Verified GMAT Focus score:
715 Q82 V87 DI87 (Online)
Strengths:
This program was super in depth and took me from not having taken math classes in college to getting a 715 on the Gmat Focus.

Condense some content, it is a lot
Target Test Prep was fantastic for me. I remember taking my first GMAT focus practice test assured I would do well and getting an awfully low score for my goals (don't remember the exact score but somewhere in the 500s). I dedicated the next 10 months or so to TTP studying everyday and on my first real test got 715 (99th percentile). Can't thank them enough for the amazing course. Like many others I struggled with the quant and data insights. My data insights score actually went up the most and ended up being my strong point (99th percentile,) verbal 98th quant 76th with overall still 99th percentile.
Strengths:
Their strengths are the amount of questions and the quality of chapters that provide all the question types with the ideal approach to each of them.
Would make the product better:
AI tutor helped me a lot especially in the verbal section as the answers are all tailored to your concern, but sometimes, it seems like their answers are restricted by the question answer explanations. And, when I point some flaws out, they admit it, but there is not a structured way of reporting typing mistake or grammatically wrong sentences. If there is one, the course will be able to utilise AI fully.
The main strength I perceived is the amount of questions they have. As a Japanese national, verbal section was going to be the hardest part, but GMAT's quant section was new to me and despite my strength in maths, I did not know what to expect from the exam and the ideal approach, and I struggled with the time management. So, the TTP's comprehensive course and the amount of questions helped me exploit my strength. This was the certainly the case for the verbal section, but on top of that, their chapters covered all the question type with the approach that I should take. Even though I was in around the 30th percentile and sometimes 4th percentile, but within 3 month, I got 98th percentile in the official exam. So, I am sure this course works even for total beginners like I was.
Strengths:
The strengths of Target Test Prep (TTP) include its flexibility and well-paced structure, allowing me to complete the course within a month while maintaining an effective and focused study approach.
Would make the product better:
I would recommend adding an option to skip or customize sections based on existing strengths, allowing users with strong quant skills to focus more on their specific needs and optimize study time.
I gave the GMAT focus and got 715 (99 percentile). I used Target Test Prep (TTP) for a month to prepare for the GMAT, and it proved to be a highly effective study resource, particularly for the verbal section. TTP offers a comprehensive and methodical curriculum with detailed lessons, high-quality practice questions, and thorough explanations that helped me build a strong foundation and master complex concepts. The adaptive learning paths and flexible study plans allowed me to optimize my limited study time efficiently. Despite the time-intensive nature of the course, I found the platform user-friendly and the analytics tools invaluable for identifying and focusing on weak areas. Overall, TTP was instrumental in helping me achieve a strong GMAT score, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a structured, analytical approach to GMAT prep, especially for those aiming to boost their quant performance.

N/A - TTP is the best!
As an undergrad student, I was on the hunt for a GMAT test prep platform where I could build upon my existing academic foundation. All other platforms I tried made me start my quant, verbal and data insights journey from the very beginning. I didn’t think it was the best use of my time because my undergrad program has been rigorous enough to give me the core theoretical foundation. I needed to become a better test taker and learn effective shortcuts - for which TTP was ideal. I learn best while practicing and TTP’s wide array of practice questions for every topic and section suited my needs. The monthly subscription structure aligned well with my financial needs and it helped me complete my full GMAT Focus journey in less than 2 months! I am glad I chose TTP!
Strengths:
Enormous bank of relevant exercises
Quality content
Tips and tricks that you find nowhere else

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.
