I took my first GMAT course back in June 2020 and did not achieve my target score. Although I am confident in my verbal skills, my math skills were poor and I needed step-by-step guidance to understand the content. The GMAT is so much more than learning a few formulas. It is about developing analytical skills and responding sensibly in the moment (with about 2 minutes per question). TTP helped me strengthen the foundation of my math skills and also approach questions from an analytical point of view. My confidence in the test increased and I was able to calmly approach problems without freaking out (this actually was a major challenge). TTP is THE best course. It is also great value for money. I re-took the GMAT after 6 months with TTP and score a 720 (V 41 Q 47). Highly recommended for individuals who have the discipline to self-study and need something to guide them through the process. Plus, the TTP module on combinatorics and permutations is AMAZING. Seriously, I didn't think anyone could teach me how to tackle these questions. TTP did. I'm a fan!!

TTP was the only prep course I used for my GMAT preparation. After attempting a mock and getting a 640, I realized I needed to focus mainly in quant and sentence correction in order to improve my score. TTP was perfect for both, and after completing all content I got a 740 on the exam.

TTP sets up a study according to your current level and score goal. Then, it provides you with chapters for each topic, filled with very easy to follow explanations. After each chapter, you get a sequence of tests grouped by difficulty level, which are amazing for making sure you have understood all the concepts.

I studied for 2/3 hours every morning before work and used the platform for 4 months total. I chose the flexible preparation plan (month by month), but looking back I realize it would have been a better deal to get the longer packages. I'd definitely recommend TTP to any friend.

After about ~8 months of using a different test prep company, I was really struggling to raise my GMAT score above a 600. I had gone through an in-person course and 1-on-1 tutoring sessions (spending well over $1000), but still wasn't able to reach even the general range of my goal score. Given the reviews on GMAT club, I decided to give Target Test Prep a try.

Because of TTP's extremely detailed curriculum, I was able to break down EVERY potential quant and verbal question that could come up on the test. I found other test prep companies simply grazed the surface of core topics (especially quant), whereas the TTP course has been designed in such a meticulous way to ensure that you have no surprises on test day. Albeit somewhat time consuming (I wouldn't recommend if you're in a time crunch), I saw my score jump over 100 points after completing the full course. I was initially weary about the lessons being fully self-driven, but Scott + the TTP team are 100% invested in each student's success - I received multiple personal emails from Scott checking in throughout my prep duration.

I recently got into my #1 choice M7 b-school and truly could not have done it without TTP.

After studying for 4 months, giving multiple mocks, and reaching nowhere near my target score, I came across Target Test Prep through reddit. The course was highly endorsed as as the most detailed course, and for someone like me, who wanted to learn even the basics of different topics, It seemed perfect. By using the course I went from scoring 550 on mocks to 700 on the real thing.

TTP course is structured in a way, which takes your concept understanding from the very basic level to ease in facing high difficulty level questions. The structure is divided into 4 parts for each chapter.

1. Reading the highly detailed chapter notes, covering everything about the topic that someone taking GMAT could face on the exam day. Also, the chapters have examples in between them and are also divided into very small parts to keep you on your toes.

2. After reading the lessons, there are tests divided as per difficulty level. There are multiple tests in each category, easy, medium and hard, that will challenge your concept understanding.

Basically the course structure is well articulated to drill down every concept. TTP verbal has mixed reviews, but I found it highly useful. The topics taught might seem like a lot, but it’s always better to have all the weapons at your disposal if you plan to go to war.

TTP Verbal covers all the little nuances having a chance of being tested on GMAT. The tests are a bit tough, but doing them untimed is the key. After completing the tests and understanding the logic behind every answer, the real exam questions will seem like a cakewalk.

I highly recommend TTP to anyone planning on taking the GMAT. Do it once, do it right.

TL;DR - Some of you may be in a similar circumstance as me: absolutely swamped with work, little time to study, looking for a self-prep track on a budget, but needing to relearn some essential math skills after graduating college almost a decade ago. TTP was a life saver and is the real deal. They have high reviews (which made me slightly suspicious like many others) but thankfully I took the plunge with the 5-day trial, continued on for the flex plan, and scored a 720 (70 points improvement) after 3-4 weeks of studying. Would highly recommend others prepare much further in advanced - there is no reason you can't score a Q51 with this program honestly.

I'm in the military and was deployed for several months up until R2 applications were almost due. It was not feasible to effectively study much out there due to the conditions (disparate connectivity, constantly moving around, working 100+ hour weeks, etc.). By the time I returned home, I found myself in a situation where I was already mentally exhausted from the deployment, applications were due in ~6 weeks, and the one practice test I took lacked the score I knew I needed (I scored a 650, but knew I needed a 700+ minimum for T10). I had read through a few old Manhattan books from a friend, made some flash cards to pull out when I found 5 mins here and there, and completed a handful of practice problems with the OG books, but didn't feel like I was improving really. I had already been checking the GMAT club forums every so often while I was out there and many people recommended TTP so I decided to give the 5-day trial a run. I liked the format and easy-to-understand presentation of material. The price was also perfect and offered a self-paced plan I could tailor. I continued with it and crushed through the Quant chapters, skipping many of the review tests and other pieces along the way since I only had a couple weeks to wrap it all up for the test and applications (would recommend others actually complete all of them).

