700 Q48 V38 (Online)
Hi,
Starting with only 520, I improved my score to 700 (GMAT Online). Studying with Target Test Prep was the best decision I made during the prep!
Initially, I was using the MGMAT books that I got from a friend, but the score did not improve much after a few weeks of studying. So, I decided to look for an alternative way of studying. Luckily, Marty Murray, whom I found on the internet, referred me to Target Test Prep.
I enjoyed studying with TTP because it was keeping me engaged through the course. That I could see my score improving gradually was rather motivating.
The material is very thorough and the grind is not tiring at all. It is impressive how the material builds up block by block, eventually increasing the difficulty.
I highly appreciate the time the TTP stuff took to answer my many questions. I also appreciated a lot of material on different GMAT strategies, such as the GMAT time management strategy.
I will definitely recommend Target Test Prep to all my friends. I really enjoyed the tranquil self-studying.
Thank you Scott, Marty, Jeff, Amaury, and Rafael. You guys are the best!
Increasing my GMAT score by 100 points over the course of 8 months was not easy, but working with TTP made the quant section feel like a breeze. The pre-beta verbal module really helped me internalize each and every question. Slowing down and building accuracy before speed paid major dividends for me. The hard questions in the verbal platform are also more difficult than the actual exam, so the actual exam felt very easy(I am almost positive I made some careless mistakes in the verbal section, as I was speeding through and had so much time left). The explanations on these questions are so thorough that I am not surprised my verbal score went up by 6 points! This platform is truly your one-stop GMAT prep resource, even with the verbal only in the pre-beta version!
Obviously there are different methods of learning and everyone has their preferences - but TTP is legit and I would recommend it to anyone that's serious about GMAT prep. I went from a 630 to a 740, in large part due to TTP.
The program very clearly breaks down all the content you need to know into bite-sized modules, with plenty of questions along the way to ensure grasp of the material. Each section also has a series of easy, medium, and hard timed quizzes that are crucial for "game speed" practice. Recently, TTP has introduced beta Verbal sections, which are equally as good as the Quant sections in my opinion.
I think it's important to also note that TTP offers these services at a reasonable cost compared to what other programs offer.
TLDR: I strongly recommend TTP to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score and can speak to the effectiveness of the program first-hand. At the end of the day, it takes a lot of time and hard work to improve your score, but TTP equips you with all the resources you'll need to crush the GMAT. Thanks to Scott and team for their service!
Honestly, I knew that I was quite strong in the quant section in GMAT as I have just graduated from an engineering course in college. However, I felt that I needed a comprehensive quant course which TTP, I feel, have fulfilled completely as one. The content materials are strategically organised and methodical in their instruction. In overall, I feel that this course has made me confident, especially in the data sufficiency section where I was weak in. One limitation I feel is that TTP questions are not sufficient in preparing you for the GMAT and one should complete OG questions as well to get a feel for GMAC style of questions.
After taking the GMAT three times over the course of a year and having the highest score in the low 600s, I was extremely disappointed and defeated. I had read great reviews about TTP and after a friend's recommendation, I decided to sign up for the $1 trial. And I was sold. TTP superbly breaks down its program into modules of material you will see on the test, provides you with so many tips and tricks to solve problems, and most importantly gives a plethora of easy to hard problems for you to drill a certain topic until you are a pro. I made a game time decision to take the online version of the GMAT with two weeks to study. Each day, I used TTP for 2-4 hours, didn't even make it through every module, but still learned so many new concepts and created my own custom tests. During the actual test, I was nervous because I felt somewhat confident about the problems (weird, right?!) I ended up scoring 710 (Q47 V41). I can't even describe how amazing seeing the score was and I would not have been able to achieve that without TTP.
I used the original guide for my first attempt after a couple weeks study focusing mainly on verbal. I am an engineering graduate, so I thought I would be fine with the quant. I scored a Q40 which really brought my score down. I used TTP prep for my second attempt and not only was it a fantastic learning tool, it was also a great study guide. The format of the program makes it easy to tell how far along you are and how you are grasping the concepts. The beta version of Verbal was also made available during my 2.5 months of study and I found that really helped improve my verbal score. I highly recommend TTP and at the very least use the 5 day free trial.
I started the Target Test Prep Dedicated Study plan (4 months) after getting Q39 in my first GMAT practice exam, and realizing I had a lot of quant material I needed to learn. There is an extensive amount of content - I spent 2-3 hours a day going over the material six out of seven days in the week, and still wasn't able to finish all of the chapters within the 4 months, so I purchased another month of the flexible plan.
The great part about the course is how straightforward it is - you study the concepts, review the concepts via chapter tests, and review even more practice questions after a series of chapters. The chapters can feel a bit overkill at times with how thorough the practice questions go into concepts, but it helps you feel prepared as most of the ways quant questions can be asked on the GMAT are covered.
I do recommend supplementing your study with questions from the GMAT Official Guide. In my first GMAT attempt, I scored Q44, which is definitely an improvement, but I was thrown off a bit by how the questions were worded on the exam. With more exposure to official GMAT questions, I likely would have spent less time trying to figure out what the questions were asking. (My nervousness did not help either!)
After looking at all the positive reviews Target Test Prep, I decided to sign up for the trial version. Since I had only about three weeks for my GMAT exam I decided to focus on Quant and TTP was the best way to do it so I subscribed to TTP. I was very impressed with the course layout, the detailed chapter topics, and the chapter tests. Doing different chapter tests I was able to find my weaknesses and work on improving them. I really liked the break down of each topic which enabled me to focus on areas I was struggling with. I practiced Quant questions only from TTP and did OG questions. After three weeks of intensive studying I gave my GMAT and improved my Quant score from 45 to 49 :)
I am continuing my GMAT prep with TTP and absolutely recommend it to other test takers!
I took the GMAT back in February and scored a 710 (47Q/42V). I felt good with this score, especially since it was my first time sitting for the exam, but I knew I needed something to push me over the edge to get a top score. Target Test Prep was exactly what I was looking for. Their quant program helped me score a 50Q when I took the test for a second time on July 1st. The chapter tests will make you comfortable with all the subjects on the GMAT. My confidence grew as I moved through the course, and when I took the test again I felt very relaxed as I recognized the problem types thrown at me. I ended up scoring a 760 overall with a 50Q and 44V. The new verbal section is still in Beta mode, but looks to be just as top notch as the TTP Quant program. I would recommend TTP to anyone who is looking to score over 700 on the GMAT.

TTP is truly the only resource you'll need to crush the quant section of the GMAT! I utilized their resources for two months, just doing practice questions in different categories until I felt like I had mastered each section. Their questions are very reflective of the actual GMAT, and they have wonderful breakdowns of each question so you can see why/how you got the question wrong so you can correct it next time. In addition, they are continuing to build out their verbal resources, and the critical reasoning resources they have already built were a huge boost for me in the days leading up to the exam. After two months of dedicated practice with TTP, I was able to score a 770! 49Q 47V, so excited and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about taking the GMAT!!!
