Target Test Prep's comprehensive quant course was incredibly useful in helping me refresh my knowledge of the topics being tested on the GMAT. Although there is a lot of material that takes a significant amount of time to go through, it helps build a solid foundation in all the required concepts, which helped build my confidence going into the exam. It is also very well structured, with a good amount of reading material complemented by practice tests and review tests. The course is well worth the hype, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive GMAT quant course.

So I never take time to review things, ever, but this time I will. Because it was recommended to me, I now recommend it to everyone who asks me about the GMAT, and it is actually worth it.

So before I started any GMAT prep whatsoever, Target Test Prep was recommended to me and I was like “ok amazing, this is my one stop shop”. But it couldn’t truly be that easy, could it? It was. I didn’t buy a single prep book or another resource (besides practice tests from GMAT official) online and it was all I needed. I signed up at the beginning of April and took a practice exam 1 from the GMAT website. That was my benchmark, I was at a 680. Not at all where I wanted to be. And for a month straight I just powered through Target Test Prep, mostly only on their quant. It was amazing, so structured. There take all the stressful planning that comes with studying for large tests away. You know what you need to do, and they even have a recommended time frame to do everything. I cheated the time frames a little because I had just finished college and had a lot of extra time. But definitely follow their modules and exams as closely and rigorously as you can. Don’t skip anything unless you feel near 100% on it. I felt so good about my studying and progress, I just loved their tips and strategy and it was like everything I needed was being spoon fed to me. And they have review tests and diagnostics so you know how you’re improving and what your weaknesses are. About a week before my test date I decided I should probably take another GMAT practice exam. 780. I was entirely blown away and if that’s doesn’t tell you it’s worth it… then I don’t know what will. That improvement from 680 to 780 was after 1 month of ONLY Target test prep. Nothing else. I took a few more practice exams and my score fluctuated around 760 a bit. I realized I wasn’t scoring as well on verbal and it was bringing me down, so literally 2 days before the exam I decided to do their verbal section. It’s newer, but I can already tell you that it is so much of a value add. Just by reading through their sections on verbal and doing some practice sections, my verbal improved dramatically (don’t remember the specifics). On the day of the test, all I wanted was 99% percentile and that’s what I got. I honestly attribute all of it to Target Test Prep. Take the advice, literally just put in the time with them and you WILL get a good score.

Target Test Prep was everything I needed and more to break the 700 barrier and score a 720! I was stuck in the 600s, constantly making silly errors and missing some harder questions. The guidance and reps provided by TTP made the difference in getting my score where it needed to be. The quant prep is unparalleled, and the new verbal section was very valuable, as well. I was pleasantly suprised by the amount of detail in each lession. The chapter tests kept me on track, and the extensive test bank provided me with an abundance of resources. Absolutely worth the buy!

Target Test Prep is incredibly detailed and thorough. It takes a lot of time to get through every module and take all of the practice quizzes, but the invested time is well worth it. Overall, the program is probably overkill, but this is important because once you are in the test environment, you need your responses to be second nature, which this course definitely helps you achieve. I would for sure recommend pairing this with the official practice tests, and you are pretty much guaranteed to get a good score if you complete the course and all the practice tests.

I took the GMAT official test in June and scored a 430 (Q42 V 10). Post which, I signed up on TTP. TTP really helps you nail down the concepts. I found it incredibly useful for Quants and SC. Quant especially is really detailed and covers nearly everything necessary to get a high score. What I loved about the SC module was that the explanation of wrong answers was really detailed. Going through their set of questions and the explanations will make sure you know the 1000's ways a sentence can go wrong. I retook the GMAT last week and scored a 660 (Q47 V34), and a lot of the success is attributed to TTP. I like the kindle like notes making feature and the error log. The revision was easy peasy thanks to those features.

I took the GMAT recently and scored a 710. I did mainly SC and some Quant topics from TTP's course as I was already decent at other sections of GMAT verbal. I was impressed by the course's exhaustiveness. It covers everything you need to know. Things I like about TTP:

1. It makes your task easier by providing you different features such as highlights, bookmarks, excellent error log, etc. These features may sound normal, but they are lifesavers when you are reviewing the material and errors.

2. The course covers everything you need. Once you complete this course, you'll not need to do anything else. Just make sure that you don't finish the course in hurry.

3. Strategy lessons are just awesome. GMAT is not just about concepts, but also mind set. I think the strategy lessons help you a lot to create the right mindset.

I honestly think TTP spoon feeds you everything you need for a good GMAT score.

I also did some quant chapters. However, I did them in a hurry and didn't complete the chapters. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I am decent at quant so I skimmed through the concepts and didn't take the chapter tests. I would highly recommend to just take the TTP course and follow the process they mention.

I have took the GMAT 4 times, twice at home and twice in a test center, I went through the TTP materials twice in total and practiced in their portal for countless hours. I have tried other test providers practice questions, but have only used TTP materials.
While I have seen other materials, TTP is the only provider I have spent material time using as designed. I am a self-studier and need to "figure things out" on my own in order to retain them. This is the perfect match for TTP. Their modules are crafted to show you the concept and its logic, then lead you into discovering how is it presented in GMATland materials, and then to challenge you to think beyond the concept to answer challenging questions. Because of this structure, i encourage you to trust their process. I skipped around initially and over some concepts in total, only to comeback and do the whole program when my score was stuck in 710 and 720. The process works, don't chase speed it will come with concept mastery, complete the modules is practice for your practice.
TTP Verbal, a bit here since it was marker "Beta" when i used it, although by the end all the modules were released. I have to say that there were some YouTube series that I watched that framed the SC concepts of Verbal very well. Then with that framing the TTP Verbal really came to life. I did not ever open the RC and CR modules as I was already testing there at a high level.
TTP Practice Problems: These practice problems are not that similar to the official practice questions, but they are better practice. If that makes sense. You can see the concepts being tested and where the "trick" of the question is just like the GMAT Official questions, but i think the TTP are more clear. GMAT Official questions can be a bit more muddled, so it took some practice learning how GMAT tests different concepts. Other providers i used for practice (Manhattan and Kaplan) questions were far too "tricky". This is hard to explain, but it felt like they were trying to piece together random concepts in order to trick me, where i felt the GMAT would show you the concept and then test your ability to get to an answer logically and quickly.
Only ever use Official GMAT Mock Exams btw, none i have found are even remotely close to accurate representations of the real exam.

