My GMAT journey started with a 490 on my first Manhattan Prep CAT. I had no clue what I was doing and only got 2/3 of my way through the quant section. One of my friends recommended I look into Target Test Prep (TTP as it is now part of my everyday vocabulary). After using the TTP curriculum I was able to almost double my quant score to the 47-49 range. Despite making the jump in quant, my verbal score lagged behind severely. On my first GMAT attempt I scored a 680 (47/35). A month after my 680, TTP released its Verbal curriculum, and I was able to boost my verbal score from a 35 to a 42! I finished my second official GMAT attempt with a 740 (49/42). I put a lot of time and hard work into my studies but there was comfort in knowing TTP was a program I could trust to make all my work worth while.

I first started my 7-day trial with TTP as I wanted to see whether this program would suit me before signing up for the subscription. After the trial week I immediately paid to continue using the program. I loved TTP for its neat, easy-to-use interface and its quant content. The curriculum by TTP is incredibly thorough and comprehensive; it is broken down into each chapter such as linear equation, general word problems etc. At the end of each chapter there are chapter tests at easy level, medium level and hard level so that you can apply what you have learned. I only did medium and hard level questions in my practice and I covered almost all of them. Doing tons of questions focused on a topic helps to drill concepts into one’s head. In addition, there are solutions to each of these questions so that for every question you get wrong you can read the solution immediately after (or at your own pace) and learn from your mistake. What I also like about TTP is that you are able to tick a box at the end of each wrong question to categorise your error, whether it is because you made a careless mistake, you guessed the answer or you didn’t fully understand the concept, so that you can look at the analytics section and see what your problems are. You are also able to create a customed test, picking the topic you’d like to appear in your test (ie number properties, geometry) and the level of difficulty of questions. I usually created a customed test of 31 questions to mimic the GMAT exam.

I used a combination of TTP and GMAT Quant club test in my quant preparation and I HIGHLY recommend TTP to anyone studying for the GMAT.

Prior to taking the GMAT I had studied for and taken the LSAT, so my verbal abilities were already pretty decent. I searched for a while around the internet before settling on TTP to hone my quantitative skills. I could not be happier with the course. No matter what your previous experience is, TTP will provide sufficient lessons and practice problems to help you achieve your goal score. Like most things worthwhile, it is not going to be easy. However, the organization and depth of the course will keep you engaged and allow you to become extremely prepared for the test. I also really liked how accessible the founders of the course made themselves throughout the journey. I would often get messages from Scott either just to check in or to offer additional support and webinars. You can tell that these guys really care about their students and want to help each of them succeed. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to begin their GMAT studies!

I used TTP for about 4 months prior to my exam and I truly believe there is no more comprehensive study material out there for the GMAT. TTP focuses on implementation of concepts throughout the course. There is no shortage of practice tests, quizzes, that are intentionally delivered after every single chapter to solidify your understanding of each lesson. Even after you are finished with the course itself TTP has modules dedicated to taking official mock tests after the course. After I completed the course I scored between 47 and 50 on the quantitative sections of all 6 mock exams I took and my actual exam.

Before signing up, I was skeptical that the content provided was worth the money, but TTP completely delivered. It was a great step by step guide on how to tackle the GMAT. It is a worthy investment if you are willing to put in the time to learn and practice the material. Scott, Jeff and the TTP team are also entirely devoted to making sure that their students succeed and were available to me whenever I needed their assistance. With the release of their material dedicated to Verbal Review, this is truly the one-stop shop for your GMAT preparation. I wholeheartedly believe that my GMAT score would not have been possible without TTP.

Hi All,

I recently completed the online GMAT and scored 730 (96th percentile). I could not have done so with TTP Quant.

I am currently a senior in undergrad, graduating in 2 weeks with degrees in Cell and Molecular Biology and Philosophy. I haven't taken a math class in about three years, and I was never particularly strong at math. Even in middle and high school, I would do Kumon and other such tutoring in the summers specifically because of how difficult I found math to be. Now onto my GMAT story ...

I took my first official practice test on 3/5/20 and scores a 640 with Q37 and V40. This is with no preparation. 2 weeks later, I took practice test 2 and scored a 650 with Q35 and V44. Over those two weeks, I worked with some other GMAT resources, but I didn't see any gains in my score.

On 3/30/20 I purchases the flexible program from TTP. This is the actual date that I can say I really started understanding GMAT Quant. From the first module, my approach to the questions changed, and over time I started building my test-taking intuition. I immediately stopped using other resources and only did TTP. I wont lie, I only completed a few modules because I am still in school and have a lot of classwork to manage in addition to my GMAT prep. However, the gains came very quickly.

On 4/11/20, by which point I believe I was on module 5 of TTP, I took official practice test 3 and scored a 730 with Q44 and V47. While my Verbal did improve slightly, the Quant improvement that I felt was substantial. This might go unappreciated but actually my confidence during the test was higher because I could see how much better I had become at Quant. In practice tests 1 and 2, verbal was hard because I was kind of sulking at how bad quant went. For context, I always did Quant, Verbal, IR and then AWA as my order.

