Strengths:
flexible, fits to yoru own pace and schedule, the ability to come back to a chapter to do review.
great service, i mean i prepped for one month and got 705. can't complain. i mean I'm a lawyer by trade and I haven't touched math since freshman year. TargetTest Prep was able to get me ready for the quant section, and I actually outscored my verbal section. While I didn't prep much for the verbal section given my law school and bar exam background, but the explanation was good, and I was able to speed through the verbal course.
The training on the new DI section was definitely on point as well. I wouldn't have it another way, I recommend their flexible study plan for anyone that is preparing for GMAT part-time, or is in a time crunch like me.
Strengths:
The course is extremely structured and is perhaps one of the most comprehensive course you can find for your prep. The product was so good (especially the quant section) that I did not have to focus on anything except TTP.
Would make the product better:
Perhaps the verbal can have some more questions to practise. The pool is limited in terms of the number of questions. Additionally, the level of questions are quite advanced specially CR than what one would typically find in the exam.
I initially joined TTP with some hesitation, opting for their 5-day trial. However, after just two days of using their resources, I decided to commit to the Flexi plan. Over the next three months, TTP played a pivotal role in significantly enhancing my Quant and Verbal skills, elevating my scores from Q44, V29 to Q49-50, V34-36 respectively.
The course's well-organized structure made it easy to follow, and the instructors were approachable and provided clear responses within three hours. The tight-knit TTP community offered invaluable support, addressing all my doubts with clarity. I wholeheartedly recommend TTP to anyone starting their GMAT journey. It not only helped me progress from a 580 to a 700 level but also became instrumental in my success on the exam. Without TTP, I'm unsure how I would have managed to crack the GMAT.

Strengths:
TTP is extremely comprehensive and goes through each concept with extreme detail. There are loads of questions for each topic. The team is really helpful and responsive. You can go at your own pace and the custom tests are helpful.
Would make the product better:
The questions could be closer to the official GMAT questions. You still need a little bit of supplementing with OG questions for full preparation. More verbal questions could be good.
Target Test Prep is extremely comprehensive and goes through each concept with extreme detail. There are loads of questions for each topic. The team is really helpful and responsive. You can go at your own pace and the custom tests are helpful. It's important that you dedicate a lot of time to your GMAT Prep. I would recommend at minimum 4 months of TTP to get through all the modules. It took me a total of 6 months to complete the whole course. The types of problems are similar to the official questions, but overall they could be a little bit closer.
Strengths:
Adaptability, fast respond staff, strategic approach to the test
Would make the product better:
Not a big deal, but I would give trial live classes to the platform users in order to see if this better suits their learning style
I started my preparation for the GMAT 5 months before the application deadline, and after exploring a ton of options, a friend introduced TTP to me. Considering I was aiming to take the Focus edition, the update they made to their platform matched perfectly with my goals.
In general, as a self-taught person, I found at TTP a platform that let me create my own path but also gave me constant and strong advice in the process. However, it is the customization that makes you feel that the platform suits your style. From a task oriented path to a calendar base one, written solutions to a problem or a video that feels like having your own private teacher, you could even focus your preparation on answering some problems from the unlimited database or reading all the theory that the platform has prepared for you. I think most people would find a tailor made ally in TTP.
The analytics they use to enhance your preparation would feed you with accurate feedback on how you are performing, making this complex process of learning or just recalling topics you saw at college, much more efficient.
As a conclusion, I would definitely recommend TTP to be your companion during this whole GMAT process.
Strengths:
The course structure of the TTP course is outstanding, and it really helps ease the mind and to not worry about deciding what to study each day, and allows users to focus their mental power on studying.
I felt the questions were almost if not identical to the questions I encountered in official GMAT practice tests and the real GMAT. This made me feel very confident that I was studying the right material.
Would make the product better:
The amount of sentence correction questions TTP has could be extended, especially the hard category.
I used TTP course as my only preparation for the GMAT (without considering the official practice exams)
I found TTP's course structure easy to follow, and removed the mental stress to figure out my own course structure, I could dedicate my whole time to study.
As for the content, I think both Quant and Verbal are tought brilliantly, the course curriculum covers everything you need to know for the GMAT, the explanations are very clear, and the questions resemble the GMAT perfectly, when I took the practice tests/offical test I din't feel any difference vs the TTP questions.
Overall, I am very happy with my TTP experience and would definately reccomend to anyone looking to get an excellent GMAT score
Strengths:
The program is definitely tailored to the material covered on the GMAT. They teach you a lot of methods that work for GMAT questions. I've used other test prep resources like Manhattan Prep, and the lessons in those books felt aimless in comparison.
Would make the product better:
Some of the material and questions can feel grindy. You definitely don't need to complete all of the practice questions to get a great score on GMAT exam. Once you grasp the high level concepts, it's all about executing on test day.
I came into the program with already a solid GMAT score but I was hoping to use the program to get a truly exceptional score. I knew completing the last mile would require a considerable amount of effort since it's a lot easier to go from 600-720 than 720-760. The TTP program reinforced my fundamentals in basic math and grammar, as well as teaching me useful methods to break down more advanced questions. I feel like after going through the program, there's no limit on how high I can score on the GMAT exam. I've gotten perfect scores on each section for my mock exams. It's just about bringing everything together and executing on test day.

Strengths:
Design, question bank, strategies to tackle questions and exam day
Would make the product better:
I would potentially add a mode for online exam takers that would mimic the conditions of having a supervisor that might distract you in the middle of a section
I used TTP for 1.5 months before the exam, and I could not be happier with the platform. First, the design of the website is convenient and full of useful features. Second, the depth of the bank of questions impressed me, with TTP providing wide arrays of problems across difficulty and subjects. Third, I found the lessons across sections very insightful. During my studies, I have significantly shortened the average amount of time per problem. Finally, the exam day strategies have also proved very effective. Specifically, I found time management tips helpful for my preparation
Highly recommended for anyone looking to take GMAT Focus Edition
Strengths:
Comprehensive coverage of content.
Simplifies complex topics into easy to understand concepts which can be applied to easy, medium, and hard questions.
Study plan is organized and very easy to follow.
Consistent content reviews and quizzes help to measure progress.

Strengths:
Phenomenal product for improving quantitative skills in anticipation of the exam. Comprehensive review of grammar and sentence structure to assist with verbal exam.
Would make the product better:
Disperse modules between practice exam periods.
Target Test Prep enabled me to overcome a compressed preparation timeline and score adequately enough to gain admittance to a Top 25 Program. Through comprehensive lessons on all quantitative topics coupled with relevant examples, Target Test Prep ensured there were no surprises in terms of math problem formatting on test day. The practice exams simulated the live test environment in a way that made pacing simple and enabled effective troubleshooting methods to be developed. The comprehensive approach to teaching grammar assisted greatly with troubleshooting sentence structure problems. The program is scalable and thus supports intensive preparation on a shorter timeline if necessary while also facilitating gradual preparation for an exam more than 3 months in the future.
