Target Test Prep was an incredibly valuable tool in my preparation for the GMAT. The way the topics were broken down lesson by lesson was very helpful to learn material and the quizzes reinforced them. The course takes dedication to go through lessons and quizzes with proper review. I estimate it took me about 2.5-3 months to complete the Quant portion of the course. My studying consisted of 1-3 hours per day during the week and about 4 hours per day on weekends. Ultimately, I was very pleased to score a Q49 on the online GMAT (no whiteboard) and feel Target Test Prep alone helped get me there. This course is helpful for anyone from beginner to advanced and can really help fine tune your skills.

TLDR: TTP has the best preparation course for the Quant section. I highly recommend you sign up for the 6 month package if you are not already scoring near your desired score. If you're near your score, or you want test it out, then I would suggest you try the monthly plan.

I have a full-time job, so I signed up for TTP's "Dedicated Study" package as I knew I would require a lot of study time. I was unaware of how far behind I was in Quant until taking their Diagnostic Test (take this before deciding on which package is best for you). Studying 2 hours every morning before work and still did not finish up their course before the 4-month window. But, it is definitely worth the time.

TTP does not teach you one method for solving a problem and expect you to apply it moving forward. Rather, you are given a large assortment within that topic and are tested on every possible way the exam may test this topic. Sometimes it will feel overdone, but it is well worth the time for the confidence and knowledge it builds.

If you are a more advanced individual in Quant, this may appear to be tedious at times. I would recommend that you choose TTP's "Accelerated Study Plan". Use the "Custom Test" functions to study Hard question types. I use this for weekly reviews on sections I've already completed, it helps you understand what fundamentals you may be missing. Then, you can brush up on those topics.

Overall, I think TTP is the best Quant service in the market. There are options for those that need a more targeted study and options for those that need to start with the fundamentals. The only people I would not recommend TTP for is anyone that wants strategies for the "best guess" or want a quick improvement on their score without the time/effort. If you're willing to put in the time, this is the best course for you.

I went through the whole Quant course - and yes, it can sometimes be overwhelming - but when I concluded the course I knew I had all the foundations needed to get a good Quant score. After concluding the course, during my last 3 weeks of preparation I kept studying timing strategies by practicing oficial questions until I was confident to hit my target score, and I was able to see my Quant score goes up every mock. So by the day of my oficial GMAT I was felling confident that would reach at least a Q48 and I did it! I appreciate Target good job and I believe their phases style course is just what you need for Quant.

The target test prep has been very useful in my preparation. It was condensed and organized that I could finish each module with relative ease. It was also really deep in terms of depth. Lots of information. One thing I wish the Target Test Prep would have is that it should have a discussion or comments section for each page or each module. Additionally, now that it has a verbal section, this program has been even more useful than before. The verbal questions are not the most ideal. Think it's a bit subjective. However it is still a good resource.

Like most people, I started with Manhattan Prep's "All the Quant" and, quite frankly, it was just not much more than a thorough description of each skill tested. It just did not do much for me and I did not feel confident in any of the quant (nor verbal) sections of the MGMAT tests (I started with 40Q and hovered around that number). I theoretically knew that I needed to "fill in gaps," but I had no idea where I was lacking; honestly, I felt like I needed help in everything.

I've heard enough about TTP and I was sold after the initial week trial. Having prior teaching experience, this is best practice - diagnose your current level of performance, then fill in the gaps. I no longer having access to TTP since my membership expired, but I started really sub-par. If I recall correctly, the program questioned my desire for 49-51Q based on my diagnostic, but I knew what I wanted! TTP does a fantastic job of providing exemplar questions for each question and skill type, content that Manhattan Prep lacked.

TTP is a marathon. I spent between 2-5 hours a day on TTP (I wanted to give up during Number Properties), but it was certainly worthwhile. IMO there aren't quick fixes or shortcuts to the GMAT. Invest the time in a program like TTP and you will definitely see gains - not just in your score, but your confidence.

Thank you, Scott, Jeff and team!

TTP is 110% worth the money. The quant is without question the best option if you're serious about getting a very high score and are willing to put in the time and effort to do it right. The verbal, while not complete yet, looks VERY promising, and taught sentence correction in a way that progressed and felt logical 100% of the way through. I went from getting 8 sentence correction questions wrong on Official practice tests to 1 or 2. Their explanations were much better than the official material which I was using to supplement the TTP Verbal due to the lack of Chapter Tests at the time. The results speak for themselves, I got a 760 (Q48 V47) thanks to the incremental and exhaustive content from TTP.

Be warned, this is not a good option for people with extremely limited time to study or who just want to hammer out a "good enough" score. It is built to take 100+ hours of study to get you into the Q48+ range and doesn't really have a good option to rush if you are just looking to get over a minimum threshold of 650 or something. I spent 4+ hours a day studying with TTP to get my score, don't expect to get similar results in a month without dedicating serious time and effort.

I began my test preparation with a diagnostic test. Despite a full-time career in a quantitative role, I quickly realized regression analysis and microsoft excel shortcuts don't translate 1:1 to a quality quant score, and quant was revealed as my greatest weakness. After reading through some of the glowing reviews on here, I decided to give the free trial of TTP a try. Early on I liked the format. The structure of really learning the concepts tested on the GMAT through lecture and then repetitive practice really resonated with me. Additionally, as someone with better short-term memory than long-term, by bringing back old concepts each chapter with the review test, everything was kept fresh in my mind. I ended up scoring a 49 in quant, and I owe it all to TTP. If you are struggling with quant, give the free trial a go at least to see if the format gels as well with you as it did with me. Good luck!

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.

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.
