Benefitted greatly from the Target Test Prep program. Through the use of the program, I improved my quant score from the high 30s/low 40s range to a 50 and improved my verbal from mid 30s to a 42. After completing their quant section, I felt prepared for every type of question that the GMAT could throw at me. Their verbal section was a great but I would have liked more practice questions (definitely struggled with verbal section more than quant). But I also completed GMAT Club verbal tests/forum questions and felt the combination of both sites provided more than enough material.

The TTP Syllabus is an excellent addition for anyone preparing for the GMAT. It covers all exam topics but can be easily adapted to individual needs. The division between topics is very clear and the examples provided are excellent. There are also many practice tests for each topic covered in the GMAT. This is an excellent resource. The Target Test Prep GMAT Quant course is perfect for improving your quant score. I have used this course for self-study for 4 months and found it very helpful. The exercises are the most realistic I have ever seen. The solution is the clearest and most comprehensive I've read. The learning platform is student-friendly and enables rapid progress. In general, this course is beneficial and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to improve their score.

I would highly recommend TTP for GMAT prep. What I love most about it is that they have every lesson broken down into chapters, and tests/quiz after each chapter to reinforce that concept. This requires more concentration than video lectures and initially might seem more difficult, but it's a much more efficient way to learn and understand concepts.

I also love being able to create quizzes and analyze my mistakes allowing me to focus my efforts better. On top of their great material, their UI is really nice as well and makes studying a lot more pleasing.

I would encourage everyone to take their free trial. They provide access to the full course and no review can tell you as much as the real thing. I'm not surprised at all that they are the top rated course.

First of all, my English comprehension level is pretty high (every day I read news that cover advanced topics such as politics and economy), so my review of the Verbal part of the course may be overly critical.

The Good (there are many, but these are the most important for me):
-The lessons are written only, which suits my learning style. If the student prefers videos, then I suggest to look elsewhere, since the only videos that this course offers are the ones that solve the questions presented in the lessons.
-The written lessons are short and easy to understand, so you wont get bored easily.
-The difficulty and type of questions were very similar to the ones presented in the GMAT test.
-I liked that for every question I could see the percentage of people who got it right and the average time.

The no so Good:
-Although I did learn a few new topics for SC, the CR and RC didn't teach me anything new. The tips on how to approach these questions didn't resonate with me, because I thought they were too time consuming. Sticking to my own way of solving these questions worked for me, but for a more intermediate student, the tips may be more helpful.
-Though the analytics section is interesting, I found it a bit gimmicky and not that useful. The problem is that the topics have varying number of questions. some have just 15 hard questions, while others have more than 90. Thus, a single silly mistake in an easy topic that has few questions is going to make it look like it's a weak area for you, even though you know it really isn't.
-I would suggest TTP to improve the error log. I would've prefered to see all my wrong questions at first and then have filters by topic, reason for the error, difficulty, etc.. The way it's currently presented is too cumbersome and time consuming, because I need to first select the topic and then the type of error.
-My biggest gripe was the fact that there was no question forum. Particularly for certain CR questions that I think had wrong correct answers, I would've liked to express my objection and why I thought the correct answer was wrong. However, there's no way to do it, which made me very frustrated.

Overall, I think TTP is very solid for the price. Most of the people I know have studied in classes that cost over USD 1000, but I wanted to save money. The result was that I only took one test and already got a score way higher than I expected. Particularly grateful for the Math section of the course, which helped me go from almost zero knowledge to a respectable 48.

I read a bunch of reviews online before ultimately deciding on TTP to start my GMAT prep journey!
The course was very comprehensive and extremely user-friendly! I've been out of school for a while and really needed to review basic Math fundamentals. Every concept you need to know for the GMAT was explained really well and the tips and tricks that were provided (especially for harder topics such as stats, probability and overlapping sets) were golden! You can never go wrong with the matrix set-up that's taught for handling mixtures and overlapping sets questions.
I whole-heartedly recommend TTP to anyone who is looking for a comprehensive, in-depth course that gives you a great foundation to set you up for success on the GMAT. My Q49 would not have been possible without TTP!

I used TTP primarily for quant and saw an improvement from Q44 to Q48 in roughly 3 months of 3-4 hours of practice a week. The concepts were well explained, and if I had put in a bit more effort, I'm certain I would have hit Q50. My weakest area was number properties, and TTP's content in that first module is extensive! I also think the video explanations for each practice question are invaluable, as they showed me how to change my thinking around certain question types. I didn't finish the material, stopped halfway due to work, and decided to just get the GMAT done with, and got a good score so ended my GMAT journey.

Target Test Prep is an excellent GMAT course. The course is well suited for students at all levels of GMAT scores. The Target Test Prep course carefully analyses a student's strengths and weaknesses and designs the course accordingly. The course has a nuanced set of Quantitative Reasoning lessons and tests. It also includes a wide variety of topics and types of lessons and questions found in the Verbal Reasoning section.
None of the courses are perfect, but I feel that Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam. I think this is the best characteristic of the Target Test Prep course. Also, the course is reasonable in terms of price. I will highly recommend Target Test Prep for all kinds of GMAT aspirants.

I had started my test prep with other books and found myself having to google concepts separately to fully understand them. As a result, I decided to give the TTP free trial a shot and see how those concepts were explained there. After spending about 10 minutes on the rate, time, distance lessons, it seemed like a no brainer that I had to switch my preparation to TTP. The course is so comprehensive, but the lessons feel very approachable and slowly build on one another so that it feels effortless to master tougher quant concepts.

I know TTP highly recommends following the study plan exactly, and I think if I had done so I would have achieved a higher quant score. I used the flexible plan to go through the lessons on TTP quant and did a few chapter tests in weak areas. Even just doing this though, I feel like I got a lot more return on my investment than I would have got by studying from a book. So if you're intimidated by the time commitment of TTP, I would highly recommend the flexible plan to go through lessons and examples (it's way superior to what you will find in a comparably priced book). The option to ask questions is also fantastic. Jeff answered 2 of my questions on concepts very promptly and gave great explanations.

Finally, I did not use TTP verbal much because I had a decent baseline score, but I came across a few points that Marty emphasized which really stuck with me and boosted my verbal score beyond 40. For example, TTP made me realize that pre thinking in CR does always not work and can waste your time.

Choosing Target Test Prep was the best decision I made in GMAT study. I started with using TTP only for quant and was able to hit a Q48 in an official test. I used Manhattan for verbal and could not crack V38. When I then used TTP for verbal, I was brought up my verbal score to V46 on test day!! TTP Quant is the gold standard, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the lessons and then the quizzes at the end. Everything was taught in an easy to follow and understand way.

I would say that TTP also has the best course for verbal (after doing Manhattan and only getting to V38). TTP's sentence correction modules are fantastic. I not only memorized all important grammar rules, but also understood them, which is important for more difficult questions. The Critical Reasoning module was also great and very difficult. Test day felt like a breeze after working through the TTP problems. I purchased my ESR to review how I did after the test and missed ~2 questions in SC, 0 in RC, and ~2 in CR.

I used TTP more for quants than for verbal. The chapters are so intensive, they will literally teach you everything so that on the test day, you can minimise your brainstorming. After every chapter, they have chapter tests. they have diagnostic tests as well. They have high-quality questions, questions that are very easy but play on your psyche and trick you easily. Their verbal is also fantastic although Egmat is better if you are a non-native speaker. They provide you with a specialized study plan as well. Take this course at least 4 months from your target GMAT date because it is very detailed and takes a lot of time if you want to utilize it fully. To be safe, take it before 6 months and build pace over time.
