I took the GMAT three times over the course of a few years and TTP was finally the prep resource that clicked with me. The lessons are simple and easy to understand, and so much repetitive practice is baked into the lessons. The cadence of problem questions and reviews in the self-study plan made me confident that I fully understood the concepts I was learning.
I thought the lessons were very strong in both Verbal and Quant. They have a few helpful tips for AWA section as well. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend TTP's materials and will be telling my friends to use them as well.

I only studied the quantitative section due to lack of time so I will be reviewing that. I took my first test half a year ago and scored a 625. Despite crushing verbal (might have been better than my actual score ironically), I remember barely performing better than 50% of test takers on the quant section. Not having taken real math since my senior year of high school was definitely impacting and worrying me, and decided to enroll in Target Test Prep after reading positive reviews. Each month from January was a gradual ramp in time studied from the prior, but if I had to average it out during the 6 months it was close to 2-3 hours 5/6 days of the week. I read all the lessons and did all the problems which was great as the course is very focused on teaching you the actual concepts that underlie the GMAT. Even more helpful were all the variations of the concepts including the strange and uncommon ones that only the GMAT would test you on. I managed to get a 730 with a 49Q and can solely thank Target Test Prep as I admit my base was pretty weak before studying.

My first official GMAT score was a 650 (Q48, V31). This score came after many hours of preparation through a different company / program. I was extremely disappointed and felt that I still wasn't strong or confident enough in verbal.

After some research and googling, I found target test prep and gave it a shot knowing that they had just released their verbal program (I already knew that target test prep was amazing for their quant program).

I essentially completed the entire program from start to finish (quant + verbal). It took me several months but I credit the program for my improved official score of 720 (Q49, V38). The structure of the quant program was fantastic and it helped me solidify all of the quant concepts. The verbal section of the program taught me new concepts that my previous program didn't. Overall, I was really impressed with the verbal part of their program.

For me specifically, I really appreciated all of the practical advice that they gave me when it came to coping with exam stress/anxiety. You see, my score of 720 was actually my third attempt. I wrote the exam one month before this score and completely fell off the rails and scored 620 (even though I was consistently scoring 700+ on my practice exams). I was originally super confident because of all the prep I did with target test prep, but I just had a bad day and scored poorly. Luckily, I had an inspiring convo with Scott and was able to re-focus for the 4 weeks before my re-write. Fortunately, I followed up this poor attempt with a final score of 720 (Q49, V38), which was much more representative of my practice scores.

Without a doubt, target test prep is the best GMAT prep company / course out there, and I 100% recommend this course to any future GMAT test takers.

A GMAT journey has many elements to it. I can vouch for TTP for clearing majority of the concepts for me especially quant. I love their error log and the fact that after every concept there is a test that you need to take in order to move on.

The best part about TTP is the scheduled approach. It keeps you on track. Also, the detailed analytics available gives you very pertinent inputs for you to get an idea of your deficiencies and strengths.
I struggled most with sentence correction and critical reasoning. Both were covered in a fair amount of detail. Also, the quantity of high quality questions available is really great. Gives you a good amount of practice.
Thanks TTP.

I tried a few different resources online before I started studying with TTP. Growing up, I never really saw myself as a math kind of guy, and after high school, I did my best to just steer clear of it completely. The TTP quant was instrumental in restoring my confidence and even excitement when it comes to solving math problems. The thing I like about their quant course, when compared with the other study materials I used, is that they break the concepts down into simple, yet very concrete steps. After enough time with TTP I noticed that when I looked at a problem, I had stopped telling myself “this is something you just need to know”, and started seeing how each one could be broken down to its fundamental pieces, pieces that I understood. I started my GMAT prep by having to review my times tables, and ended it with scoring Q49 on an actual GMAT exam. I owe a huge part of that to TTP, but more importantly, I want to thank them for bringing out my interest in math again. Of course I would recommend.

I used TTP almost entirely for quant and couldn't be more satisfied. I had major math content gaps when I started GMAT prep, but I learned SO much with TTP. Their quant course/lessons gave me the tools I needed to deeply understand the concepts, and then use that understanding to answer GMAT questions correctly.
What really set TTP apart, in my opinion, was the amount of high-quality, GMAT-style questions included throughout: there are questions in each lesson as you're learning and at in the end of each chapter via chapter tests. Then there are even more strategically woven across the curriculum (e.g. review quizzes on previous chapter content before starting new chapter, and cumulative tests strategically placed after every 3-5 chapters).

Target Test Prep was critical for my GMAT process. The self-guided portion meant I could start studying in November and do a light amount for 4-5 months until I could take time off of work. I went from a 32 quant 36 verbal to a 49 quant 49 verbal. Target Test prep set very clear guidelines and processes for how I should be studying, which helped provide structure to my study plan. Upon completion of the quant portion, I never saw a problem on the practice GMATs I had not seen before. My first practice test after was a 42 quant, so there was definitely a slight adjustment period, but on my second test and on I never got below a 49 (consistent 49s/50s). Highly recommend this course.

I was introduced to TTP through a friend who also highly recommended it, as I am doing now!

The material for quant is extremely detailed and thoroughly covers every aspect of a topic. The thing I most liked about quant was that they provided modified variations of tricky questions that are most likely to confuse test-takers. This was great practice from the get go.

For verbal, SC and CR are explained especially in an analytical manner. This enables you to really understand the essence of the topic rather than just identify a patter to answer questions. The best part about verbal was tips on trap answer choices and how to avoid them.

The chapter-wise practice tests were tremendously nifty and gave an accurate representation of topic knowledge. The ability to create custom practice tests also helps you drill on your weak areas.

Overall, a great and comrehensive course. Definitely would recommend!

When I first started my prep, I was really overwhelmed by the amount of material there was to review. Along with the GMAT Official materials, I used TTP Quant to help lay the foundations of my quant skills. They cover all the material needed and test you with different questions so that you understand how to apply that knowledge. I did not use TTP Verbal as much. I originally only bought for one month and then wanted to switch to a four month plan and they were very flexible about paying to cover the difference. Additionally, if you have questions about the course, they get back to you very quickly.

Target Test Prep was a phenomenal resource for me as I started my GMAT journey. I wasn't sure where to start with my studying and was overwhelmed with the amount of resources available. Once I started Target Test Prep, that overwhelming feeling disappeared. A diagnostic test set up by TTP allows you to identify where you currently are versus what your goal score is and how to get there.

I started by reviewing all the basics for quant that I had forgotten given I haven't taken a math class in over 5 years. Then I focused on the weak areas and read all the lessons and did practice problems until I had mastered the topic. I followed a similar routine with the verbal section, but focused more on the strategy rather than drilling practice problems. This helped me improve my reading score immensely, which is the section largely responsible for my jump in score from 610 to 760.
