Hi Everyone,
I started my journey with TTP in June 2021. I studied both Quant and Verbal with TTP.
Quant:
-I did not use any other resource but TTP. The course is extremely exhaustive and helps you understand the foundation of every single operation you make in the GMAT, and it also helps you identify shortcuts and avoid long operations.
-The chapter tests are extremely helpful and you can always go back to review the hard questions, which are key.
-One thing that I did was create a custom test with all of my wrong hard questions, and doing this really helped me nail the hard problems in the test.
-As I finished the course I felt so confident in my quant skills that I did not even open any other resource.
Verbal:
-TTP was extremely helpful for me to understand the foundations of verbal. As a non-native speaker, I learned English at school but missed many of the rules that the GMAT tests. After using TTP I also used the OG to get more practice on verbal questions.
On top of all the great material that TTP has, the platform is really friendly and the methodology that they use is great.
Good luck everyone
I've been out of school for a while so the rigorous and structured curriculum that builds the concepts up from the basics was really helpful. I was working long hours, so it was helpful to have the study plan take me straight to my next chapter or quiz as soon as I open the website. The curriculum prepared me well for the real test and the medium/hard questions were well calibrated to what you experience on the real thing. Future suggestion: a mobile app with some offline capability would have been nice so I could study while on long flights without wifi.
I started my GMAT prep like many others -- the occasional glance through a Manhattan Prep or GMAC test prep book, and doing some practice problems as well. As a current undergraduate student, I didn't have the time or dedication to spend multiple months prepping for the GMAT -- I also started with a baseline score of 690, so the improvement I was looking for wasn't massive (my target score was 740+).
My experience with TTP started when I spoke with a friend of mine who got his score from a 690 to a 770 in a matter of three weeks; he couldn't stop raving about TTP. So, I signed up, and cannot express how thankful I am for the team at TTP! The course is personalized and feels like a game, and while you are learning concepts, the course will sprinkle in practice problems to test your application of concepts you have learned. I only managed to score a 740 maximum on my practice tests, but on the real test, I scored a 760!
If you need a test prep solution that will work for you (regardless of your score goal), look no further -- TTP is the way to go!
I started my GMAT journey in mid September 2021 with the aim of applying to universities in the second round. As I began my research, TTP stood out to me with its excellent reviews on all platforms. I didn't really have much time to experiment with the different prep companies and I decided to take the 5 day trial.
TTP was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was aware of my learning style and the course catered to it perfectly. The structured approach along with detailed explanations and questions to test my application built into each lesson, really gave me what I needed.
I started at a 580 and ended up at 740 approximately 3.5 months later. I took the Flexible plan for 3 months and renewed after each month. However much I wanted to complete the entire course in that duration, I couldn't. It's extremely comprehensive and exhaustive, which I consider to be a plus point of TTP. Given that I was on a schedule, I thoroughly read all the chapters and solved all the questions that were in the lessons. I skipped doing the chapter tests because I wanted to practice with the OG and it worked out for me.
I'm glad I chose TTP to get my target score.
I used Target Test Prep (TTP) to study for the GMAT Quant section. TTP helped me to get my target GMAT score by providing me with strategies that helped me answer each type of question in the GMAT Quant section.
The TTP platform is well organized and user friendly, so it is easy to keep track of mistakes and improve in areas that you are weak in. The platform has a huge library of practice questions as well as detailed lessons and videos that cover all aspects of the GMAT. I focused mostly on the Quant section, but it also has great material available for the Verbal section.
TTP added a lot of value for me because it helped me to learn from my mistakes and become more efficient at answering questions. Before using TTP, I found the GMAT Quant section quite difficult because I couldn't answer all the questions in the time provided. TTP showed me the most efficient ways to answer each question type and provided me with detailed explanations when I didn't understand a concept. TTP is also very well structured, so I found that I could spend more time focusing on learning the material and doing practice questions instead of trying to keep track of where I was in my own study plan.
I really enjoyed using TTP and I wouldn't have achieved the GMAT score that I wanted without it. I'd highly recommend it for anyone preparing for the GMAT.
