TTP was my one stop shop for all things GMAT. My first score on a practice test was a 460 and with 6 months of TTP I was able to improve to a 730! Highly recommend! TTP's structure lessons and quizzes provide an easy way for you to structure your studying and cover all your bases all things quant. Additionally they track your progress and weak topics so that you can easily identify and improve those areas. Their verbal section was released about 3 months into my studying and i was able to study both quant and verbal in one place. The verbal section helped me significantly improve in CR and SC which were areas i had struggled with the most on my initial practice test

I took the GMAT for the first time after doing a live online course and scored 680. As an engineer I thought I could do a lot better on Quant, so I did some focused studying for a month and got the exact same score (Q42).

At the suggestion of a co-worker, I decided to try out Target Test Prep and diligently worked through each of the chapters. It absolutely helped me rebase my Quant skills. As an engineer I was skipping a lot of the basics and falling for trap answers or rushing through problems I thought were simple. After TTP, I had a rock solid Quant foundation. I sat for the GMAT a 3rd and final time and scored a 740! Increasing my score from Q42 to Q49!

As someone who hasn't taken algebra or geometry since high school, TTP was a hugely helpful course. I selected the 6-month subscription and chose Expert (46-48) level. The platform itself is very intuitive from a user perspective and in particular, the tools that TTP offers -- Error Tracker, Analytics, and Custom Tests --were of great help to me. They allow you to really focus on your weaker areas prior to test day. Additionally, if you are someone who travels often or studies in different places, having an online course is far more convenient than carrying GMAT books around with you. TTP tracks which questions you get wrong so that you don't have to, which is also a huge benefit when compared with GMAT textbooks.

As I'm sure others have mentioned, this is an extensive course. It took me roughly 3 months to finish it while employed full time, but for most GMAT test takers you get out what you put in. I completed over 2,000 unique quant questions before test day. I did not take any tests prior to taking the course so I don't have a great comparison benchmark but I only got 38% of questions right on my TTP diagnostic before taking the course and afterward scored 80% consistently. I did not use the course extensively for Verbal so I can't speak as much to those resources.

I started with Magoosh and did not take my studying as seriously as I should've. I got a 640 and only a Q40. I knew that I was capable of a much higher quant score but I needed some serious structure. TTP is the only way I feel that I could've gotten the boost I needed in quant. The structured lessons, the concepts drilled over and over, the built-in review quizzes, and the analytics of your mistakes are all what set this apart from other products. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone where math doesn't come as easily. You have to do all the reps but if you do, it pays enormous dividends.

660 to 700 in 29 days

Target Test Prep is by far the best resource I encountered for building up GMAT test skills and knowledge from the ground up. I first began preparing for the GMAT by checking out some Kaplan guide books from prior years from my local library. After slogging my way through some practice problems without increasing my accuracy I switched to using the Manhattan GMAT app on my cell phone. Again I was lacking the rudimentary knowledge in how I was supposed to attack GMAT problems.

I made the decision to reset and purchased the TTP Maximum Learning subscription in January. I ended up having to renew for two additional months using the Flexible month to month plan, just because being busy working a full time job I hadn't been able to complete the course.

I scored a 660 on my first official GMAT only being about 30% done with the TTP course. I scheduled another attempt a month out and redoubled my efforts to finish the course. I was able to do so and scored a 700 just 29 days later.

What I enjoyed most about Target Test Prep was how it made studying so easy. If you go through every module thoroughly, you will be prepared for the test. So once you have your test day set, you can easily identify how much you need to get through each day.

The quant section covers every topic I was tested on and more, and helps you develop a deep understanding of the questions, as well as tips and tricks for each question type, which both help immensely with time management. The verbal section was also very helpful, even though it is still in beta. Once more practice questions are added for SC, it will be the complete package.

Increasing my GMAT score by 100 points over the course of 8 months was not easy, but working with TTP made the quant section feel like a breeze. The pre-beta verbal module really helped me internalize each and every question. Slowing down and building accuracy before speed paid major dividends for me. The hard questions in the verbal platform are also more difficult than the actual exam, so the actual exam felt very easy(I am almost positive I made some careless mistakes in the verbal section, as I was speeding through and had so much time left). The explanations on these questions are so thorough that I am not surprised my verbal score went up by 6 points! This platform is truly your one-stop GMAT prep resource, even with the verbal only in the pre-beta version!

Obviously there are different methods of learning and everyone has their preferences - but TTP is legit and I would recommend it to anyone that's serious about GMAT prep. I went from a 630 to a 740, in large part due to TTP.

The program very clearly breaks down all the content you need to know into bite-sized modules, with plenty of questions along the way to ensure grasp of the material. Each section also has a series of easy, medium, and hard timed quizzes that are crucial for "game speed" practice. Recently, TTP has introduced beta Verbal sections, which are equally as good as the Quant sections in my opinion.

I think it's important to also note that TTP offers these services at a reasonable cost compared to what other programs offer.

TLDR: I strongly recommend TTP to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score and can speak to the effectiveness of the program first-hand. At the end of the day, it takes a lot of time and hard work to improve your score, but TTP equips you with all the resources you'll need to crush the GMAT. Thanks to Scott and team for their service!

After looking at all the positive reviews Target Test Prep, I decided to sign up for the trial version. Since I had only about three weeks for my GMAT exam I decided to focus on Quant and TTP was the best way to do it so I subscribed to TTP. I was very impressed with the course layout, the detailed chapter topics, and the chapter tests. Doing different chapter tests I was able to find my weaknesses and work on improving them. I really liked the break down of each topic which enabled me to focus on areas I was struggling with. I practiced Quant questions only from TTP and did OG questions. After three weeks of intensive studying I gave my GMAT and improved my Quant score from 45 to 49 :)
I am continuing my GMAT prep with TTP and absolutely recommend it to other test takers!

When I first started GMAT prep I was recommended TTP but did not focus the amount of time that they ask for. I still managed to get a 44 in Quant without taking full advantage of TTP. However, I have plateau since no longer using TTP and I have tried everything else - personal tutor and Manhattan Prep. Ultimately, I decided to come back to TTP because their method WORKS! Everyone I know who has used TTP has seen an increase in their Quant score. If you are serious about your GMAT score - look no further. They also recently released their Verbal section so if it's as good as their Quant (which I can imagine it is), you will be GMAT ready in no time!
