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 :)

Target Test Prep is the best comprehensive quantitative GMAT prep you could ask for and it helped me achieve an unbelievable 740 score. The course stands out from its competitors due to the thorough and challenging content and the user-friendliness of the product.
I studied for about 8 months and improved my score from Q39 to Q48. After studying the humanities in college and working for four years in non-technical roles unrelated to business, I knew that I needed a structured plan to approach studying for the GMAT's quantitative section. The TTP course is an unbelievable value because it has so much content, including hundreds of challenging questions and personalized analytics. The hard questions absolutely humbled me, but TTP does a great job of coaching you to analyze and overcome your weaknesses. By the end of my time studying for the GMAT, I could tell that I was approaching questions not only with increased knowledge about math and statistics, but also with an understanding of how to efficiently tackle questions I had never encountered.
In addition to the quant content being outstanding, TTP also offers a very user-friendly product and customer service experience. The user portal is very easy to navigate and has a minimalist look that allows you to focus solely on your prep while you use it. The course content is laid out in a very organized way that allows users to spend maximum time on studying and answering questions instead of wasting time on navigating the site or figuring out where you left off your studies. It's very easy to engage with support staff via chat in the portal and the staff is always prompt and friendly in their responses.
Overall, I would 100% recommend TTP for the aspiring-MBA who is very serious about significantly improving their score. I didn't dream of achieving a 740 before I started the course and now I am well on my way to my dream school.

TTP is the reason I was able to improve my verbal score from V32 to V42 and my overall score from 670 to 730. The questions in SC and CR (and the solutions) are of finest quality. Further, the quant course is very detailed. The quality of questions for both verbal and quant is really good. The hard TTP questions are really tough, but they challenged me to really understand the concepts. In addition to this, the flexible payment plan is amazing. I highly recommend this course to all GMAT aspirants.
Thanks to the entire TTP team. It was a great experience.

I am so thoroughly impressed with the level of quality and easy of use of Target Test Prep. I started my GMAT studying back in late 2020 and anticipated spending 3-4 months of rigorous studying to achieve a 700+. When that turned out to not be the case (time management with work was too difficult), I needed to pivot my strategy -- enter Target Test Prep.

TTP's style of teaching is perfect for working professionals like myself, who were only able to dedicate 30-90min/day of study. My favorite feature is the level of data analytics they capture about your progress. After completing the curriculum, I spent many hours taking their practice tests & quizzes. Over time, TTP clearly indicated which areas I needed to improve upon.

In addition, TTP also provides test-taking guidance -- a feature not always prioritized in many of these GMAT courses. This guidance, such as how to mentally prepare for test day (such as listening to pump-up music) helped me score 40 points above my target.

I whole-heartedly recommend TTP to anyone looking to achieve a 700+ on their GMAT.