Cannot recommend TTP enough to people. Scott and team have put together a great course with all of the tools you need to master the quant and verbal. Each lesson is tailored to exactly what you need to know for the exam, and focuses on making sure students actually learn and master the material, not just memorize a formula. Even though the verbal is new, it is incredibly well set up and covers all of the necessary material in depth. If you follow this plan exactly how it is designed and how they suggest, you should have no problems achieving your goals. Overall, a great resource. Wish I had used TTP the first go around when studying for the GMAT, would have saved me some serious time.

TTP is the best and cheapest available GMAT prep course, which can get any individual to score 700+ on the GMAT. Following the program step-by-step, I was able to improve my GMAT score from a 570 to 730 in just 6 months, a 160 point improvement.
Having taken the CPA exam prior to the GMAT, I expected to easily find the best prep course to maximize my GMAT score. Surprisingly, searching through GMATClub and R/GMAT, I had a hard time deciphering what prep course really was the best to help me earn my goal score of 700 on the GMAT. I initially signed up for the Manhattan Prep Interactive course, a $1000 commitment. Going through the course, I was frustrated with how little detail the course went into each topic and subject. I felt that I was given a high level overview of various subjects, given a few practice problems, and moved on to the next topic. Frustrated with only a 20 point improvement after 2 months of studying, I knew I had to find another prep course and resource that could comprehensively cover each topic on the exam, and provide me with enough practice questions to master every topic.
TTP provided me with everything I needed to master every topic on the exam. Each subject has video solutions, many example questions, and detailed explanations. I literally felt that the course could help me score an 800 on the exam, a feat I didn't think was possible when I first started studying.
Thanks to the amazing content provided by the Verbal and Quant TTP courses, I was not only able to achieve my dream score, but exceeded my score goal by 30 points! The detailed analytics provided by the course also turned studying into a "game" in which I was constantly motivated to improve any weak areas I had.
I would recommend this course to absolutely everybody, and am a bit surprised why not every student searching for a prep course chooses the TTP course. For reference, I spent $1000 on the Manhattan course. I only spent $600 in total on the TTP course, and felt that TTP gave me 10x the material and value I was given by the Manhattan course.
Thanks for all the support Mart, Jeff, and Scott! I couldn't have done it without your support!
I started my GMAT preparation with 580 in my first mock test.
Seeing my verbal score of V22, it became clear to me that I needed to start from basic for verbal and some improvement in Quant (that last improvement is hardest from V47 to much higher.)
I came to know about TTP and decided to go with it. TTP is the reason, I could achieve my 730 score. There is no doubt in its quant as well as verbal course. If you need to learn from basic to advanced without any gimmick, TTP is the only course.
Apart from the course, their on-spot support is great. Shoot any doubt to their experts, you will get your query resolved with complete satisfaction. The only thing you need to do is just holistically follow their course structure (you can set your target score, it will automatically set your course and practice test goals.) One best thing is that they will never teach you any gimmick that works some of the time but not others. In last, I will say TTP is an awesome program and worth more than its cost.
I was struggling with Quant and wanted a service that had plenty of practice questions for me to familiarize myself with the various question types. After seeing the plethora of questions on TTP through their 1-week trial, I decided to pull the trigger. My quant obviously improved but I found that the verbal was also super helpful. The OnTarget Analytics was also great at the very end of my prep to go back and strengthen my weak points. If you follow the course and complete it 100%, doing all of the chapter tests and hitting the target scores, your GMAT score will improve for sure. All around 5 stars!
TTP comes prepared with an extremely detailed study plan and all I had to do was follow it exactly as they had laid out and put in the hard work. They teach all concepts so thoroughly in such a way that you actually feel like you're learning and understanding the information. They put you through numerous practice tests (split by difficulty level) which really drills in the concepts that they teach. They even have review tests throughout the prep to ensure that you remember concepts taught earlier in the course. This is quite important as it is a comprehensive and detailed module, so these recaps will make you feel more confident about concepts you have already learned.
Personally, I loved how available the instructors were at all times. They were just one message away and I got the feeling that they really wanted to help me out. This is a really important factor especially in these online courses and adds that personal touch.
