TLDR: Having tried multiple resources over the course of 12 months, this was the best that I found.

I have used GMAT official guides, Manhattan prep materials, and Math revolution. The first of these doesn't go nearly far enough to get a top score. A common thread in the unofficial materials is that they bulk out their material and call it added value. Manhattan makes you pay for a set of thick books, but when you look at the chapter structure for example they split up the strategy chapters for no other reason than that it allows them to state the same material some 4 times, as a reminder. Math revolution advertises some large number of hours of video content but if you watch the videos each opens and closes with a slow title and again, often repetitive content. This goes further than lacking substance, it detracts from the value of the product as it cuts into your time to discern the value from deliberately included BS.

TTP made the most of my time. All lessons in the quant section were direct and to the point, explaining each topic only so far as I needed to know. After completing all the material you then have a huge question bank to work through. The hard questions are probably harder than what you'll see on the day in many cases, but are excellent examples to test what you've learned. On completion of a practice test you can bookmark problems that you struggled with or guessed, then compile custom tests made up solely of those questions you found tricky. I loved that feature as I got close to test day and wanted to find problems that I knew would inch me closer to the score I wanted.

The newly completed verbal section is not as good. Sometimes it can be long-winded, again unfortunately seeming to pad itself out with examples, or oddly structured, opening with an exception to a rule then going into what the rule was.

Beyond the materials the presentation of the site is great and customer service is highly responsive.

To make the most of the course takes far more than a month in my experience, so be ready for that, but otherwise this is my number 1 recommendation for GMAT prep after you have used the official guide to understand the structure of the test.

Premise: I used Magoosh 2 months before my first attempt on May 31 and was very disappointed in my results. I was focusing on building up my knowledge base but after the first attempt, I realized that I was lacking insight on how to practically apply my knowledge. I was looking for a personalized solution to target my weak areas and had at that point also tried e-GMAT. I found the whole pre-thinking approach confusing so I choose TTP because of all the amazing reviews. I had 1.5 months before my next and final exam attempt (due to the application deadlines).

Course: I primarily focused on Quant and just did 2 easy, 2 med, 2 hard quizzes for each topic, reviewing content for the problems I got wrong and making sure I am able to solve them quickly and correctly. I did not get through all the quant topics but covered all foundations and all the topics that show up most often. I also reviewed the high-level Most Important Concepts document TTP provides and took notes throughout the course to review a few days before the exam.

For Verbal, I took about a week to review my weak areas in each subject of CR and SC. So thankful that TTP does not use the pre-thinking method because honestly, it made me perform worse. I found the TTP Verbal explanations to be very clear and comprehensive, and I definitely felt more comfortable going into the exam.

Results: Just in that 1.5 months (142 study hours) I was able to boost my Quant score by 7 points and my Verbal score by 2 points. I wish wish wish I had more time because I know that additional practice with TTP, especially with the verbal course would take my score even higher, but honestly I am so relieved to have achieved a 710 in the short time frame I had. Couldn't have done it without TTP!

I had a very toxic relationship with Quant or maths per say. Since school, I was very weak in maths and never got the hang of it. The day came when I realized that I had to give the GMAT and had to do well in quant. I didn't know about TTP but used another 'famous' course. I took a baseline and got a 510 ( Q33 V27). After 3 months of doing that course I got a 590 (Q37 V34). I realized that I needed to put a lot of effort in Quant. One day, while scrolling through Reddit, I came across r/GMAT and a program called TTP had rave reviews. I went to their website and realized that they were quite unique in terms of selling the course. They insisted on us taking the 1$ trial and then only thinking to buy it. I did so and found the modules very very simple to understand. The easy, medium and hard tests prepare you well for what's to come. I also tried their verbal which was in pre-launch ( That's all you need for Verbal). They started from the basics and went higher up. I scheduled a call with Scott and he made me connect with my country's representative. He patiently listened to my weaknesses and analyzed stuff and got back to me with a plan and a method to achieve a great score in a month ( I had a couple of months only). I told him that I needed to score a 650 but he insisted that I can easily score a 700+ and a 48-49 in quant ( I laughed tho). I rigorously followed the plan for a month and they gave me a few days extension to finish the course which I did. I gave the official practice tests and started scoring in the 700+ range and quant in the range of 47-49. I was really impressed with myself and TTP. Then Covid struck my family and I could not strike when the iron was hot. Immediately after all of them recovered, I gave my GMAT online ( which was a disaster - 620 (Q47 V29)). I Immediately scheduled a call with them and they formulated another plan. I did the entire verbal course again and for the quant did their custom tests and read the modules in which I was making mistakes. I gave an official mock and scored a 730 ( Q49 V41). I knew I was prepared and gave the in-person exam and scored a 710 ( Q49 V 37).
From mid 30s in quant to a Q49- the entire credit goes to this amazing course.

