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.

Coursework, pacing.

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.
Strengths:
The entire product was absolutely spectacular on the quant side.
Would make the product better:
The verbal side could use some fine tuning (I felt that the CR/RC section had a little too much redundant information)
TTP is absolutely spectacular man.... My first dry score at the gmat was a 520, Q32/V34. Both sections were also UNTIMED, meaning that my skill gap was arguably much worse than what the 520 reflects. Well, after a year, and easily 1000 hours of work, I have just gotten my official score of 760 - Q48,V46,IR7,AWA6. Now look. The TTP course takes a lot of time. I would say about 500 of these hours are attributable solely to their platform. But for individuals who need to build the skills up the time is necessary and TTP gives you all the tools. I would not have been able to have this improvement without the team. I wish I could give them 10 stars. You cannot go wrong with TTP!
Strengths:
Lessons are very easy to follow and comprehensive of everything you'll find on the actual exam. Lots of bonus tools to create a study schedule, track learning progress, and compare all previous practice exam scores. Lots of practice questions (especially quant, which I needed the most).
Would make the product better:
A dedicated question bank may be useful-- However, I used an online question bank through the GMAT Official Guide 2022 for this purpose throughout my last month of studying and it filled that gap for me.
Started TTP after a friend of mine earned a 740 score. Because I've previously been a poor standardized test taker, I thought my natural ceiling would be closer to a ~710, but while progressing through the lessons I realized I may be able to go higher. I eventually got a 760 on my second attempt!
TTP has basically everything someone would need to get whatever score they want, as long as they're ready to put in the work. I studied for several hundred hours over the course of 9-10 months, but I'm glad I took my time and went at my own pace. TTP helped transform studying for/taking the GMAT into an encouraging process, where I now feel more ready and confident to apply to business school. Would highly recommend!
When I first took the GMAT with no prep to establish a baseline for myself, I scored a 710. My friend had recommended I try out TTP, so I decided to purchase the 4-month course to give it a shot. From January 2023 to May 2023, I worked exclusively with the material TTP had offered. After taking official mocks 3-6 afterward, I scored 760s with Q range 50-51/V range 40-42/IR 8.
On the official GMAT, I scored a 760- Q50/V44/IR8. My average analytics on the course was 2hrs and 16 mins per day for 4 months; if you are capable of committing some time to study for the GMAT, I would 100% recommend TTP. Furthermore, I would even encourage you to pair this with other free resources to further enhance your learning. Although I exclusively used TTP, I don't see any drawbacks to pairing a powerful learning tool like TTP with other resources.

Interactive Interface, practice questions, custom tests

Target Test Prep is the best service in the business. At the start of my prep I thought I was overly ambitious when setting my target score to 750, but did not feel surprised at all when I surpassed it on test day. Prior to starting TTP I had tried both Magoosh and Manhattan Prep and struggled to attain a quantitative score of 40. I had exhausted all of the OG questions and was beginning to think a score of 650 was out of reach, let alone 700 +. Enrolling in TTP was the best decision I made. The course provides nearly 400 comprehensive lessons covering each subject that the GMAT tests. There are thousands of practice questions, and each lesson tests you throughout. I often find myself going on autopilot and skimming through textbook reading, but the interactive interface of TTP kept me engaged for the entirety of my journey. When test day arrived, I knew I had the skills necessary to achieve the score of my dreams, all I had to do was execute. TTP instilled in me the confidence necessary to score in the 99th percentile. Trust The Process! TTP is what you need to ace the GMAT!
