Absolute MUST if you, like me, are not great at standardized math testing. My first practice test I scored a 43 I believe, and it required iterations of fundamentals. TTP delivers by providing a schedule and forcing you to master certain concepts before moving into the next. I know too many who jump around in the OG book convinced that they understand the material, only to have learned about that specific question type rather than the fundamentals. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to score in the 47- 51 range for math. Very good value for the content it provides, especially the weekly webinars.

Target Test Prep - Worth It

Target Test Prep has a great structured comprehensive self-guided study program. The lessons and interface are great and make the user experience pleasant. Expect to spend ~3 solid months on TTP if you're doing a comprehensive review. I was consistently scoring 720-750 in the practice test phase. TTP helped me break 700+ on the official exam.

Quant
TTP is the way to go here for sure. Early on I naively thought I could handle quant because it's all high school math, right? I soon realized GMAT quant is a different beast. Being good at math can help you pick things up quicker, but it won't be a breeze until you become familiar with GMAT questions. TTP dives into each topic and has lesson questions and chapter tests to reinforce the skills. I think most people will consistently score Q47+ after going through TTP.

Verbal
While TTP is still in beta and tests aren't fully built out yet, it's still very good. Like other programs, TTP concisely explains why each answer choice is wrong and why the correct answer is correct. TTP CR demonstrates and categorizes what typical correct and incorrect choices and trap answers look like. Learning how to identify and categorize answer choices helped me save time by teaching me how to quickly recognize and knock out incorrect/trap choices while at the same time perform logical reasoning to narrow down the final choices. I supplemented with OG verbal questions. Once TTP verbal is complete, I think TTP will hands down be the best comprehensive GMAT program.

TTP is by far the most comprehensive, most rigorous course there is.

I started using TTP in 2018 after trialing and failing with so many other resources.

No matter where you are in your Prep, I highly encourage you to go with TTP and stick with it.

Don't cut corners. Do the Course. Put in work and see the GMAT returns.

TTP works so well because it is built on the premise of active review techniques - questions and flash cards - and spaced repetition.

TTP's in-built analytics platform also helps you identify, using tags, very specific question types that you need to improve. This really eliminates the need for an error log and completely enhances your accuracy to pinpoint key development areas that you need to fine tune before taking tests.

TTP - Worth the Hype

Course Target Test Prep Maximum Learning

When I first started studying for the GMAT, I noticed a slew of comments say that TTP was far and away the best program to prepare you for the Quant portion of the GMAT. After having completed the program and taken the GMAT, I can say it is worth the hype.

TTP's comprehensive and meticulous study plan takes you through every area of studying for the exam, so that you can feel confident that you will get the score you need to come test day. The amount I learned through the program in such a short amount of time is pretty incredible now that I look back on it. The number of chapters and amount you need to learn to complete the course may be daunting at first, but it is on purpose and to ensure that you know the topics in and out, not just shortcuts that may or may not help come test day.

As far as verbal goes, TTP is just starting to roll out the verbal program, but it looks to have the same quality you expect from the Quant course. Truly really pleased and happy with my choice to study with Target Test Prep and know that it helped me reach my goal of a 700+ GMAT score!

I went through a Manhattan Prep in-person course before trying TTP, but I didn’t feel like I was consistently excelling in quant. TTP finally took me out of my plateau. TTP helped me drill the key concepts that are critical to executing on the GMAT under the tight time constraints needed. TTP’s process may seem time-intensive and tedious, but it’s all worth it. My mental math improved and the repetition of the course helped me learn how to identify the shortcuts of the exam. While going through each chapter and the exams at the end of each, you’ll see the improvement. There’s no cheating the system! Try out TTP if you want a great quant score (49+) and are willing to put the time in.

My score was around to 36. But I decided that I need to boost my score. After experiencing many GMAT providers, I decided to give TTP a try. I had a long discussion with Jeff and then I registered 5 days for $1 to know more about the course. I went through the whole sections. I discovered that TTP is the right choice for my study math and best fit for my education style. I achieved in many exams 43-44 but the last exam score was hit by family issues right before the exam which made it 42.
Pros:
1- I started to choose what my target score is. Based on it, the system suggests what modules I must focus.
2- The modules could be arranged in Tree plan that built my skills gradually.
3- Each module is divided to sub-topic. This is important to me to learn each idea behind the big topic. In the exam I faced problems that were new for me but it was a weakness.
4- Exams related to each topic were organized in easy-medium- difficult setup. It helped me to build confidence. There are extra problems in each topic to cover my weakness, in case needed.
5- The analytics is easy to follow and could provide flag, if performance deteriorates.
6- The chat panel provides immediate support so that I can’t wait for reply. Jeff and Scott are doing a great job to answer the questions. If something needs more discussion, I can email them and get the answer almost in same day.

Cons:
1- The test questions need to be numbered as It will help to trace it in combination with my test log.
2- I would like to see verbal section to have one platform.
3- To see more tricks for solving math problems.

Is the 530 self reported score your score on the gmat? Why would you give 5 stars if you only got a 42 in math since that is not a high math score? You said your score was 43-44 but then you scored 42 so that's a DECREASE!!! That number of stars makes no sense.

I was not clear. I achieved those scores from 36 to 43-44 but I deleted the scores. In my last score, I had sever family that hit me before the exam which made me score plummet. I will edit the review to make clear.

I had tried other courses to improve quant but was not able to get past mid 40's for my score. I tried the trial for TTP and could instantly tell that it was the best quant resource available. The content is presented in a logical and simple order, allowing me to perfect my skills. There are modules for every type of question you come across on the GMAT and there are periodic review tests to ensure that you are retaining the information. Not only did TTP get my score up to Q50, but it is also a very reasonable price. I spent less on TTP than the other resources and wish I had started off my studying with TTP.

When it comes to learning the fundamentals of quant and learning how to apply them on the test, this course does an excellent job. Between the lessons, practice problems, and quizzes, you end up committing the basic rules to memory and learning how they apply on the test. Additional resources that are included, such as sheets containing all the formulas,and downloadable templates for taking notes, enhance the experience and make it easier on the user. The company also offers great customer support and answers all questions in a timely manner. One of the best resources out there for quant.

With an initial GMAT score of 640, I knew I had a ton of room for quant improvement. The problem was I had no idea how I'd get there. I'll always be thankful that I found Target Test Prep! I started at square 1 and grinded my way through the entire course, following the program's interactive step-by-step guidance and completing every single review and practice quiz. After 4 tough months, I scored a 740 with a Q49, enabling me to apply to all of my dream schools. Thanks again to Scott, Jeff, and the rest of the TTP team. I wouldn't be here without you!

I was having a hard time to improve my quant skills throughout my prep. Before finding TTP, I had tried basically everything from other prep courses to Khan Academy to half the threads on this forum.
However, I had significant problems to score above 40 points consistently.
I reached out to Scott from TTP on this forum and we setup a call, he was very honest and told me that it would be hard work but that my goal of a Q47+ would be possible.

TTP has a great interface with very helpful analytics to back up your learning. I have to warn all those who think this is a quick fix however. The program is quite lengthy and exhaustive as it covers all necessary topics, but that also means it is not something that one can finish in 4-6 weeks.

All in all I was very happy with TTP and I managed to improve my quant score from high 30´s to a Q47 on test day.
I can fully recommend this course to everyone who struggles in Quant.

Cheers,
Chris
