The title says it all! I used TTP for my quant prep and ended up with a Q50! I made sure to complete the quant course in its entirety, including the 3000 or so questions on it. I did a lot of official quant questions too, but the OG Guides were nowhere nearly as comprehensive or helpful as the TTP curriculum. I think TTP is an incredibly helpful resource for anyone struggling with quant on the GMAT, and I also wanted to give a shoutout to Scott for all the helpful advice and inspirational videos on the TTP platform - those were a huge help!

I was a subscriber to TTP's flexible plan for 2 months preceding my GMAT exam. I chose the flexible plan because I was confident that I could finish the course in max 3 months, and the flexible plan would have been the cheapest option.

While I had not tried many prep providers before TTP, of the ones that I did try, TTP had the best user interface (you will see this comment being repeated in many other reviews). You could go navigate to anywhere in the website in 2-3 clicks of your mouse. The simplicity certainly helped keep the focus on the content, instead of learning how to move around within the website.

The next best thing would certainly be the way the content is framed. You will not find a ton of questions inside the websites. Instead, you will find a sufficient number of questions which would help you get to a 730+ score. This is very helpful for someone who is pressed for time. The TTP course is quite comprehensive, hence, not throwing a 1000 questions into the program definitely helps you cover all topics, and gain a sufficient level of mastery over them. And don't worry about the Verbal portion being a new addition. I would never have guessed it by myself (and personally, it was more useful to me than the quant portion)

All in all, I would definitely recommend anyone to go for TTP. I was employed full time while began my prep with them, and ended up with a 750 score in my 1st attempt.

Target Test Prep provides very detailed content and exercises for GMAT preparation. The study sections go to a great length to explain all content from both verbal and quant sections.

All material is very well elaborated. Each content segment is followed by specific questions related to that content. This way, all concepts are tested immediately after being presented and it reinforces the learning with practice.

After each section, a more complete test is provided and helps preparation for the official exam. A plan is also provided, guiding what was tested and what remains to be evaluated.

There is also detailed information on which categories of questions are your strongest and weakest points.

The first time I wrote the GMAT, I scored a 700. While I did well on verbal (V42), I was well below my target score of 50 on Quant (I scored Q43). I didn't know what to do since I had exhausted all of the OG Quant practice questions and even though I was able to answer those questions well, my abilities weren't being reflected on the actual exam. I knew I needed to invest in a course that would break down the different types of quant questions and teach the theoretical concepts so that I could effectively answer higher-level quant questions. This is where TTP came in.

I came across some reviews for TTP on gmatclub and thought I'd sign up for the 5-day trial. The trial allowed me to access the entire course and see that it was broken down into sections for the different questions types. I was able to determine which exact sections I was weak in and use the practice tests and lessons to improve my skills. I subscribed to TTP's flexible plan and completed all of the quant lessons and practice tests in a few months. It took me a while to get through the course since I was travelling and working, but I think you could probably complete the quant portion in a month depending on your starting skill level and availability.

I saw an immediate improvement in my quant skills after completing TTP. I was consistently scoring a Q50 or Q51 on the official GMAT practice exams (from mba.com) and knew I was ready for the actual exam. I scored a Q50 on my actual GMAT exam and finished the quant section with 5 minutes to spare! This was a huge improvement since I wasn't even able to finish the quant section that first time I wrote the GMAT.

I wouldn't have been able to score in the 99th percentile without TTP. I love how the course breaks down the different concepts into sections and offers questions of differing difficulty levels so that you're able to assess how well you're doing. TTP is the gold standard for GMAT courses and I couldn't recommend it enough!

I took a mock after about a month of on and off official guide practice- I got a 660 (Q43 V38). My quant fundamentals were weak since I had not done math in about 10 years.

I went through the trial versions of a few service providers. Target Test Prep seemed super intimidating at first, and I almost didn't subscribe to it. However, when I started to use it, I fell in love with the structure, the explanations and the interface. The 5 day trial with full access really allows you to take full benefit. They have an accelerated study plan versus a fullly structured one. I did the former.

For somebody with almost zero quant background, TTP was a life saver. There is an underlying 'do not panic' vibe through the entire course. The highlights, the notes and the search for keyword features were incredible. I could find problems that I needed more practice with so easily, as well as search for sub-lessons readily. The verbal section is also equally good! All of the concepts are there and the examples are very very good. I did not use any other material to prep (other than the Manhattan tests after my first official attempt, since I had exhausted my official tests).

I chose the flexible plan due to paucity of time- I really stretched myself thin in the two months and I went slightly off the course recommended path. I took my first official GMAT on November 26 and got a 640. I panicked and reached out to Scott. He said that I just need to do the fundamentals again and I'd be good. I realized as I did that and took a few Manhattan prep tests, that TTP had given me super strong fundamentals, and I just needed to calm my nerves. I decided to take it again on December 18, and I was set. My concepts were so clear that I managed a 760 (Q48 V47) even with a fever.

For anybody willing to invest some time to get better at the GMAT, I will wholly recommend TTP! It's affordable, easy to use and makes you feel as if you've got it under control.

TTP offers a great course that covers all topics for a very reasonable price of 100$/month.

Pros:
- explatations are easy to understand
- important points are highlighted and can be bookmarked for review later
- an excercise right after almost every sub-chapter to solidify the concept learned
- a lot of chapter tests for every topic
- error log
- chat function connects you to one of the tutors
- strategy section teaches you about mindset and test-taking

Cons:
- the first answer you get when you ask a question in chat is mediocre, so you need to ask follow-up questions in order to understand what you wanted to know
- for verbal there are not enough practice excercises or chapter tests (at least for me)

Generally I was very satisfied with TTP, especially considering the price. If you do decide to take this course I would recommend doing additional verbal practice questions here on gmatclub (maybe this only applies to me since I am weaker in verbal than in quant).

