TTP is an incredibly thorough course and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone who plans on giving gmat. The quants are super thorough and the amount of practice one can do from the course is more than enough for a substantial score improvement. Quant & CR are very well designed and the tests in SC also give you an accurate estimation of where you stand.
The language of questions can be tweaked to match the language of official quant questions. While TTP provides somewhat straightforward questions to hammer concepts, it can also include a mix of more OG type questions to provide a more accurate stat about accuracy on the real test.
Strengths:
Flexible
Easy to follow
Thorough
Not too expensive
I loved the written concept explanations and the videos for the actual problem solving. Their plans are flexible and easy to follow. Not too much work on any given day. I was really struggling with the quant section of the gmat and decided to go all in and only study for Quant through TTP. This really helped me just focus on the quant and then I ended up scoring 710 overall and was more relaxed during the actual exam.
While I didn't score the best I could on Quant overall I think I was able to use less brain power on the Q section (I took this first) and then use more of my strengths on the Verbal section.
TTP is a great resource for your GMAT preparation, especially when you are just starting out. Their interactive interface keeps you engaged and going when you may not have 100% clarity on the curriculum and attention areas for yourself. The math concepts are clear and comprehensive. Highly recommend!

Strengths:
Basics are completely covered. One can cover the course starting from scratch and end up easily with a 720+ score. Both Quant and Verbal were covered in detail with chapter wise segregation along with examples and sectional tests. All one needs to do is follow the course instructions and be assured.
Would make the product better:
There is almost everything covered in the course. I would recommend to increase the example and test problems in RC section.
I was scoring around 630 on the GMAT Mocks and was clueless about how to handle the Verbal section especially. I was scoring around 28 to 30 on the GMAT Verbal. RC and SC were main concerns for me as I did not have an approach to go with. I realized that I needed to start with basics of SC and RC. I enrolled for the TTP Dedicated Study plan and started focusing on individual areas of each section. I improved heavily on SC and RC scoring around 85% on the Example and Sectional Test questions. Once I attempted official mocks after completing the TTP course, I was scoring around 740. On the test day, I was confident of a 730+ score. I scored 760.
Strengths:
-Comprehensive Quant and Verbal material
-Flexible Self-Study course - perfect for busy schedule
-Great customer support
-Guidance on best practices to prepare for test
Would make the product better:
Sentence correction got into details not often tested. Would have appreciated a warning that it's fine not to get 100% of the Hard questions
Fantastic course for self-study. I used to improve my score from a 590 to 740 in 4 months time. It took me about 3 months to get through all the fundamental material and from there I started using a combination of TTP questions and official GMAT practice tests to get ready for the actual exam.
Their flexible program was great for someone who works in consulting and can have a varying schedule. They also have a calendar that helps you pace yourself (although I found that for me, alternating between verbal and quant throughout my study process allowed me to feel motivated and not get too overloaded with one topic). Also, they have great guidance on the best ways to study, such as not feeling the need to use the dry erase board right away until a month before taking the test.
I recommend it to all my friends starting the GMAT study process or ones that need to strengthen up in certain areas (especially in quant). Some other things to note are that the customer service is fantastic and they'll get back to you very quickly about any questions you may have.

Strengths:
For sure the structure of the program. Being able to just log on and follow the course is significantly easier than trying to self-study and make sure that you cover all of the topics especially of you are juggling other major commitments (e.g., school, work). It is also extremely helpful for making sure that you have mastered the concepts that you needed to by giving you a, sometimes, overwhelming number of tests. This is particularly useful for Quant, however, as it allows you to drill in all of these topics.
Would make the product better:
The verbal section was honestly not the easiest to understand for me as a native English speaker. More specifically the sentence correction was difficult for me to understand.
Definitely one of the best ways to do exceedingly well on the Quant. The structure of the program and amount of resources given make preparing for the test rather easy. That is not to say that the test or prep is easy, but it makes life much easier when you only have to do the material in the course to know that you're learning as opposed to self-studiying and not being sure. As most people say, TTP is a god-send for Quant. Went from Q35 on a free mba.com practice test to Q50 on the real test. I only had to take the GMAT ONCE!

Strengths:
Both the verbal and quantitative part of the course are well put together. I would say the core strength of the product is the helpful planning tool, ensuring that you have assignments for everyday, and the problem explanations given to each question.
Would make the product better:
Overall, I would say that the course covers all elements of the GMAT very well. However, towards the end, I felt that the really difficult questions of the quant section were not sufficiently covered in the problems of the TTP course. Obviously it is difficult to cover everything, but I would rather not have had to resort to GMATClub's forums for additional questions (despite it ultimately being very helpful).
The TTP course is extremely comprehensive, adequately covering all important aspects of a proper GMAT prep. I was especially nervous about how the verbal section of the GMAT would work, and I was delighted to learn that the course covers all elements. The video guides, course explanations, and problem reviews are all very helpful.
I had zero knowledge of the GMAT before embarking on my search for a preparation product. Despite TTP being the only one I've tried, I think it's safe to say that it was a great choice. The planning tool helped me with adjusting my daily life to the preparation, and was essential in ensuring proper balance between my job and prep.
Strengths:
Lesson structure and power of tips

Target Test Prep was the only service i used, as it was highly recommended by friends that took the test in the past. I loved how the lessons were structured and how they complemented each other so as to not let me forget previously learned lessons. Every answer was clearly explained, and it helped me improve my quant skills immensely. The option to practice different question sets that you could customize in terms of topics and difficulty was also great and allowed me to practice my weakest topics in an easy way. I would gladly recommend this course to anyone who would ask.

Strengths:
Verbal section that prepares candidates to tackle tough Verbal question.
Best in business Quant course.
Very well structured, designed to make people good at giving GMAT period. It it to the point, and yet comprehensive to cover all aspects of the exam. The Quant section is the best in the busienss and Verbal covers all aspects of GMAT Verbal to enable one to score high in it. Trusting the TTP process is easy because of its high quality questions and course design thats tailor-made for test-day success. TTP covers everything, from methods needed to solve challenging questions to strategies needed outside of studying to achieve a high score. Best part is that the TTP course is designed to include lessons, practice, revision and test in a predefined topic-wise sequence, leaving the students with the task of only following the step by step plan offered.

Increase verbal practice
An incredible self-study program that taught me the concepts I needed to understand to approach the GMAT confidently on test day. The content of this course should not be understated. I never felt like I needed a clarification or that information wasn't clear. Further, the analytics side of the course really helped me target my problem areas when I kept making the same mistakes. Perhaps most of all, when I did need extra support I could easily reach out to the folks at TTP and work with them to figure out what the next step on my learning journey would be. The best self-study platform coupled with real, meaningful service from the company.
