I took my first GMAT course back in June 2020 and did not achieve my target score. Although I am confident in my verbal skills, my math skills were poor and I needed step-by-step guidance to understand the content. The GMAT is so much more than learning a few formulas. It is about developing analytical skills and responding sensibly in the moment (with about 2 minutes per question). TTP helped me strengthen the foundation of my math skills and also approach questions from an analytical point of view. My confidence in the test increased and I was able to calmly approach problems without freaking out (this actually was a major challenge). TTP is THE best course. It is also great value for money. I re-took the GMAT after 6 months with TTP and score a 720 (V 41 Q 47). Highly recommended for individuals who have the discipline to self-study and need something to guide them through the process. Plus, the TTP module on combinatorics and permutations is AMAZING. Seriously, I didn't think anyone could teach me how to tackle these questions. TTP did. I'm a fan!!
I used TTP from July to mid-December, studying lightly the first couple of months and heavily the rest. Although my initial verbal score and understanding were pretty strong, I scored extremely low on Quant at the start and knew that I was going to have to put in a lot of work if I wanted a 700+. Quite frankly, I was shocked at how thorough, easy to use, and useful the program was. The chapters are very detailed and extensive, the solutions are laid out in understandable ways, and there are literally thousands of practice problems that look very similar to the questions I encountered on the actual test. TTP does an exceptional job at covering every quant/verbal concept that may appear on the GMAT. For example, for the Properties of Numbers chapter alone, if I remember correctly, there are around 30 practice tests, and if you do all of these, you will most likely be prepared for any kind of question related to this concept on the GMAT. I would definitely recommend using the program for at least 2 months, as it is pretty long and dense and it would be difficult to cover everything in a shorter period of time. A week before my actual GMAT test date, my subscription to the program expired, and so I reached out to the staff and explained my situation. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they gave me a free week of prep, without which I really would not have been able to get the score I did. TTP is an awesome program and I would and will recommend it to anyone and everyone!
TTP was the only prep course I used for my GMAT preparation. After attempting a mock and getting a 640, I realized I needed to focus mainly in quant and sentence correction in order to improve my score. TTP was perfect for both, and after completing all content I got a 740 on the exam.
TTP sets up a study according to your current level and score goal. Then, it provides you with chapters for each topic, filled with very easy to follow explanations. After each chapter, you get a sequence of tests grouped by difficulty level, which are amazing for making sure you have understood all the concepts.
I studied for 2/3 hours every morning before work and used the platform for 4 months total. I chose the flexible preparation plan (month by month), but looking back I realize it would have been a better deal to get the longer packages. I'd definitely recommend TTP to any friend.
TTP's comprehensive course helped me score a 730 (Q49 V42) on the GMAT. I was looking to primarily use the course to prepare for quant as the verbal course was still in its beta phase and was being built out. Surprisingly, the verbal course was as good the amazing quant course.Everything from the personalized lesson plans to the detailed analytics provided in the program was extremely helpful. The custom tests provided on the platform also proved to be useful especially during the last few weeks before the test . On top of all this , TTP also provides a lot of material to help prepare mentally and physically for the test as well
I came across a number of different study resources in the year that I spent prepping for the GMAT and I can tell you without hesitation that TTP is hands down the best one for both quant and verbal like. Beyond it being so comprehensive, TTP is also great for what I think is such an underrated feature: ease of use. TTP is better than most other platforms in this regard--not to mention every physical GMAT prep book in which you have to flip back and forth between pages just to check your answers---because of its simple, clean design that helps you to maintain your focus and engagement during what can otherwise seem like a tedious process. Moreover, the sections are formatted in a way that makes sense--this was particularly helpful for me as I began my GMAT prep with little memory of the types of math skills that are covered. Lastly, this may be kind of cheesy but another thing I really appreciated about TTP was the quotes and words of encouragement that were interspersed throughout the lessons. Prepping for the GMAT can feel like a long and lonely road so the motivation definitely helps. I would highly recommend TTP for both quant and verbal prep.
I come from a non-quant background and have a very fast-paced job. So, it was hard for me to study for the GMAT- there were just so many options and honestly, no time to go through them at all. I saw a review of TTP on YouTube and decided to try the free trial. TTP was exactly what I needed. It is thorough and structured while being concise and easy to follow. It's suitable for a total GMAT newbie for me. Instead of giving you rules and formulas to cram, it shows you the underlying thought behind the examiner's questions so you can apply it to multiple question formats. I'm very happy with TTP and my score is a testament to its efficacy.
I started with a cold score of 650 and finished after 5 months of study with a score of 770. I used a few other resources outside of TTP, but TTP was by far the most useful.
I used the full Quant section of TTP, did the SC section twice, and only really used the skimmed the CR sections / did the CR tests, while skipping the RC section as the CR and RC were came more naturally.
Strongly recommend this platform - so convenient to have everything in one place and to track all errors so you know what to focus on after finishing the course. Marty was also very friendly and helpful with verbal and overall advice.
Thanks TTP!
TTP is the absolute best resource for GMAT out in the market. The material, the quality of questions and the way it is structured (with a little bit of gamification) are all amazing! If you are struggling to improve, especially in Quants, do not think twice before subscribing to the course. A lot of questions on the actual exam felt like I've already solved them in the practice tests. I even had a trial version of verbal which was way above expectation, especially when it comes to Sentence Correction.
Since my GMAT was scheduled a day after the end of my plan subscription, the team was also kind enough to extend my subscription by a couple of days to ensure I had the material for revision.
100% Recommend TTP.
After about ~8 months of using a different test prep company, I was really struggling to raise my GMAT score above a 600. I had gone through an in-person course and 1-on-1 tutoring sessions (spending well over $1000), but still wasn't able to reach even the general range of my goal score. Given the reviews on GMAT club, I decided to give Target Test Prep a try.
Because of TTP's extremely detailed curriculum, I was able to break down EVERY potential quant and verbal question that could come up on the test. I found other test prep companies simply grazed the surface of core topics (especially quant), whereas the TTP course has been designed in such a meticulous way to ensure that you have no surprises on test day. Albeit somewhat time consuming (I wouldn't recommend if you're in a time crunch), I saw my score jump over 100 points after completing the full course. I was initially weary about the lessons being fully self-driven, but Scott + the TTP team are 100% invested in each student's success - I received multiple personal emails from Scott checking in throughout my prep duration.
I recently got into my #1 choice M7 b-school and truly could not have done it without TTP.
TTP is without a doubt the best GMAT prep out there. I started with a 530 and with only a few months of TTP I scored a 760. Q50 V42. I initially used Manhattan books, but I was really struggling with their books; so I tried something new. TTP is extremely lengthy and comprehensive, so you have to put a lot of time into it. It took me 250 hours to complete. $99 a month and a lot of time investment is a small price to pay in my opinion. The improvements you will make using TTP will serve you extremely well when applying to grad school.
