Honestly, I knew that I was quite strong in the quant section in GMAT as I have just graduated from an engineering course in college. However, I felt that I needed a comprehensive quant course which TTP, I feel, have fulfilled completely as one. The content materials are strategically organised and methodical in their instruction. In overall, I feel that this course has made me confident, especially in the data sufficiency section where I was weak in. One limitation I feel is that TTP questions are not sufficient in preparing you for the GMAT and one should complete OG questions as well to get a feel for GMAC style of questions.
After taking the GMAT three times over the course of a year and having the highest score in the low 600s, I was extremely disappointed and defeated. I had read great reviews about TTP and after a friend's recommendation, I decided to sign up for the $1 trial. And I was sold. TTP superbly breaks down its program into modules of material you will see on the test, provides you with so many tips and tricks to solve problems, and most importantly gives a plethora of easy to hard problems for you to drill a certain topic until you are a pro. I made a game time decision to take the online version of the GMAT with two weeks to study. Each day, I used TTP for 2-4 hours, didn't even make it through every module, but still learned so many new concepts and created my own custom tests. During the actual test, I was nervous because I felt somewhat confident about the problems (weird, right?!) I ended up scoring 710 (Q47 V41). I can't even describe how amazing seeing the score was and I would not have been able to achieve that without TTP.
I used the original guide for my first attempt after a couple weeks study focusing mainly on verbal. I am an engineering graduate, so I thought I would be fine with the quant. I scored a Q40 which really brought my score down. I used TTP prep for my second attempt and not only was it a fantastic learning tool, it was also a great study guide. The format of the program makes it easy to tell how far along you are and how you are grasping the concepts. The beta version of Verbal was also made available during my 2.5 months of study and I found that really helped improve my verbal score. I highly recommend TTP and at the very least use the 5 day free trial.
I took the GMAT back in February and scored a 710 (47Q/42V). I felt good with this score, especially since it was my first time sitting for the exam, but I knew I needed something to push me over the edge to get a top score. Target Test Prep was exactly what I was looking for. Their quant program helped me score a 50Q when I took the test for a second time on July 1st. The chapter tests will make you comfortable with all the subjects on the GMAT. My confidence grew as I moved through the course, and when I took the test again I felt very relaxed as I recognized the problem types thrown at me. I ended up scoring a 760 overall with a 50Q and 44V. The new verbal section is still in Beta mode, but looks to be just as top notch as the TTP Quant program. I would recommend TTP to anyone who is looking to score over 700 on the GMAT.

TTP is truly the only resource you'll need to crush the quant section of the GMAT! I utilized their resources for two months, just doing practice questions in different categories until I felt like I had mastered each section. Their questions are very reflective of the actual GMAT, and they have wonderful breakdowns of each question so you can see why/how you got the question wrong so you can correct it next time. In addition, they are continuing to build out their verbal resources, and the critical reasoning resources they have already built were a huge boost for me in the days leading up to the exam. After two months of dedicated practice with TTP, I was able to score a 770! 49Q 47V, so excited and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about taking the GMAT!!!
I am an international (eastern European) student and I've used TTP for the entirety of my GMAT prep (3 months from 620 practice to 760 official). I can tell you that this quantum leap would not be possible without TTP.
The greatest thing about TTP is how it makes studying for GMAT enjoyable. Going through the study plan that the program offers you feel the need to break you accuracy scores, to learn a new trick or method and to work through every difficulty offered. Nothing is more gratifying than hitting your target during studying and TTP makes sure to notice that and motivate you further.
While the Quant course is entirely complete and perfect, the Verbal has been introduced recently and is still under development. Nevertheless the CR part is very comprehensive and the SC is just enough for a non-native to get the grasp of the GMAT issues. The only thing lacking from verbal at the moment is the vast amount of practice questions that are there for Quant.
All in all - TTP is an amazing course, which will change you from a GMAT n00b into a GMAT Rock Star and as soon as you start using it, you'll know why.
Highly recommend!
I can credit TTP with boosting my score within a month of regular prep, from a Q44 to a Q49. The chapter breakdown was instrumental as a first step in gauging the quant "syllabus" (if you can call it that). The easy, medium and hard quizzes and targeted accuracy levels are designed such that you can hone in on the areas you need to focus on. I did not see a need for any other prep other than the chapters and the quiz sections. Did not get a chance to check out the new Verbal section, but if the Quant is anything to go by, I am sure it will be worth the investment!
Target Test Prep is by far the most systematic, organized, and comprehensive review of GMAT quant out there. If you find yourself struggling with Quant or not making as much progress with traditional test prep books, consider investing in a TTP course. The platform does a great job of breaking each topic down into smaller, more manageable lessons and keeping you on track with review quizzes along the way. I also appreciated how there were inspirational quotes posted at the end of each chapter, and Scott also sends you reminders to take care of your mental health when studying. Thank you TTP for helping me raise my Quant score from a 45 to 49, could not have done it without you!
I took the GMAT around a year ago for the first time and scored a 650 and to say the least I was very disappointed. I wanted to apply to reputable programs that required a 700 plus GMAT score. Having scored a 45 in quant which was around the 54th percentile, I knew I had a lot of work to do in that area. My friend pointed me toward TTP, prompting me to try the service. I was impressed with the comprehensive nature of the self-paced course. I truly believe that if someone follows the TTP Quant curriculum properly, he or she will be able to improve greatly. I was able to improve from a 45 to a 50 in Quant, ending up with a total score of 730. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this score without the help of Target Test Prep. TTP is great if you are the type of learner that needs a more flexible time frame.
TTP took my quant from a Q49 to a Q51 and my verbal from a V39 to a V47. TTP Quant was really helpful for filling in the gaps in my Quant preparation. The chapters were very detailed—the Combinations and Permutations chapter took me from guessing on every permutations/combinations problem I saw, to making permutations/combinations one of my strongest Quant topics. When I took the official MBA.com practice tests, I used TTP's chapter tests to target concepts I missed by taking a hard chapter test and reading the lesson for any questions I missed.
I thought TTP Verbal was phenomenal, even though it was in beta. Particularly, I thought the SC chapters were incredible. SC was my weakness, as 8 of the 11 questions I got wrong in my cold GMAT practice were SC questions. The SC chapters were very detailed, and the Targeted Practice at the end of most lessons really helped reinforce the concepts taught, although TTP Verbal had not released SC chapter tests at the time. While TTP Verbal is still in beta, I would recommend everyone to at least try out the $1 trial period and to test out both TTP Quant and TTP Verbal.
