Only Tool Needed for Quant, Provides Great Foundation for Verbal

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement 100 Points

Course Target Test Prep Maximum Learning

Strengths:

- Quant: Covers everything you need for at least a Q50 in Quant. The lesson to practice test pacing is great. I did not feel unprepared for any conventional quant question on the test.

- Verbal: Provides a great foundation for all three verbal subsections. The way to approach RC and CR questions is drilled into you repeatedly. I saw an immediate improvement in both question categories.

- Overall: Provides great analytics to highlight weak areas. The material is dense with over 2000 practice questions. No other prep material is as detailed in its lessons and as extensive in the practice questions offered.

Would make the product better:

- Quant: Absolutely gives a great foundation for a Q50 score. Q51 involves much more out-of-the-box questions. Providing a set of extra challenge problems focused on people trying to make the jump to Q51 would be fantastic.
- Verbal: While the material for Sentence Correction was great, I felt the practice questions given were much much harder than anything on the actual test. It's hard to gauge how proficient I truly was while working through this section.

Spending 15+ hours per week, it took me over 3 months to work through all of the material and practice questions. For a typical user, this material will most likely take you 4+ months to complete.

The platform provides a structured approach to GMAT preparation. TTP offers the best Quant prep compared to any other test prep provider. While I had a strong math skillset to begin with, TTP helped me lock in a Q51 on 2/3 of the official tests I took. I'm convinced that anyone with some aptitude for math can score a Q50 through TTP alone if they put the work in. For Verbal, I felt TTP excelled at setting the correct mindset and approach for CR and RC. I believe SC is TTP's weakest aspect of the platform. TTP goes through all the core topics well for SC. However, there are not a lot of practice questions for SC and the practice questions that are given tend to be much harder than those seen on the actual test. While this can be ok for some, as someone who was weaker in SC, I felt that I had to complement my TTP learnings with questions from GMATClub and other question banks. I did not feel this same need for any other Quant or Verbal sub-section.

Despite the above, TTP is the first platform I recommend to anyone starting to study for the GMAT. It simply has everything. Post TTP, I got a Q51 on 2/3 actual tests. I got a perfect CR on one test and a perfect RC on another. I feel that these achievements are predominantly due to my learnings from TTP. While TTP helped me develop my SC skills, I needed other materials to help get me to a 98th percentile score for SC. I encourage others to do the same. TTP should serve as the foundational test prep on someone's GMAT journey, with other supplemental materials added when needed.

Structured Plan to Achieve Your Goal

Strengths:

The ability to track the time spent per week and month in the program as well as easily see progress towards completing the entire study plan. TTP created a very easily to follow study plan to achieve your score goals.

Would make the product better:

No complaints.

TTP was a great ROI and allowed me to achieve my score goal. Prior to any prep, I took an official practice test and scored a 500. After completing TTP, I took the GMAT and scored a 720.

The ability to track the time spent per week and month in the program as well as easily see progress towards completing the entire study plan. TTP created a very easily to follow study plan to achieve your score goals.

I'd suggest to those taking the test to start with their weaker section (or section with the most score variability) on the official test, so they will be fresh for their more challenging section.

TTP structured test plan enabled me to go from 620 to 750

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement 130 Points

Course Target Test Prep Maximum Learning

Location Online

Strengths:

TTP is strong in covering all areas of the exam. Most reviews here will say they are best at Quant, and I agree with that claim. In addition, their Reading Comprehension lessons helped me view the section in a new way and overcome a pattern of common mistakes.

Would make the product better:

I have very few points of feedback because the most important elements of the program, the content of the lessons, and the practice problem sets are great. TTP could improve the % complete tracker, which indicates how much of the program you have completed. For some reason there were two different numbers and they were always slightly different, so I wasn't sure which was accurate at a given time.

TTP gave me the fundamental building blocks to approach the test differently and more efficiently than I had before I started with TTP. Before starting with TPP, I would just do random problems sets and problems from the GMAT book. At the time, I didn't understand how much I had to un-learn and re-learn in order to approach problems from a new, improved perspective.

TTP offers countless problem sets that are very high quality and prepared me well for the test. While I can only claim this from my own perspective, I feel like a good portion of the TTP 'Medium' questions were actually borderline 'Hard' by GMAT standards. Because of this, I felt comfortable and capable when difficulty would start to increase on true practice tests. (I don't claim this to be the case! Just an anecdotal pattern I picked up on).

If you are considering the 6-month, Maximum learning option, be prepared to commit yourself to the GMAT process for the long-term. I needed this option as someone who had plateaued in studying on my own and as someone who has testing anxiety. TPP is ultimately what you make of it, but it offers the ideal framework to succeed.

