Strengths:
The theoretical material is very thorough and well-structured;
Many questions to practice;
Topic-wise approach: first they teach you the theoretical material, then they teach you to apply it;
Friendly team.
Would make the product better:
Just one thing: while I was preparing, the course was updated a couple of times (new quant material was added), but the new topics were not reflected in the GMAT equation guide (the TTP's pdf summary for quant)
I used exclusively TTP for my preparation; I also bought the OG, but did their problems only after completing the TTP course and did not even finish the question bank.
I am not a fan of blindly solving tons of problems - this simply does not work for me. So for my preparation, I was looking for a course which would, most importantly, teach me all the necessary theoretical material. With TTP and their topic-based approach it was a perfect match.
TTP offers you thorough, comprehensive and well-structured contents. Moreover, you do not have to worry about systemizing the preparation on your own - TTP took care of it, so you can completely focus on studying the topics and practicing the problems.
Moreover, I liked the strategies and tips that TTP teaches you: from prioritizing accuracy (not speed!) to not giving up on problems until you find the solution yourself.
I would like to specifically thank the TTP for my quant score improvement: it went from 61 to 86, which is huge for me, a person who is not naturally good at quant stuff.
Overall: totally recommended!
Strengths:
Has all the information and practice questions you need to be successful. The error tracker and bookmarking tools are extremely helpful, allowing you to see exactly what areas you need to focus more attention on.
Would make the product better:
1 - allow copy and pasting, sometimes it is nice to look up an alternative explanation to a problem
2 - most problems have video explanations, ideally all of them would
I surpassed by score goal, and only used TTP and practice tests as my study material. It has everything you need to be successful, and allows you to work at your pace. My first GMAT score was a 560 (a few years ago), I then improved to a 710, and through TTP was able to score a 715 and 88 quant on the GMAT focus after just 6 weeks on the course.
This far surpasses using question banks / just the standard practice problems to study. The explanations are great, the order of lessons is logical for building up your total knowledge, and the error tracker / book marking tool allow you to see clearly where you need to spend more attention.
I cannot recommend this tool enough, it was a great decision for me.
Strengths:
Comprehensive, personalized, practical.
Very well thought out, TTP's course essentially helped me comprehend questions differently. I love how they have an option to customize difficulty based off target score, cheat sheets, practice questions in every module to test and solidify concepts and many tips and tricks throughout the course like taking notes and practicing untimed to improve accuracy, which really helped my score get to where it is today. The flexibility of the course stood out for me as well, I could pace it as I wished, and with a busy work schedule, this is exactly what I needed. I strongly recommend this program for anyone struggling with the new GMAT format.

Strengths:
Lots of practice problems to drill on. Great in-depth guides on how to solve problems. Also, the course builds on itself in a very natural way. They take themselves seriously -- the course is comprehensive and a ton of work if you're looking for a high score, but it pays off.
Would make the product better:
It would be nice to have the option to "freeze" the plan, because you pay for a certain amount of time to have access to the material. I ended up doing my studying all in the few months leading up to the test, because I wanted to minimize the cost, but I could have
Target Test Prep (TTP) is the perfect prep course to prepare for the GMAT. The course builds on itself in a very natural way. It takes itself seriously -- the course is comprehensive and a ton of work if you're looking for a high score, but it pays off. It's got tons of great practice problems, detailed solutions, and video walkthroughs. Even more valuable, the course itself teaches you everything you need to know--including what kinds of questions show up on test day and strategies for quickly solving problems--which proved vital on test day since on the GMAT, speed is crucial. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to score 95th percentile or above.
Strengths:
The flexibility that the program offers is great. The lessons are well thought out and well structured and the number of questions that you get exposure to, through the chapter tests, lesson tests and dedicated reviews is great.
The flexibility that the program offers is great. The ability to work on and choose your own schedule was a big selling point of the program. It meant that I could take up more on the days that I had the time and energy to do so, while also being able to take up less on the days that wer a little hectic and I could not put in as much effort as I would have liked to. The lessons are well thought out and well structured and the number of questions that you get exposure to, through the chapter tests, lesson tests and dedicated reviews is great. The number of questions one gets exposure to encourages you to find alternative approaches to questions which is quite helpful for the more difficult questions on the GMAT.
Strengths:

Communication
It's outrageous that got told off several times (by both ph and chat) for asking too many questions. Isn't this what we students are paying for to learn and to improve but nope as a course provider they don't want to hear from you nor they want to improve their course materials so students can understand easily.
When you post in forum that your gmat not improved but the score dropped, they will pretend trying to help but then no reply when contacted them. Stay away if you are a students who like to ask questions to understand concepts properly. My score dropped terribly after study with them.