Hello everyone,

I passed the GMAT recently and thought I'd share my experience taking the test and using the platform I worked with, Target Test Prep.

I'll start off by indicating that I'm very far from the usual GMAT test taker. I'm a professional jazz musician, and I don't regularly deal with anything that's remotely close to the GMAT. I was good with math in high-school and although I grew up in Israel, my English is objectively very close to that of a native speaker. However, I was never good with stuff like RC.

I started out with some 2012 Manhattan GMAT material that a friend gave me. Shortly after, I realized it made more sense to go for something more recent and went for the 2020 Kaplan book. I worked through the entire thing and had an OK experience, definitely not comprehensive and thorough enough for me. I spent a bit of time on the free online resources that come with the book, including their tests, but didn't feel like that was necessarily the way to go.

After that, I took 3 private lessons that were insightful - got a couple of little tricks. Very specific work picked at random such as tricky situation with geometry, trap answers on SC regarding the use of comas, they/which, etc. Useful but was probably covered by material I could have gotten at TTP.

I don't remember exactly what i used to practice quant at the time, but that was definitely my main focus, simply cause I liked it more than I did verbal. Did a bit of Barron's GMAT math workbook too.

4 months in, studying every day but very slowly and still doing a lot of other things during my day, I took an official mock test.
I got a 620 47Q 28V 5IR. Definitely not enough. My q was fairly solid, probably because of the fact I worked it more prior to the test, but also cause q was just my stronger suit. Verbal needed a huge work, and I started looking into TTP after doing some research online.

I worked all of TTPs verbal, at the time CR and SC and and then did a couple of Quant mini exams on the platform in every subject.

I loved the platform and material on there. The mini tests were great and some very difficult. I feel they did emulate OG questions well.
By far the biggest plus is the access to a chat system where you can talk to the creators of the platform. I abused it. Every question was answered, some times faster some times the next day, but overall, I felt like I had a private tutor. They'd turn the question inside out with you till you get it and tackle it from multiple angles until it's abundantly clear.

I did a little bit of OG official guide questions on their official platform and on GMAT club, mainly for verbal and IR and moved to do mock tests.
Test 2 - 650
Test 3 - 670
Test 1 redo - 680
Test 2 redo - 700
Test 4 - 670

All, with the exception of the small downfall on the last run, with quant progressing from 47 to 49 and verbal progressing from 28 to 35.

I then went to do my first real test online, which I found easy to maneuver and didn't run in to any problems with, and scored a 700, Q 48 V38 IR6. I feel like I could've done better on Quant, but the verbal score was definitely welcomed considering it's the highest score I got.

With my unusual profile, a first try 700 will probably get me in my desired school. However if I were to redo the whole process, I'd start off with TTP, finish their whole course, which I believe now has RC as well, and then go over lots of OG questions.

All in all great experience with TTP, specifically thanks to Marty from TTP, his dedication and knowledge, .

I would like to start by thanking Scott and TTP team in helping me get a 750 in GMAT!

I started prepping again for my GMAT in mid of June 2021. I had just about a month to prep for the exam and my mock test results were stuck at 680-690 (MGMAT and E-Gmat). I was consistently working through over 150 questions every day but even after 10 days my scores did not improve. I realised that I needed to use some GMAT course material to help me. I spent about 1 week exploring Target Test Prep's trial course and also tried courses with 2 other companies. I just loved the TTP's quant and SC coursework so I purchased their Flexible study plan for just $99.

What stood out among other test prep companies was the easy to read, thorough and neatly organised text explanations of each and every concept you would need with examples (with solutions) within every topic. I preferred this over other companies course because for me, this was much better and faster compared to going over hundreds of videos and animations in other courses (which is just extremely time consuming). I could just skim over the most basic concepts and focus my attention on more important topics. The flexible nature of this course just helped me immensely in going over the necessary concepts at a brisk pace (given my time constraint).

The other things I loved about the quant course specifically was the custom tests and chapter-wise tests, and practice questions. They have a big question bank with questions clearly separated into chapters and difficulty level. This helped me a lot in pin-pointing my week areas E.g. I was always of the view that Probability was my weakest area but as it turned out it was number properties. :)

The only drawback with the course is that they still don't have a CR specific coursework but I believe CR can be improved with just practice of questions on the GMATCLUB.

I would highly recommend TTP's course for anyone who is constraint by time like me.

I would also like to thank the GMATCLUB team and community for the vast, never ending question bank. The practice of these questions on the GMATCLUB helped me be more confident on the test day. The timer feature really helped me improve my speed in solving the RC questions.

I used TTP for 1 month to brush up my prep. Their quant contents are just superior to anything I have ever seen. Someone scoring Q25 or above will benefit from the contents tremendously. However, lessons are super detailed and lengthym, for a good reason though. Be aware though, lessons are in text form so if you are more into video lessons, I would recommend you to find something else. That said, solutions of the problems are in video form as well. Overall, a great experience. They do lack verbal part though.

I would encourage people who seriously considering to up their quant score to seriously consider TTP.
