As a full-time professional struggling to find consistent study time, TTP was a game-changer for my GMAT prep. Traditional prep books felt disorganized and I made little progress until a friend recommended TTP. The custom study plans, detailed question explanations, and structured daily tasks kept me motivated and accountable.
I especially appreciated the tailored approach for my strengths and weaknesses in various quantitative topics. The verbal section explanations helped me genuinely understand and analyze questions rather than guessing. The 24/7 chat support was a lifesaver, and they even extended my subscription free when it was about to expire before my test.
On test day, despite some anxiety and slower pacing, I was confident and accurate, which reflected in my score. Overall, TTP provided excellent structure, support, and materials to elevate my skills to pro level — highly recommended for busy test-takers seeking accountability and effective study tools.
After being referred to TTP by countless friends, I opted into the maximum learning program to begin my GMAT journey. The program gave me a full 6 months of access to the site. With an unpredictable work schedule, this was exactly what I needed.
The actual TTP program is amazing. They really go in depth into each topic and then give you a ton of multiple choice to practice to cement it into your brain. I think the best part were the tests that were set up after every couple of chapters to make sure that you are not forgetting the things you learn along the way. I found that having those check ins made sure I was not forgetting the things I had looked at over a month ago. By the time I finished the program, I hardly felt the need for comprehensive review because the program was designed to continually build upon what I had already learned.
10/10 program and could not have done it without them, make sure to use TTP if you are going to take the GMAT!
Strengths:
Really thoughtful about all the chapters and a quick response chat that really helps.
Would make the product better:
A little more questions for DI.
Hello everyone, I’d like to share a bit about my GMAT journey and how I improved my score by 180 points — from 495 on my diagnostic test to 675 on my official exam.
In December of last year, I decided to apply for an MBA at some of the top business schools, and I knew that a strong GMAT score would be essential. I enrolled in the TTP course and began my preparation. As recommended by the TTP team, I took a diagnostic test at the start — I scored 495. That’s when I realized I had several knowledge gaps across all the areas tested on the GMAT.
One of the first things that stood out about TTP was how comprehensive the program is. They truly cover 100% of the GMAT content, and each chapter includes a large number of practice questions to help reinforce your understanding. For five months, I followed the study plan rigorously, and anytime I had a doubt, the support team was incredibly responsive and helpful.
After completing 100% of the course and feeling confident in my progress, I decided to take the GMAT — and scored a 675 on my first attempt. That’s a 180-point improvement and places me in the 95th percentile. This score opens the doors to the schools I’ve always dreamed of applying to.

Strengths:
Self-pacing, thoroughness of included curriculum.
Would make the product better:
It was not immediately apparent that the 'easy', 'medium' and 'hard' tests in each chapter often contained different types of problems; to make sure you've practiced each type of problem from each section you need to take 1-2 tests from each difficulty level. This is not necessarily an issue with the structure of the course, but would have been nice to understand up front.
I found Target Test Prep to be the best option for my learning style and prep situation. I had ~4 months to prepare for and take the test before needing to shift my timing priorities, and due to the nature of my work, I couldn't commit to a live class. TTP's self-paced structure was perfect for me as I could knock out modules when I had the time or spend more time on sections with which I was having more difficulty. The way the course is structured ensures you touch on every concept that could be presented on the test in a variety of ways, and intermittent review quizzes are built in to make sure previously learned concepts stay fresh in your mind. I naturally struggled most with the quant section of the GMAT focus, and the TTP system drastically improved my abilities in that section - the way concepts are taught and layered sequentially makes complex problems easy to digest and tackle. Overall, I would highly recommend TTP to anyone who works well in a self-paced environment.
Strengths:
1. TTP’s curriculum is organized and comprehensive.
The curriculum gradually builds up by breaking down each lesson into multiple Must-Know points. As I accumulated each Must-Know point, I could connect the dots and build a stronger, long-lasting foundation across Quant, Verbal, and DI. This is a lot better than just throwing yourself into a collection of different concepts and trying to figure out what are the key building blocks.
2. TTP’s questions and exercises are effective.
TTP offers over 1,000 practice questions. Moreover, each pertinent question does follow each sub-unit; there are also question sets associated with each chapter categorized by levels of difficulty. This ensures that every Must-Know concept you learn is put into practice.
3. TTP is more than just a curriculum.
Among the many features in TTP, I found the scheduling system, daily quotes, and AI assistance extremely beneficial. Having to schedule my preparation myself always discouraged me from studying for the GMAT. Thanks to this feature, I could finally focus on studying for the GMAT while managing other priorities. Furthermore, there were times I felt less motivated to study, but the daily quotes always came at the right time to encourage me to push through. Finally, for the AI assistance, this is a relatively new feature I tried during my latter phase of preparation. Nonetheless, it is really helpful as I can have my inquiries addressed in an instant.
Would make the product better:
I initially thought that the admin is a little bit less responsive, which could possibly be due to the discrepancy in our time zone. However, with the AI assistance feature, I believe this issue has been resolved.
If you are looking for a GMAT prep course, I highly recommend you try TTP’s free trial. TTP is an extremely effective prep course with a well-structured and comprehensive curriculum. On top of that, the course is user-friendly and highly supportive. It offers a personalized study plan, an extensive question bank, and an AI assistance to help with any doubts. The daily motivational quotes also keep you encouraged throughout your preparation. As long as you are consistent with your studies, I believe your GMAT journey should be smooth as silk with the TTP course, giving you the confidence to excel.
Strengths:
Thorough Quant review, concept by concept prep and reinforced learnings with plenty of quizzes, reviews, and cumulative practice questions.
I began my GMAT prep journey knowing my softest section was going to be Quant. I chose Target Test Prep specifically because they provide a holistic prep approach but also are renown for their Quant thoroughness. This was proven to be true; meticulous lessons that drill down concepts and reinforce them over time were the perfect resource to improve my scores significantly.
I liked the ability to focus on individual concepts (statistics, probability, work, general word problems, etc). This allowed me to focus my time and energy on the specific topics that I needed to improve, rather than take a broad approach that tackled too much at once.
Strengths:
- Most comprehensive platform that guarantees big score improvement
- Easy-to-follow curriculum that goes in-depth on all the key topics