As someone who works full-time and hasn't studied for a test since graduating college, I give TTP full credit for helping me achieve my goal score. I started my GMAT journey with a different test prep course and got a 720 on my first attempt but was unsatisfied with my Quant performance, so I decided to retake. After some careful research, I landed on TTP. I'm lucky I did, because TTP is exactly what I needed to brush up on my weak Quant areas and stay motivated after months of studying while working full-time.

TTP has thorough explanations of concepts and covers everything you need to know for Quant. The course does a great job of not only providing in-depth explanations, but also summarizing key takeaways (‘Must-Knows’). Although I mainly used TTP for Quant, the parts of the Verbal course I did were similarly spectacular.

With the other course I used, it was easy to fall into the trap of forgetting content I had previously reviewed. By using TTP, I avoided falling into this trap because TTP not only incorporated questions throughout each chapter, but also had review tests that included questions from previous chapters. For Quant especially, the key to solidifying my understanding of concepts ultimately came down to drilling questions.

TTP also has several features that really helped me succeed. First, the progress tracking: the progress bars for each chapter kept me motivated to study even after a long work day, and I often found myself studying more than I initially planned. Additionally, TTP’s custom tests allowed me to build my own problem sets using a variety of customizable settings, including specific chapters and difficulty levels. TTP also keeps an error log of questions you’ve gotten wrong and even allows you to create custom tests from these. I was previously keeping track of an error log manually, so this saved me a lot of valuable study time. Finally, TTP has easy-to-use note-taking and bookmark features. Note-taking is as simple as highlighting some text in a lesson, and the bookmark feature lets you save a specific question, Must-Know, or even entire lesson. I used both features throughout the course, and being able to easily review my problem areas in the days leading up to my test kept the information fresh in my mind.

Thank you TTP for building such a well thought-out platform and effective study plan, I truly believe it is the golden standard of any test prep platform.

I am a non-native speaker and gave my GMAT about a year ago. I scored a disappointing 590 Q45 V28 on the test. It was the test day anxiety that really got to me and I failed to solve the problems that I could've gotten right. I emailed Scott and Jeff about the situation. I performed a memory wipe against everything I knew for the GMAT and started fresh with each fundamental concept and practiced accordingly. I was recommended to take a practice test each week but I was still lacking the conceptual clarity.

TTP is made for clearing your conceptual gaps. I don't think I even needed to look at any other question banks except TTP questions and OG practice questions. Once you start hitting more than 80% accuracy in TTP practice quizzes, solving an OG question will be a relaxing experience. The similarity of questions in TTP Quant to the OG questions is remarkable, not that they are copied exactly as it is but that they are quite different and have some kind of different gravity to them in that if you solve a TTP question and later you were given an OG question of the same type, I guarantee you can solve it.

Another thing was the timing in solving a question, something in which I was really bad. You can checkout an article about this on TTPs website, the first recommendation is to SLOW DOWN while solving, something which I directly started to practice. In my second attempt, I didn't care about timing while solving a QUANT question. What I needed to know was
1. Do I know the concept behind it ?
2. Have I solved a problem like this before ?(which you might have if you've used TTP)
3. Is this my weak area? or Do things in these type of questions go wrong for you?
If I had answers to all three of them, which I guess you will have if you've practiced and reviewed enough, I would just go ahead and start solving it. Once I reach an answer/conclusion on DS question, I used to look back once and submit.

Jeff has been a great mentor, he gave me a detailed plan on how to go about preparing for your test. Marty is also a great guy, his recommendations for RC and CR have helped me a lot and I cannot thank them enough. Essentially TTP is a great course and you should definitely add it into your GMAT Prep if you want to crack that 700 mark!!

TTP has created an excellent course that covers the ins and outs of both Quant and Verbal, providing users with the necessary tools to ace the GMAT. I started at 570 as a baseline after going thru another prep company's materials.

I was introduced to the course over at r/GMAT on reddit, and I was initially suspicious of the many glowing reviews given by users there. After using the course for myself, I have found it to be not the case and that it really prepares you well for the GMAT.

For the Quant section, the materials are substantial and go in-depth, allowing anyone (even those with years out of school or not having a quant background) to be able to grasp all things GMAT Quant. This "one-stop shop" method is truly convenient, especially when one is juggling work and studies at the same time.

For the Verbal section, the SC and CR are very well developed, going deep into the material and giving users good insights into how the GMAT tests on Verbal. Basics are drilled deep into one's learning plan, as frequent quizzes are interspersed throughout. I would say the RC is new, and I haven't really used the material, but give the excellent team sometime, and I am sure the RC would be on par with the rest of the sections, if not better.

All in all, I would say I had a good experience with TTP's course. The only caveat I would add is that the course is long, so please be prepared to allocate sufficient time for you to prep if you're aiming for a good score (700+) or is coming from a slightly weaker background.

Hands down, TTP is the most useful prep tool for GMAT I’ve ever used. The most important thing is that the practice questions can properly train your way of thinking, and mold it in the same way that GMAT uses to test the students. When I did GMAT the last time, I actually kept a good pace cause I needed not to overthink what the question was asking - I just instantly knew which option would make the most logical sense. I wish I had known about TTP earlier - I might have gotten a good score way sooner!
