Nothing really
This was an incredible journey, and I honestly could never have imagined achieving a 665! TTP provided the most structured and effective training I could have asked for, transforming the way I approached my preparation. Their methodology is not just about memorization—it’s about truly understanding concepts, applying them strategically, and building the confidence needed to perform under pressure. Every lesson, practice test, and targeted review session played a crucial role in sharpening my skills and optimizing my performance.
Beyond just improving my score, TTP changed the way I think about problem-solving and time management, which made all the difference on test day. I can’t stop recommending it to anyone looking for a comprehensive, results-driven approach to test prep. If you're serious about maximizing your potential, TTP is the way to go!
Strengths:
Full course is broken up into multiple easy to follow chapters. The self-paced nature makes it super flexible, so you can improve your weaknesses by working on your specific topics of interest. Multiple chapter tests to reinforce learning, which makes it what you're learning almost second nature at the end of it.

I did some self-prep with OG guides for a couple of months, but I kept missing easy questions. Because the GMAT is an adaptive exam, simple mistakes are a killer, as you won't perform at your level. This broke my confidence and made me more anxious. So, I decided to switch things up and opted for a month of TTP.
Because of my technical background, I am used to long proofs and abstractions in math. The TTP DI and Quant courses helped me by introducing me to more practical and concise problem-solving methods that are less error-prone than my usual complicated methods.
Also, the large number of topic-specific questions were so helpful in solidifying those skills, so they became second nature. I still made some of those mistakes, but way less of them. More importantly, using the TTP course gave me my confidence back by reinforcing the fundamentals. This allowed me to have high consistent performance in my mocks, unlike 6 weeks before, where my mock scores were all over the place.
Strengths:
The course is designed to teach you all the key skills from the ground up. There is a well balanced mixture between theory lessons and prep questions. The study plan can be adjusted very flexible which gives student a unique study experience tailored to their own needs, strengths and weaknesses.

TTP has helped me improve my score immensely by teaching me all the important tricks and tools to solve even the most difficult GMAT questions. The extensive range of quizzes and practice questions gives one more than enough to practice each topic perfectly. On the TTP platform, everything is clearly laid out and easy to navigate, which saves a lot of time when you have a busy schedule to manage. The detailed explanations break down complex concepts into easily digestible chunks, helping you to really understand the underlying principles rather than just memorizing formulas. Overall, TTP's comprehensive learning approach, user-friendly interface, and dedicated support make it, in my opinion, the best GMAT prep tool that will help you gain confidence and see real improvements in your test performance.
Strengths:
Structured and personalized course material with tons of practise questions that come with detailed explanations. You can set your target score, then you just need to follow the outined course, the course provides you everything you need to improve.
Do not hesitate to start with TTP if you want to achieve your dream score! The course is structured, with tons of study material and practise questions, each with detailed explanation and videos. You can keep track of your progress through the dashboard, and see which areas you need to improve in. There are timed practise tests and review test to make sure you remember the concepts you learned and you can solve the problems in time. I knew I was in the right hands from the first moment, I only used TTP and it was absolutely essential in preparing for GMAT and scoring 705.
Strengths:
I found that the lesson content was great because it presented the information you truly needed to know to succeed, in a format that was structured, clear, and digestible. I loved the content around test-taking strategies, and I also appreciated how for each type of critical reasoning question, TTP provided examples of common answers and common traps.
Would make the product better:
I was thankful to have my GMAT prep resources sponsored by my company, so I wasn’t worried about the cost of TTP. I recognize that the cost of TTP may be prohibitive to some.
I used Target Test Prep to prepare for about 5 weeks before writing the GMAT Focus in August 2024. With the extensive lessons and practice questions that TTP provides and many hours of studying, I attained a 735 score on my first attempt. Overall, I found TTP to be a great resource for GMAT prep. If there’s one course/tool/platform you use, I honestly recommend TTP to all my friends. The content is exhaustive and calibrated towards building the understanding you need to get a score you can be proud of. Everyone will use the resources TTP provides a little bit differently, you might go a bit slower, focus on different areas, or use different modules more – but I confidently recommend TTP to anyone interested in writing the GMAT.