I am a non-native speaker and was stuck as late V20's till I came across TTP Verbal course. I spent a countless number of with GMAT online prep courses from one of the leading company but despite putting in the effort, my score never improved especially in SC. I was kind of losing confidence which is when I came across TTP Verbal course. The best thing to happen for me was them offering whole course on free trial. Due to free trial I could know the quality of material and was able to immediately decide that I want to go ahead and purchase the plan and prep for my SC again from start. I was able to complete my SC prep in one month and was confident on my SC skills by the end of it. Scored V38 on the day with 88% in SC. My RC percentile was 28 on the day which costed me a lot. Eagerly waiting for TTP RC course too.

I wanted a course that would adjust to my full-time work schedule and help me address critical and challenging areas. TTP helped me the most to improve my accuracy in data sufficiency and sentence correction questions.

Despite my quantitative background, I realized I needed to improve my score for data sufficiency sections. TTP's strategy notes and the consistent application of these strategy notes in their provided solutions were of immense help.

In the verbal section, I sailed through critical reasoning and reading comprehension, thanks to my extensive reading habit but struggled with sentence correction questions. TTP's Verbal Beta helped me in recognizing splits and quickly arriving at the solution.

Additionally, the TTP design provides a good understanding of how you are performing compared to your target score throughout the program. This helped me focus on critical areas of improvement. Scott and his team are very responsive and supportive throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this course!

I gave my first GMAT without much prep and received a score of 640. For my second attempt, I did some preparations using OG and the free OG Mocks, but still wound up getting a disappointing score of 670 which was well below my target range.

I decided to give GMAT again about a month later due to a fixed timeline, but was not sure how to approach the preparations as I needed to raise my score significantly in just a month. On researching online, I found a few reviews of TTP, and found their monthly flexible plan to be quite cheap as compared to other courses.

The quant course was well structured and helped me raise my score from 42-44 to 49. Even the verbal section was helpful as I managed to raise my score from 38-40 to 44.

The major issue I faced in quant was that despite getting most of the questions I attempted right, I was not able complete all the questions in the time given. In TTP, the practice tests were extremely helpful as were the shortcuts and tips provided, and I was able to reduce the time I required. In fact for the quant section on the actual exam I had some time left over.

TTP was extremely helpful, and I believe anyone who religiously follows their course would be easily able to achieve their target scores.

TTP was super helpful in building on my foundation in quant. I used the accelerated track since I had already done quite a bit with Manhattan Prep. TTP did a great job of introducing not only all the types of problems, but all their variations as well. It was super thorough and the biggest help was the large number of hard level chapter tests. There were especially sections like combinations, permutations, and probability that were way more in depth than some of the other prep books I had already done. I can't speak much about Verbal since I only used TTP for quant, but from a quant standpoint it was more than enough to raise my score quite a bit. Highly recommend TTP.

Target test prep helped my preparation a lot. It is a great learning tool especially for Quant with problems similar to the ones on the actual GMAT. Would highly recommend it. It takes a few months to properly go through the course, so make sure you start early to get the most benefit out of it.
The techniques to ace the CR section are also very well explained and helped me a lot to strategically tackle these questions.
Sentence correction is also very well explained and highlights many common pitfalls in the SC questions. I would suggest practice the OG guides too on the side for the best results.

With the help of TTP I went from a Q40 to Q49. TTP is just the right course, if you really want to achieve in-depth knowledge and skills for the qualitative section of the GMAT. So many GMAT like questions as well as excellent explanations. This course is unbeatable. Highly recommend it to any person, who wants to score high in the quantitive section of the GMAT.

Additionally, TTP launched a verbal section, but unfortunately just at the end of my preparation phase, so I did not fully use it. Still, the theoretical part was very extensive and gave me some knowledge I did not possess before.

Good job!!!

I signed up for Target Test Prep's 4 month plan and went through the entire curriculum prior to taking my first exam. I was hoping to improve my 650-680 initial score to a 730-740 in order to get into my target schools. After getting a 710, I reached out to Jeff and Scott, who created a 1-month study plan that got me to my goal of a 730. The quant study materials are very thorough and helpful. Each module provides guided examples and quizzes to practice one's knowledge. There is also an extensive test bank that can be customized to redo incorrect answers or ones that take longer than two minutes. The verbal modules, while not quite as helpful in my opinion, also provided a strong base of knowledge for the critical reasoning and sentence correction questions. Overall, TTP was very useful in helping me reach my goals on the GMAT. I would recommend the service to others and encourage them to work through all the modules.