Strengths:

-Extremely thorough and comprehensive
-Structured study plan
-More than enough practice problems to develop skills in each topic that is tested by the GMAT

Would make the product better:

I don't have many comments in terms of improvement. The only thing I would say is that the problems you will actually see from the official problem sets will be slightly different and will require a bit of a mental gear shift. The TTP problems are not so different that they won't teach you anything, but please keep this in midn.

This program is extremely comprehensive and will take you 95% of the distance to getting an extremely high score. I would not have scored nearly as high without the structure that this program provided. Being able to reach out to tutors to answer individual questions was also a great option that I used often. It took me around 4 months to get through the entirety of the course. It was definitely a grind but worth the effort. After I completed the course, I took my first practice exam and scored a 690. To be fair, by the time I finished the course, there was quite a bit I didn't remember from the beginning (for the Verbal section specifically). I then switched gears to practicing only OG practice problems to figure out where my weaknesses were and then would return to TTP to review my weaker subjects. After lots of practice problems I was feeling comfortable with problems at the highest level of difficulty. TTP is a fantastic program and I cannot recommend it enough.

Strengths:

- Personalized study plan tailored to your personal needs, time availability, and goals
- Content is extremely extensive and comprehensive
- Explanations are offered in writting - many are also offered in video format
- Thousands of practice questions for Quant section
- Verbal section is very clear and detailed

Would make the product better:

- Would include video explanations in the theory sections of the study plan for both Quant and Verbal
- Would include more practice questions to the Verbal section

TTP is a wonderful product that helped me achieve a 700+ score over the course of 3 months. The study plan offered by TTP is extremely comprehensive and covers all the contents with great detail - both Quant and Verbal. It really helped me acquire the core skills that are required to succeed in the GMAT. Overall, it was incredibly useful to get a profound understanding of all the different topics tested in the GMAT prior to practicing with Official GMAT exams. TTP allows you to select the type of study plan that best suits your needs and, if you are willing to put in the time and hard work, I can guarantee you will achieve your target score.

TTP offers the most comprehensive GMAT Study Prep material. I also bought E-Gmat course but TTP Verbal course was much better and helped me understand many concepts in depth and it provides advanced and basic questions for each topic in the verbal section. Also Marty is a great tutor for the verbal section whose tutoring videos are available on youtube. TTP simplifies advanced concepts and helps you improve speed, accuracy and provides simple and efficient strategies for the verbal section. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to improve their verbal score to choose target test prep. Although I scored a V32 , I would have scored better if I had more time with TTP material but I was satisfied with my overall score due to Q50 which helped me get into MS CS.

Strengths:

Truly exhaustive, includes all the information and solidifies it along the way

Would make the product better:

Include mission tests with verbal lessons as well

I took the GMAT raw thinking I could beat the test and was severely mistaken. I knew a 640 wouldn't get me to where I wanted to go, so I did some research and purchased one of target test prep's packages. After studying for 4 months to complete the course, I took the GMAT again and scored a 750. A 110 point jump. Couldn't have done it on my own. They truly check every box to make sure you know the information and how to apply it. They made it almost impossible for the test to trick me come test day. If you're serious about getting the score you want, I would recommend target test prep.

Strengths:

Very complete.
A schedule is made to achieve your goals.

I recommend the site because it is very organized and complete. I think that it is important to follow the schedule and to have time to prepare for GMAT. Personally speaking, I first read all the chapters and then I did the exercises. I also did 1 GMAT mock up test per week the last 3 weeks before the real GMAT.
I also used the personal test that everybody can take at the site. It is interesting because people can design their own tests based on their weaknesses. Here, I selected all hard tests to practice on more difficult exercises. It is important though to do that after you master the easy and medium exercises.

The course does take a long time but there is no way i would have scored what I scored without it. Be prepared to put in the time.

I would HIGHLY recommend this course. I've taken other courses and showed little to no improvement. TTP REALLY is the way to go. I have been out of College for over 10 years and forgot a lot of things. TTP starts and builds on the basics in an amazing way. It really is the only product out there that can get you a 220 point score improvement. It's an amazing product that you can take at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. I also did some tutoring with TTP tutors along the way and it's a great way to cement in topics you are having troubles with. 10/10 recommend for anyone out there looking to improve your score on the GMAT.

Strengths:

The course is structured really well and allowed me to efficiently plan and schedule my study sessions. I could see the progress that I was rapidly making.

Would make the product better:

Nothing!

In my practice tests and first official GMAT test, I couldn't break 700 on the GMAT. I was scoring relatively well on the Quant section but was having difficulty with the Verbal section. I liked that I could choose to do the accelerated program and bypass the Quant lessons and only take the review quizzes. This way, I had a nice review of the Quant section and could choose which topics to review more in-depth, while focusing more on the Verbal sections. While I did have to be self-disciplined because no one was keeping tabs on my progress, TTP made it easy for me to make my study plan. The lessons for each topic were super thorough and gave me a lot of confidence once test day came around.