Strengths:
1) Analytics: you can see your exact strength and weakness areas in each subject
2) Explanations of quant subjects: They explained each concept so simply that you would understand the reasoning behind all the formulas, which meant that I could logically remember everything without having to memorise formulas that I might not remember for the exam
3) Availability of questions: I couldn't even get through them all, so you won't run out.
4) Supportive platform: TTP went beyond just quant and verbal and DI, and provided extremely supportive and motivational tips on studying for the GMAT (how to keep calm before a test, how to approach complex quant and even verbal questions)
Would make the product better:
It's a large platform with an incredible amount of analytics and tools for each student. If you're on as tight a schedule as I am, it is definitely worth spending 30 minutes in the beginning (even though it may seem counterintuitive) on clicking on all the tabs on the website and trying all the tools. This could be made easier by a short video that went through everything, but this might already exist and I haven't spotted it!
I had a very tight schedule for when I could study and take the exam, as I only had two weeks free from work to do both. I had heard very good reviews of TTP and decided to get a flexible membership and study intensely for the month. I did nothing other than study, sleep and eat for those weeks and just hope for the best. TTP was a lifesaver for both quant and verbal (I didn't focus too much on DI). It explained quant subjects simply and in an engaging way. I would study quant from 9 am - 9 pm (with breaks ofc) and then do 2 hours of verbal each evening (don't skimp out on this!). TTP's analytics are incredible and help you see your weak areas.
Strengths:
Using TTP helped me improve to a perfect score on Quant, enabling me to work on a lot of practice problems in topic specific categories.
Would make the product better:
I feel there could be more reading practice problems for me to get more practice in.
TTP was an invaluable tool for me to improve my score in a short time (2 months). I was able to improve my quant score a lot because of the huge bank of practice problems and targeted practice that was organized by topic. The content was concise and well-organized, enabling me to revisit challenging topics while breezing through problems I was more confident in. TTP helped me to gain a deeper understanding of the type of problems I would come across, gave me a lot of practice problems to work with, and even helped address some mental blocks of test-taking that I went through. I would recommend to others who are self motivated and studious.
Strengths:
Gives you a structured route that can save you tons of time and kill your procrastination!
Would make the product better:
In the custom test section , it would be lovely if it has more flexibility to choose the question bank.
It is a great tool with amazing UI that can be leveraged along with your inputs to get to your dream score. Use it smartly to make the most of it. Helped me get to my score pretty quick and that's what I wanted! Something time efficient.
It provides you with flexibility in your prep which you can use to target your time in right areas, For example: I was pretty confident with my content knowledge of quants, hence I could use the accelerated mode in which I just solved questions directly without going through the quant basics.
Categorisation of questions and solving them under the clock gives you a reality check and getting habituated to it is great, quiz mode of TTP does that for you!
Finally, TTP can be a great tool and also affordable if you use the monthly subscriptions effectively!!
Strengths:
I personally found the quantitative section of the product to be its greatest asset. While I was familiar with many of the topics on the quantitative section, the continual focus on reviewing past topics and comprehensive list of questions was exactly what I was looking for and allowed me to develop mastery in the topics.
Would make the product better:
While quant lessons are followed by sporadic tests that continue to test your mastery of previous topics, an aspect that I found helpful, I would have loved to see that aspect implemented across verbal and DI as well.
While the course is comprehensive and indeed lengthy, TTP is what you make of it. In verbal, I was running on a short timeline but needed the basics so focused exclusively on question sets and their key concept highlights, cutting out most of the examples in teaching. For quant, I was familiar with much of the content, so dedicated a significant amount of time learning and understanding their question sets. I personally went into TTP after taking the GMAT once, so had an idea on where I needed to improve and consequently was able to extract exactly what I needed from the course to succeed and was able to do just that.

Strengths:
- Large high quality question banks and section tests

- Great review and callback section for difficult questions/topics
Would make the product better:
- Full length mock tests can be added
I personally used the TTP accelerated study plan which includes comprehensive strategy guides for Verbal and DI sections and just the sectional tests for Quantitative Reasoning (since I am already strong in quant foundations). Overall, I found the curriculum quite comprehensive, and covers all conceivable concepts that could be tested on the GMAT. The course is well structured and paced, giving you quite a bit of practice along the way, which helps with question timing and speed as well. The pricing model is also quite competitive compared to other courses out there. Highly recommend!
