I really only have good things to say about this course

I started my GMAT focus journey back in December 2023, taking my first ever official practice test with no prior preparation. I scored a 635 with a glaring weakness - quant. As a senior in my undergraduate studies planning to apply to deferred MBA programs, I only had a few months to practice and take the actual exam. After mulling over my options, I decided that TTP was overwhelmingly recommended as the best resource for improving your GMAT score (I believe this to be the case as well). I spent about 2 months on studying from early January to early March, completing the course in just under 200 hours. I was already very confident in my verbal abilities so I opted to skip most of TTP's verbal section (However, I did do a few sections and it was also very comprehensive and similar to the actual GMAT focus). I took the actual GMAT focus exam a few days ago and fortunately received a score of 755. TTP is the only resource I used and I'm beyond happy with how effective it was. I genuinely believe that TTP is the only resource that you need outside of the official GMAT focus questions and practice tests. In my case, I didn't even practice with official questions as I felt that the TTP questions were sufficient.

Strengths:

Its a great solution for people who have no clear idea how to start, the content is well organized, and the study plan is realistic and helpful. I truly believe that the short examples are really helpful in making sure that you're understanding what you're studying. Overall the product is a one-stop solution.

Would make the product better:

I think that it could be great to have even more examples on the verbal section, the content was great, but I'd like to see more examples and more practice from this section.

Target Test Prep (TTP) proved to be an invaluable resource in my GMAT preparation, especially for enhancing my speed and accuracy in the quantitative section. TTP offers an incredibly structured and comprehensive course, breaking down complex mathematical concepts into understandable lessons. The verbal preparation is also great because it teaches you the best ways to approach and answer these types of questions. The course's progression from basic to advanced topics solidified my foundational knowledge, allowing for a smoother transition into tackling higher difficulty problems.

What sets TTP apart is its vast repository of practice questions and tests, closely mirroring the GMAT's style and difficulty. This extensive practice significantly improved my problem-solving speed and helped fine-tune my accuracy, teaching me efficient methods to approach each question. Moreover, TTP's analytics offered deep insights into my performance, highlighting areas for improvement and tracking my progress over time.

Strengths:

TTP takes a holistic approach and has a very thorough guideline on GMAT. While working a full time job and being away from studies, TTP is just what I needed to make sure I had complete preparation

Would make the product better:

Adaptive scoring can be added to make the experience more authentic and more mocks would be beneficial

I would recommend TTP for anyone starting their GMAT prep. It has everything and the course structure is excellent. The quant section is great for anyone out of touch with maths. For the verbal, I found the answer explanations to be on point and especially the chapter tests were very helpful in reassessing problems and readjusting my prep.
In addition to that, please use the custom test feature as it allows you to make sure you can target your weakest segments. I got over my quant problems with this feature and was able to pin point a lot of knowledge gaps.
In summary, do not only go for the highest difficulty level questions and dedicate time to the course, It does pay off.

Strengths:

1. Course structure - The overall structure and sequence of different chapters, along with the sequential verbal vs. quant lessons, is very intuitive and keeps the preparation interesting. It also helps to avoid feeling fatigued.

2. Diagnostic test - The diagnostic test offered by TTP is, I believe, more accurate than tests offered by any other course, regarding a student's position at the beginning of preparation.

3. Practice Questions - TTP has hundreds of practice questions for each difficulty level. My preparation would not have been successful had it not been for the huge question bank that TTP had to offer

4. On-Target Analytics - TTP offers an intuitive and creative platform to keep track of your strengths and weaknesses. It also allows you to note and record your mistakes over the course. These features are extremely helpful, especially in the last 2 weeks when students are typically focused on improving on their weakest topics.

5. FAQs on practice questions - I noticed that TTP had also added FAQs to the explanation of certain practice questions which was very insightful. For online platforms, even though a comprehensive explanation is provided, it is really beneficial to learn what other students were thinking about when they read the question.

Would make the product better:

1. Add a few more practice questions for critical reasoning and reading comprehension.

2. Re-structure the quant tests in a way that students are not required to do all of the chapter tests right after the chapter ends. Instead, some of these tests can be sprinkled around throughout the course which will allow students to also revise older topics.

Overall, I believe Target Test Prep is the perfect tool for your GMAT preparation. The comprehensiveness of the course is unmatched, and the platform in itself is very intuitive. The lessons are extremely detailed and cover all relevant aspects of any topic. I used target test prep for ~3 months and was able to score 695 on the GMAT focus exam. Tbh, TTP equipped me well enough to score even higher but a careless mistake during the exam cost me significantly.

To anyone thinking about starting their GMAT prep, especially working professionals, I would 100% recommend checking out TTP, at least check out the free 5-day trial. One of the best things about the course is it's structured in a manner that even if you spend 1-2 hours on it every day, the bite-sized portions (lessons and tests) are tracked to show the level of progress which also gives you mental peace.

Strengths:

The program offers an in-depth review of everything that could possibly appear in the GMAT. One of the biggest strengths is that the program has SO MANY exercises to practice, and the program pushes you to practice every topic so many times that in the end you become advanced in that topic. The Verbal learning experience is very good for non-native English speakers like me.
Additionally, the program includes several tools that I found very useful: the error tracker, the "must know" cards, and the detailed explanations of every single question.
Some bonus tools that I liked in the program are the video of the day and the strategy lessons. These were definitely very helpful to prepare mentally for the test.

Would make the product better:

The program is longer than I expected. I had to invest several additional months in my preparation. In the end it was worth it, but be prepared to put in many many hours, especially if you come from a non-English speaking country or from a country that does not normally offer top Math education in high school (this was my case).

Overall TTP is an excellent program for people looking to improve their score or to achieve a high (or very high) GMAT score. The program let's you choose your target score range and it creates an ideal study plan for you. You literally just have to sit down and do what it recommends. The program goes into as much detail as you want and it has several features that will help you in your preparation. The program requires heavy time investment from yourself, but hey this is the GMAT and it is not an easy process!
TTP is definitely a better program than other programs I tried in the past (tried two programs a couple years ago), so I recommend TTP all the way.

Strengths:

The Quant section is really well laid out. I learned a lot of tricks that helped me crack the GMAT and I felt very well supported.

Would make the product better:

The verbal section has room for improvement.

I loved the program. I improved by 70 points through the program. Before I started, I didn't remember a lot of the basic math covered by the GMAT. I took the chapter quizzes to see where I was weak and then looked at the supplementary material to deep dive into those sections. I loved the example exercises and the videos that walked through the solutions. It was very helpful for my learning. TTP taught many tips and tricks that helped me to solve math problems faster which is a must on the GMAT. The verbal section is not as strong but the Quant section was a life saver. Thank you for the great program!

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.

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:

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.