I first started my prep with TTP in the summer of 2024 and took a cold mock test. While I scored well on Verbal, my Quant score was lacking. After reading through a lot of different reviews on multiple platforms, I decided to try TTP, and could not have asked for a better experience. While the course is intensive and requires a significant time commitment, the results are well worth the effort. TTP’s structured approach ensures a deep understanding of concepts, with clear lessons and targeted quizzes that reinforce learning. The emphasis on fundamentals and consistent practice transformed my weakest area into my strongest, and Quant ended up being my highest score on test day. The TTP chat function was also really helpful as their team went above and beyond to solve any technical issues or any questions I had.
Strengths:
All-encompassing course, just have to follow it step by step, without thinking here and there. Final scores resemble the performance you get here. My quant remained strong, my Di remained decent and my verbal remained weak on my main exam attempts, mirroring my prep from TTP
Would make the product better:
Verbal has multiple questions that have a questionable solution key. But no place to provide feedback. A feedback platform will be highly appreciated.
I enjoyed my journey with TTP, got a 665 in first attempt and 675 in second attempt. My scoring could have been higher as I was getting 695-715 in official mocks but I found the main exam verbal set to be tougher than official mocks. However TTP mirrored my exam performance. It is an All-encompassing course, just have to follow it step by step, without thinking here and there. Final scores resemble the performance you get here. My quant remained strong, my Di remained decent and my verbal remained weak on my main exam attempts, mirroring my prep from TTP. Good job!

Verified GMAT Focus score:

Strengths:
Well worded and complete explanations of quant and verbal concepts to help build up the fundamentals.
Would make the product better:
Some of the wording in GMAT focus mocks and the actual GMAT were different to what TTP had used which mean the first couple of mocks I took shook me a little bit. This can easily be supplemented with GMAT club questions from other sources as the TTP lessons should give you a great base to work from.
TTP is long no doubt, it took me around 400 hours to complete the program. However, I took my time, doing many of the practice tests multiple times to really nail the skills. It is a time committment, but it was instrumental in building up my quantitative ability as this was an area I needed the most improvement. I see a lot of people saying you should be okay to do the GMAT in 1-2 months of study, but it is so individual. If that is your expectation, I wouldn't recommend TTP, but if you want to commit to giving it your best shot over a 6 month period, then they are a good option. Great support on social media from the team too, going the extra mile.
TTP helped me go from 555 in an unprepared prep exam to an 735 in my real exam in just 2.5 months. I could increase my score in every part of the exam, especially quant, where I started with 9th percentile and ended up with 94th percentile. The reason for this was TTP and their incredible programm. They help you navigate the insane amount of information and possibilities considering GMAT preparation, making sure you can focus only on the topics needed. The program itsself is super easy to handle and GMAT prep was even fun, as you challenge yourself to finish chapters and missions in certain amounts of time. Every relevant topic for the GMAT will be explained in a way that everyone will understand it and all the basics are covered, so you dont have to be afraid if certain concepts aren't so clear in your head anymore. Due to time pressure I could only finish the quant part, but that only shows how much content and lessons you get if you buy this program. There's a lot of other good things I could mention like the fact you are tested on concepts you learned some time ago on a regular basis, sparing you the moment before the exam when you finished all topics and then realize you forgot everything you learned at the beginning. Or the dact that there are explanation videos for a huge amount of questions, where Scott and Jeff explain the solutions to practice questions in an comprehensive way. If I had the choice I would do it all again, maybe taking more time to finish the whole program, but I didnt regret my investment at any point in time.
Thanks to Scott, Jeff and the rest of the TTP team - without you this score wouldnt have been possible.