Strengths:
-Fantastic UI/UX
-Depth of practice questions and explanations is unmatched
-The team is responsive, supportive, and agile
-The course itself is beyond deep, almost too much information to absorb
-Customizable tests help to practice specific topics
Would make the product better:
-If anything, the analytics could be a bit more pointed in telling you what you need to review and creating custom tests around that
TTP is as good as it gets, just like everyone else here has said. I think what I appreciate most about the course is the team. As you can see, the team is all over the forums supporting their subscribers and others alike. They are go-getters who want to provide an A+ experience and they do so. The material is deep enough where it would take a full 3 months to review everything, so you may need to be strategic on a limited timeline. The custom practice tests are a great way to find your strengths and weaknesses and continue to refine them
Strengths:
I think the level of detail TTP offers is its biggest strength, it helps you to really understand each topic to the point you start seeing more efficient ways to solve questions.
Would make the product better:
The only thing I would improve on the course would be to have more practice questions for the Data Insights Integrated Reasoning type questions. Indeed, you get a lot of practice for these questions. However, compared with the amount of practice questions for Quant and Verbal, Data Insights Integrated Reasoning type questions lacks behind.
TTP is really an amazing platform that certainly helped me to score 715 (Q88, V85, DI83) in the GMAT Focus Edition. What I loved most about the course was the level of detail of each lesson, the Study Plan design and the Error Tracker. I feel the course is designed specifically to make you an expert in every topic, because it really makes you practice until you can answer each question with multiple strategies.
The only advice I would give someone that would like to purchase this course is to give yourself enough time to master each topic. It took me about 6 months to complete the course with a full-time job, which I know is a lot of time. There were days where I felt impatient or felt I was not advancing at the pace I wanted. However, I followed the TTP Study Plan as closely as I could, and I would advise all people to do the same. Trust the process. If you give you enough time to read, understand and master each topic, you will certainly achieve your dream score.

Strengths:
Structured syllabus: TTP Flexible Prep Course helped tremendously in structuring my study with their comprehensive and highly up-to-date syllabus. I lacked such a structure in my first 2 attempts at the classic GMAT, which resulted in sub-optimal results.
Abundance of practice tests & reviews: the repeated practice tests, divided by difficulty levels, really helped me dial in the skills needed to efficiently and accurately answer questions across all topics tested in the GMAT.
On-target practices: these on-target practice tests, strategically placed towards the end of the course in practice exam section, really helped me zoom in to topics and specific question types that I am the weakest at and to practice them again and again until I have mastered them. The practices helped me navigate these questions much more quickly during the actual exams.
Would make the product better:
One recommendation I have is that all of the dedicated review tests are quant-focused. I would have loved to see more dedicated review tests for verbal & data insights.
Overall, I attributed most of my score improvement from my previous attempts to this attempt to TTP Flexible Prep Course. Some of the features and strategies recommended that were the most helpful to me:
+ Study plan featuring comprehensive syllabus of topics and question types that GMAT asks
+ Active review worksheet: complement the course syllabus closely. I would advise all students to actively take notes to absorb the contents from the study notes better. This really helped me memorize the knowledge almost instantly and become a quick source for reference as I was doing my practice tests.
+ lots and lots of practice questions and tests: nothing is more effective in upskilling than practice, practice, practice. and this course provides an abundance of practice tests, dedicated reviews, on-target practices (where based on your performance in practice tests & study notes, TTP picked specific questions for you to practice in a dedicated on-target practice test)
As someone who is inherently skeptical about paid test preparatory courses and attempted to take the GMAT twice just from studying on my own, TTP Prep Course really debunked my skepticism. It was, no doubt, my most worthwhile and rewarding investment in boosting my GMAT score. Highly recommended for anyone who just started looking at GMAT or who struggled to break through to achieve a score you desire.

Can't think of anything
I absolutely loved my experience with Target Test Prep for GMAT Focus! The curriculum is incredibly comprehensive, covering every aspect of the exam in great detail. What impressed me most was the adaptive learning platform - it felt like having a personal tutor who knew exactly what I needed to work on.
The question bank is massive, and I never ran out of practice material. Each question comes with a thorough explanation, which really helped me understand the underlying concepts. I also found the analytics incredibly useful. Being able to track my progress in real-time kept me motivated and helped me focus my efforts where they were most needed.
The flexible study plans were a lifesaver for me. I could easily adjust my schedule to fit my preparation around work and other commitments. Overall, I felt that TTP gave me a structured, efficient path to improve my GMAT Focus score. It's an investment in your future that I found well worth it.