I finished the Quant material in ~3 weeks (1 week before scheduled exam), reviewed a few of the chapters and note cards I made along the way, and then took another practice test 3 days before the test. I scored a 710 on the practice test, under less than ideal conditions, but was satisfied. I felt much more confident on the Quant and reviewed the one-slider recommendations for the AWA section they provided the day before the test. Rolled into test day confident with Quant and scored a 720. I attribute the simple writing structure formula partially for my perfect score on the AWA as well.

Overall, great and simple content at a budget price. VERY thorough and will take a ridiculous amount of time to go through if you complete everything, but I can almost guarantee if you actually completed all the content, there's no reason why you shouldn't score a Q50 or Q51. I can't speak towards the VR content as I largely skipped that for the sake of time.

Target Test Prep is very comprehensive. I started the course after scoring 670 on the first attempt earlier this year, Q41 and V41. I used the flexible prep course for three months, wrote the exam again and scored 750.
I selected Target Test because its quant module was very highly rated and I was looking to increase my quant skills. I am glad I did. The course contains the most simplified and comprehensive explanation of combination and permutations I have ever seen. It breaks concepts down and teaches them to you in bits, building upon previously understood concepts to improve your understanding of complex topics. It is really good and I’d recommend it to anyone struggling to improve their Quant score.

I did not use its verbal module so I’m not sure what that contains, but going by its quant course, I believe its verbal course will also be pretty detailed.
The only area of improvement would be the responsiveness of instructors to questions. Prospective students who want access to instructors may have to pay for a different package, because the flexible prep option does not seem to include constant access to instructors. Although the instructors initially responded to my questions, they eventually stopped responding, explaining that they were understaffed and could therefore not respond to every question from subscribers.

I used Target Test Prep for close to 2 months as I studied for my second go at GMAT online, which at the time was the last time we could take it too.

I went with TTP specifically after reading these reviews and how they moved the needle with quant: back to add another positive review for that reason!

Despite studying for a good 4-6 months before my first exam (stopping and starting with COVID first breaking out), the truth is I just hadn’t fully grasped quant and was avoiding it. I was just getting a 700 by the skin of my teeth (my first gmat score), and I wanted to be much more comfortably in the upper range. I had tried rewatching videos from another learning platform over and over but something wasn’t sticking.

Enter TTP and those tough spots really unstuck. More than that, there were really useful tips throughout that ended up saving me a lot of time in the way I calculated answers in the exam. In my mock exams I scored 730+s, and despite every obstacle on the day - 3 hour check in process and unexpected construction next door! - I still achieved a 710.

Last but not least, the TTP team themselves, particularly Scott and Jeff, are absolutely fantastic. Any question any time you’ll get a quick, friendly response. They really made the difference for me.

Good luck to anyone studying - try out the free week on TTP and you’ll get why we all came back to write reviews. ⭐️💫

Target Test Prep is the sole reason for my 130 point improvement. It helps you transition from measuring progress by hours counted to content absorbed. As a task oriented person, the way that the course is structured was vital to my success. If you follow the plan laid out by the course and put in the work, there is no reason that your score should not dramatically improve. The course gives you everything you need to succeed and is incredibly affordable! As you move along in the course, the target accuracies on the review quizzes give you a sense for how well you are progressing towards your target score. As you continue to move forward, the analytics that the course provides are incredibly helpful. For every mistake you make, you have an opportunity to improve. You will then be able to look back on your weaknesses through the analytics and see the potential score sinking topics that you should put more time into. I would use this product again in a heartbeat.

I used TTP as preparation for my GMAT exam in the hopes of being able to supplement my undergraduate GPA with an extremely strong GMAT score. I had seen that TTP was widely recommended across various GMAT preparation websites, so I initially decided to give it a one week free trial. Based on the the content within, and in particular the guided solutions to the math portion of the exam, it was clear that among all the test prep sites I had dabbled in, this one was a step above. So when that week expired, I signed up for the one month subscription. I spent probably 10-15 hours a week for the next four weeks cranking through most of the Quant chapters, taking notes, and then moving on to practice exams. I exclusively used custom created exams, with only "Hard" rated questions. This was critical to my success on the actual GMAT exam. And again, in practice mode, you are able to see immediately the correct solution and thought process to any question you get wrong during the practice exam. While my verbal practice on TTP was limited to just about a week, it was also excellent. It was beneficial in understanding the type of thinking necessary to progress through CR and RC type questions. All in all, after just 5 weeks of using TTP, and no other prep beforehand, I was able to score a 760 on my first GMAT attempt. I can't recommend them enough. Put in the time and effort, and the content within will certainly help take you to the next level.

Hi folks,

I tried TTP this year and was able to score a 750 in my GMAT. Their materials were logically structured, extremely comprehensive, and easy to understand. I really enjoyed that I could learn at my own pace. They also customize your practice score so that you can goal seek basis your target score which was a helpful feature to measure progress.

I even studied verbal from TTP (SC and CR as they didn't have RC at the time). I found that the verbal materials were also thorough although I would have liked to have more practice material for SC.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to students hoping to get a 700+

Happy learning :)
