Verified GMAT Classic score:
710 Q47 V41 (Online)
The TTP course is extremely well structured and detailed. The quants lessons which delve deep into each concept and the practice sessions at the end of every chapter help build a strong foundation. Along with my confidence, my quants score also improved substantially from the initial practice sessions. I must also mention that the recently added verbal lessons are also superbly designed. I believe that the lessons in critical reasoning were especially useful to me and helped me score better in the verbal section. I was also able to track my progress the help of the analytics and error tracker features. I was extremely disciplined with the study plan and even though I couldn’t fully complete the course in two months, I was able to increase my score significantly. In addition to the lessons in quants and verbal, I found that with the tips to handle exam day stress, I was able to manage my test day anxiety and I remained calm throughout the test.
My advice to prospective students is to follow the course plan and if possible, since the course is intense and, in my opinion, difficult to complete in two months, spend three or four months with the TTP dedicated study plan.
I strongly recommend TTP to prospective GMAT candidates.
Highly recommend it for anyone who is serious about his or her GMAT prep. The quant section is extremely detailed and simplified at the same time. The repetitive revision and chapter tests help you properly apply the learned concepts. For the verbal section too, the course is well put and comprehensive. Except for RC, this is a one stop for your entire Quant and Verbal preparation.
Additionally, the course also provides tips on how to handle time-pressure, anxiety etc during the prep. period and during the actual exam. The only con is that TTP doesn't provide any practice CATs.
Nevertheless, I attribute a major part of my success to TTP.
Prior to starting with TTP, I thought I would never get above Q45. I was never good at math, never liked it - it was a struggle.
My quant score fluctuated between Q40-Q43, and I was going through all the different GMAT prep providers and their free trials. I did not expect to find anything good enough worth spending money.
However, after free 5 day trial with TTP I immediately purchased another month. Reasons as follows:
- Every topic is explained so well, through a combination of theory explanation videos, huge amount of practice questions and very detailed debriefs for every question (which was incredibly helpful - as you understand immediately where you went wrong and don't make the same mistake again)
- The level of "difficulty" for every topic is slowly escalated, so you can work up your confidence at your own pace
- Every single topic has DOZENS of practice questions, so you can really master each topic
- TTP gives you your stats broken down by topic and sub-topic, showing you what you know well and what you don't know at all - helps you target your weakest points
With 1 month with TTP, I was able to get Q48 on the real exam - something I never thought I would be able to do!
TTP also has ever expanding library of verbal resources and I learned quite a few helpful CR techniques there!
Scott and his team have been great and supportive as well!
GMAT is a logic exam, hence having a strong foundation is an absolute must. The comprehensive TTP course does a fantastic job at making your basics strong and giving you the essential conceptual clarity. It helped me improve my Quant score from a Q42 to a Q48 in a month. The Error Analytics feature of the platform is an amazing feature to help you track your weak areas and improve upon the same. Also, the team is quick to reply to any of your queries and guides you well. Overall, I am glad I chose TTP and strongly recommend it.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
4 years ago I received a score of 700 (Q44, V41, IR8, AWA 5) on the GMAT. It was my third attempt and it was one of the luckiest days of my life. I did not have a clear study plan and chose exercises in a haphazard manner. I also never seriously timed myself while doing problem sets. In short, I got incredibly lucky.
A couple of weeks ago I received a score of 770 (Q49, V47, IR8) on the GMAT Online. This is only thanks to TTP and the wonderful platform they have created. Subscribing to TTP is like going back to school. You are told exactly what you need to know and you are given a clear plan and the tools to solve every problem that will come your way on the real thing. For those among us who are of a competitive nature, you are also provided with statistics for each exercise so that you can compare yourself with other users. The Quant section is without fault. I believe that anybody that fully commits to TTP can receive a near-perfect score if they stick to the plan. I was able to complete the Quant section in a month of intensive studying. I am sure that the Verbal section will be just as amazing once it is fully finished. Some parts of the Verbal section are already available and are top quality. I finished the Sentence Correction chapter which I personally found very fun and rewarding.
You won't need anything else in order to succeed on the GMAT. Just stick to it and you will be rewarded. Good luck!
I was really struggling with gmat quant until i found ttp! It is a thorough course that goes from math basics to complicated topics, and believes in the fact that practice makes perfect. I started the course with Q39 in the gmac official practice and i ended up getting a Q48 on the real GMAT after a few months of tough studying. The ttp team helps you with any problem ir request you could have. The verbal section is also amazing, but it is still in pre-launch, im sure that the full program will be as good as quant is. Totally recommended for the dedicated student (as they also claim).
Target Test Prep was the best quant prep company I used. It’s well designed for self-prep in it’s flexible programs, readings, and video explanations. If you diligently follow all the modules and take no shortcuts, TTP provides a stellar platform to absolutely master the concepts needed to succeed on the GMAT. There’s enough problems at different levels such that you can train to the point where you can’t get problems wrong. I somehow started to have fun in quant prep. Make sure to pair with OG problems and exams and over time you’ll find success.
Target Test Prep helped me immensely in my GMAT preparation. It was the only prep I used and it help me achieve my target score. TTP broke down every topic very clearly, starting from the fundamentals so that I could build upon my knowledge. They've also begun building out a verbal section prep as well, and I found that to be as well broken-down as the quant section. I used the flexible prep program (a monthly payment), and they also allowed me to buy a two-week plan, which was a big bonus in my eyes. I highly recommend TTP, especially if you know your quant needs work!
TTP gets a lot of love for its quant course, and deservedly so. I started with a fairly high quant baseline, but TTP made it easy to identify my weakest areas and build a plan to improve them. The actual material is very solid and presented in an easily digestible way, but the tools like the error tracker, analytics by question type and concept, and the clear study plans are also incredible.
Where TTP really made a difference for me was in the verbal section. I struggled with sentence correction and was frustrated since it was holding me back from an elite score. TTP's SC material covered the core concepts just as clearly as their quant course, but the real key was the question strategy and mindset that it teaches.
TTP is a great product and along with the official guide, you don't need to look anywhere else for a solid GMAT study plan.
I used TTP's quant program for 2 months. Really not much more to say about it that I consider it the gold standard for Quant prep on the market. I come from a quantitative background, so wasn't as worried about strategies/mental math, but really needed to practice a ton of problems in a timed setting to simulate a testing experience. I found that the topic related review material was extremely thorough for most topics and the end-of-chapter quizzes really ensured I knew the material at a level needed to score well on the exam. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a single, thorough quant resource.