When I saw 730 on 4/11, I signed up for the Online GMAT for 4/20. I continued TTP, and I took GMAT Practice Test 4 on 4/17/20 and scored Q45, V46, and 740 Total. I used microsoft paint for the quant section to simulate the online whiteboard.

On 4/20 I took the official online and sscored Q48, V42, 730, 96th percentile. So, from 3/30/20 to 4/20/20, my score improved 90 points, from Q37 to Q48 via the help of TTP.

I strongly suggest everyone to use their program! It really changed my approach in strategy and understanding, and it was sufficient in areas where other famous programs were tremendously lacking, in my opinion atleast.

Thanks

TTP has a really huge test bank which I took advantage of to prepare myself on my speed and pacing of taking questions. I also really liked the questions for they felt really similar to the real questions you will see on the official test in terms of how the questions are worded and structured. The explanations for the questions were also really well versed which was very important in order for me to learn new topics.
I did not personally have a strong math background and this course really helped me a ton on building a strong foundation by finishing almost the entire test bank, which took me a month or two.

Absolutely essential quant review service and particularly helpful if you are looking to score 48+ on quant. TTP digs into all key concepts covered on the GMAT and helps build a really solid foundation in quant. If you are serious about understanding all quant concepts / questions before you take the GMAT (which is important if you want to break the 48+ threshold), TTP is going to be right service for you.

The materials themselves assume the user wants to actually learn quant concepts and not rely on tricks and shortcuts (generally), so you are prepared for everything come test-day. Coming from a math background, this is exactly what I was looking for in a review package.

I used a combination of TTP and GMAT Club questions to prepare for the exam, and without TTP I would not have been able to get a 49Q score on test-day (improvement from 47Q on first try, with consistent 49-50 quant scores on mock exams after I completed the course). Really a game-changer if you take the materials seriously

The only negative thing I have to say about this program is that I only found it after my 3rd GMAT attempt. In the mean time, I got my verbal on track but saw that my quant score fluctuating heavily (basically from 33-45). I realized that my quant knowledge was spotty. Meaning, in some topics I could answer 700+ questions with ease while in others I failed <550 type of questions. While it is very hard to identify the weak spots, I was looking for a comprehensive math program that builds up the required quant knowledge gradually, starting from scratch.
That is exactly what TTP does, it has a user friendly and modern interface and an insanely well structured curricula as well as fantastic analysis functions. It made me practice a lot, often >150 quant questions a day and only allows you to progress once you master a topic. While some concepts I knew very well it revealed my weak spots merciless. I felt more confident day by day and more importantly, my scores improved consistently and stopped fluctuating. Getting rid of these fluctuations is key in the GMAT and maximizes your chances of getting the score you want.

In my case, I had to stop this program after completing half of it. However, the bottom up structure of the curricula (you learn basics in the beginning that build your skills for later topics) already made me feel better prepared, not to mention that I had practiced ~2k questions with ttp in 3 weeks. I scored a 44 in quant and it just made me wonder what other score would have been possible if I would have finished the entire program.

Lastly, during my GMAT preparations, I have learned that there is not one course that suits everyone so bear in mind while one program might resonate with me and the way I learn, it might not work very well for someone else. As I mentioned in my GMAT debrief, a good way to understand whether this is the right course for you is to check the expert solutions / replies on the gmat forum. I found the answers from scott (founder of ttp) always very helpful.

I started TTP after getting a few Q49. I figured I would need to review from the ground up and strengthen my weakness in order to achieve the next level. I trusted the platform based on raving reviews, but I didn't see any noticeable result. Most people who use TTP are barely getting Q40~45 and they are happy with what they get. I don't think this program is for people who are at an advanced level.
I found the questions and lectures very repetitive. Questions are too easy and I don't think they prepare you well for the actual GMAT.

I enrolled to Target Test Prep after hearing about it from a friend who was also preparing for the GMAT. Only thing I regret is that I didnt listen to him right away and delayed in enrolling to this course. If you are looking to score somewhere in between Q47-Q50 in quant then this is the course you should enroll to. The best part about this course is that it improves your basics and then develops your skill to do GMAT level questions. I gave the GMAT thrice till I finally scored 720. In first two attempts I got Q48 and the final one was Q47. The success rate of TTP is huge. It literally conditions you to solve GMAT quant questions accurately till you actually end up solving them correctly on the test day. Another point I would like to mention which I feel is very important: while going through the course I had some questions regarding a quant problem which I just couldnt figure out. There is a chat window which enables you to contact someone from TTP and ask them questions. I explained my doubt in the chat window and immediately got a response. In fact I asked too many questions till I was absolutely confident about the question and each time I got a quick response. I highly recommend this course. Just close your eyes and get the subscription. The ROI is huge.
