TTP's Quant course helped me achieve a tremendous score in official GMAT test. The first time I attempted GMAT was in 2018 and I scored a mere 36. After that I took a break for about a year and got back to studying GMAT with a serious intention. While I was looking around for courses that would help me achieve my target score, I came across TTP. All I have are praises for this course without any bias. The course helped me strengthen my foundations in all possible imaginable areas of GMAT Quant. It's because of TTP I was able to score Q50 on 10/13/2020. I improved from Q36 to Q49 to Q50! When TTP says they will guarantee your score will be between 47-50 after taking their course; well, they mean it! Scott and team are always there to answer your questions and help you clear your doubts. I would recommend TTP to anyone who wants to score well on GMAT Quant.
I scored a 34Q after 2 months of dedicated self study. After using the TTP program for 2 months I managed to improve to a 47Q on my in person GMAT. The incredibly thorough TTP program allows you to build a deep understanding of all of the skills required for the GMAT Quant section. In addition, TTP's deep catalogue of practice problems will allow you to practice the concepts learned in the the lessons while developing the confidence to excel on test day. Included in the course TTP provides an in-depth guide on the entire GMAT process as well as tips to help you perform your best on test day.
I've been studying for the GMAT intermittently and continued to push back my test date as I was never able to reach my target score on mock exams. My original approach was to drill OG questions, and although that allowed me to become more familiar with the GMAT, I never felt I like I was testing myself with same level of difficulty as the actual exam.
TTP was a game changer for me and helped to drive the score improvements that I was looking for. The program was instrumental in structuring my study approach and pinpoint my weaker subject areas, allowing me to shore up difficult concepts and drive rapid content mastery. I mostly focused on Quant as I was already fairly comfortable with Verbal, but both sections are well organized and the lessons are very digestible. The SC section in particular highlighted concepts that I was not privy to before, which in turn increased my Verbal score pass expectations when I had already mentally "settled" on the section. Highly recommend the course.
My Ding review from Paul Bodine (great admissions consultant) revealed the GMAT to be my biggest weakness - especially the Quant section.
TTP had great reviews so I thought to give it a try in a focused 1.5 month approach with 10h+ per day.
After doing MGMAT last year to prepare, I often thought to myself: "Wow so that is how that is supposed to work?"
Their lessons were great and the approach is so much better than MGMAT, because you are forced to practice a lot for each topic. Practice makes perfect. After ~3000 calculated problems I felt empowered to own the Quant section.
TTP also had a holistic approach with tips on how to prepare best (sports, meditation, focus...) and be your best on test day.
Overall thumbs up!

Initially, I started studying quant through MP books, online practice questions, and CATs. After 1.5 months, I did not notice nearly enough improvement to eventually meet my GMAT goals. I switched to TTP and within 3 months of daily study, I reached the 700+ goal I needed. TTP broke down each subject and I was able to understand it before moving on to the next lesson. Its strategic placement of review tests was pivotal in ensuring that the information learned in previous modules is not forgotten. The diversity of practice problems as well as the repetition of techniques made it so there were no surprise questions/topics on the actual test.

I initially got Manhattan Prep's All The GMAT paper books. It was helpful to have something in hand to read, but otherwise pretty useless. I took the Official Test 1 and got a 690, then two of the Manhattan Prep CATs -- 620/630. The Manhattan Prep CAT's were confusing as all get out, and seemed nothing like the official test. I took a 6 month break after getting insanely frustrated with Manhattan Prep's web portal thing. Hot garbage.
I came back, decided to do TTP because everyone posted about it on reddit. I spent one month blitzing through TTP and got a 770 on test day, 49Q 47V.
TTP raised my Quant by a good 6 points, and took so much pressure of my mind that I was able to settle into Verbal and concentrate through it. It also had a lot of general test taking tips that put me at ease and allowed me to blast death metal on the way to the test knowing I was going to Mess Stuff Up and own the GMAT.
TTP delivered. MP was pasta garbagio.
TTP helped raise my quant score from a Q44 to a Q50. The course content is extremely thorough, and within the first few weeks I was already hitting 47+. Although there is no live tutor, TTP often hosts webinars and makes sure to answer any questions regarding course content as soon as possible. In particular, I was extremely impressed by the intuitive UI and how easily digestible course materials were. While some of the quiz questions are definitely more difficult than what you would find on an actual exam, they definitely work to sharpen students' understanding of the underlying concepts. I absolutely could not have scored a 750 on the GMAT without TTP.
I took the GMAT back in December 2019, and I received a 39 on quant after 6 months of dedicated study. I was about to give up on business school altogether, when I stumbled upon Target Test Prep. I figured, "what do I have to lose?", so I signed up and started the dedicated study.
Target Test Prep is not a study program to teach you quick tricks and gimmicks - it genuinely teaches you how to be a competent quantitative thinker. My "plan" was to just learn the tricks that quant throws at you, and that knowing the gimmicks would get me the high score.
Target Test Prep doesn't do that. It arms you with every single question type available, and drills you with the hardest possible questions in each category.
Once I took my first practice test after Target Test Prep, I was in shock - I genuinely had a deep understanding of the problems, and knew exactly what the GMAT was asking of me.
After 6 months of hard, dedicated study, my quant score went from a meager 39 to a 49.
It's worth noting, that they also added verbal study. I only needed help in the sentence correction category, and Target Test Prep delivered here as well.
It is the first test prep program I have seen that gives you extremely difficult questions, then walks you through them until you understand them. It makes the real GMAT, in comparison, look like a piece of cake.
Anyone who needs to study for the GMAT, do not think twice. Target Test Prep is the clear choice.

TTP is all you need to learn the concepts that are tested on the GMAT. The number of tests at the end of each chapter ensures that you've actually learnt your concepts well. Trust that if you do this course thoroughly, you will easily cross the 47 mark. The must know section is crucial to review all the most important concepts in each chapter. Regularly going through this section and reviewing your weak areas is a must. I really like how well organized and structured this course is. I definitely recommend this course to anyone starting their GMAT prep. Please make sure you use this course 4-6 months before your exam lest you forget your concepts.
I am SO thankful I chose TTP to help me on my journey to a 760! As someone who has always struggled with quant on standardized testing, I felt that TTP taught every core concept I needed and gave me to foundation to succeed. Really wish my math teachers had explained math concepts like this back in high school!
TTP's interface and analytics are straightforward and easy to use, which makes recognizing your weak spots pretty simple. There's also tons of videos that go through approaches for practice problems, and TTP frequently hosts free webinars on various quant topics. I did not use anything besides TTP and OG questions/practice tests to prep, and I felt ready on test day. Don't get me wrong, you've got to put in the work, but with a concerted effort using TTP's modules, I think anyone can achieve a high quant score.
I'd initially been hoping to just score in the low 700s, but over time, TTP actually made me feel *good* at math (huge! I've always felt slower w/ math) and know how to attack each problem. I am naturally gifted on the verbal side so I minimally studied for it, but from what I saw of the beta version of TTP's verbal offerings, it really drilled the fundamentals needed to crush verbal.
Get TTP. You won't be disappointed.
