 4-5 minutes left and scoring 49-50. I am not going to lie, to get these score I had to study a lot and invest many hours but TargetTestPrep gave me all the tools to succeed. There are 2 other things I loved about TTP:
1) The excellent customer service They answered my questions in a matter of minutes
2) They not only help to build knowledge but also to build confidence.
I highly recommend trying TTP for yourself, the $1 trial gives you a 5-day chance to test out their program. You won't regret it.

I can hardly believe that before discovering TTP my highest score was 350. I’ll put it this way: Target Test Prep is the equivalent of the best teacher I’ve ever had, but with on-demand availability.

I found TTP through the subreddit r/GMAT. Of course, I was curious; and I saw the responses with glowing reviews and thought there had to be a catch. After researching, I decided TTP might be worth a shot. From the moment I started studying with TTP’s software, I was amazed by how simple and fun their program was. They made jumping into studying effortless and as painless as possible.

In some weird way, their module system spoke to my level of understanding. After every module, there are a bunch of tests that scale up based on difficulty. So, when you’ve finished the module, you can complete it knowing that you’ve mastered the subject at the end. I rarely was left with any questions after mastering the subject.

Working through TTP felt more like a game than a study software. The tests on each module had a difficulty scale, so I could challenge myself without getting frustrated. My study habits were not the best, and one of my major problems was trying to get ahead of myself. TTP’s software would gently nudge me back on course whenever I attempted to skip ahead to later material. It helped me stay motivated and kept me accountable. I found this so helpful.

The features that helped me the most:
1- The diagnostic exam which showed me where I was currently. They let me set a “mastery” goal that helped me stay on track and see how I was progressing.
2- The ActiveReview sheets. I found these study sheets to be incredible, as they came customized with my desired score in mind, and I could fill them in with all my notes.
3- The Must Knows. I can’t tell you how many times I went back to the ‘Must Knows’ because they did such a great job of summarizing the lesson’s content.
4- The examples and the comprehensive explanations. In the modules, there are questions of various difficulty levels, and when you answer them, you don’t know how they’re ranked. What was great about this was that, after I answered the question, I would get an explanation of how to solve the problem in both a written format and a video. We all have different learning styles, and this feature was something that none of the other resources I used really offered. I love, love TTP’s short video explanations.

Their team was highly approachable and available to answer all of my questions. Even after completing the software, they still reached out to see how my application process was going and followed up on how I was doing with testing. Everyone at TTP was highly involved and incredibly kind to me.

I wish I had found Target Test Prep sooner. It would have saved me a lot of money, time, and prevented the frustrations I felt along the way. It changed the way I studied, the methods I used, and the confidence I felt when it came to taking the GMAT. TTP is the real deal!

Quant review:
TTP is a lengthy course. If you're looking for a shortcut, or have under 6 months to study (and you don't work in finance), this is probably not the course for you. I learned a lot from TTP and it helped me come a long way in my prep. I've struggled with math and timed exams for most of my life, and the improvement I experienced was immense. I climbed from a 21 to a 37, but it took me a year to do it. Although I didn't achieve my goal (I still may retake with extended time) I'm glad I spent the time working toward it with TTP. Jeff was always available to answer my questions throughout the course, and Scott took the time when I completed it to discuss my score. The course is easy to use and it meets you where you are. If you have the time, I definitely recommend using it.

Verbal:
I did not spend the time I needed to on the verbal section, simply because I devoted all of my time to Quant. This is not something you want to do, and if it means pushing your application out a year, consider that ahead of time. The verbal section is just as lengthy, but it definitely helps with the SC section and it has some tough CR questions that will help you truly understand what the exam is testing.

For someone like me who pretty much needed to start from scratch with quant, this course was amazing. It definitely takes many many hours of dedicated study, but if you put in the hard yards, it's impossible not to improve your quant score. It's very thorough and covers every topic so that you know the subject matter inside and out. No shortcuts here but it's worth it.

What I liked most was that it's a very structured/gated program - my tendency is to skip/rush ahead (and consequently to skip over valuable material) and this course doesn't really allow for that. I also found the targetted study practice invaluable - I could go through a bank of questions that focused on a particular topic I was struggling with until I had perfected it.

I'm so pleased with my 750 score! Thanks TTP!

I am 38, applying for an online MBA. My quant skills were rusty to say the least! Target was excellent in that the course builds confidence along with skills. Both the quant and the verbal effectively break down all concepts into simple components and then build them up to develop expert skills in applying skills on exam day. I found the sentence correction in particular to be refreshing in its refusal to accept 'awkwardness' as a valid reason to eliminate answer choices, instead striving to seek logical objective reasons for finding the correct answer in all cases. In my opinion this is the secret to unlocking the truly high verbal scores.

It's a great course with a huge amount of practice questions. Some are really tough, but working through it all really prepares you well for exam day.
