Hi All,

I recently completed the online GMAT and scored 730 (96th percentile). I could not have done so with TTP Quant.

I am currently a senior in undergrad, graduating in 2 weeks with degrees in Cell and Molecular Biology and Philosophy. I haven't taken a math class in about three years, and I was never particularly strong at math. Even in middle and high school, I would do Kumon and other such tutoring in the summers specifically because of how difficult I found math to be. Now onto my GMAT story ...

I took my first official practice test on 3/5/20 and scores a 640 with Q37 and V40. This is with no preparation. 2 weeks later, I took practice test 2 and scored a 650 with Q35 and V44. Over those two weeks, I worked with some other GMAT resources, but I didn't see any gains in my score.

On 3/30/20 I purchases the flexible program from TTP. This is the actual date that I can say I really started understanding GMAT Quant. From the first module, my approach to the questions changed, and over time I started building my test-taking intuition. I immediately stopped using other resources and only did TTP. I wont lie, I only completed a few modules because I am still in school and have a lot of classwork to manage in addition to my GMAT prep. However, the gains came very quickly.

On 4/11/20, by which point I believe I was on module 5 of TTP, I took official practice test 3 and scored a 730 with Q44 and V47. While my Verbal did improve slightly, the Quant improvement that I felt was substantial. This might go unappreciated but actually my confidence during the test was higher because I could see how much better I had become at Quant. In practice tests 1 and 2, verbal was hard because I was kind of sulking at how bad quant went. For context, I always did Quant, Verbal, IR and then AWA as my order.

When I saw 730 on 4/11, I signed up for the Online GMAT for 4/20. I continued TTP, and I took GMAT Practice Test 4 on 4/17/20 and scored Q45, V46, and 740 Total. I used microsoft paint for the quant section to simulate the online whiteboard.

On 4/20 I took the official online and sscored Q48, V42, 730, 96th percentile. So, from 3/30/20 to 4/20/20, my score improved 90 points, from Q37 to Q48 via the help of TTP.

I strongly suggest everyone to use their program! It really changed my approach in strategy and understanding, and it was sufficient in areas where other famous programs were tremendously lacking, in my opinion atleast.

Thanks

Great Quant courses and test bank

TTP has a really huge test bank which I took advantage of to prepare myself on my speed and pacing of taking questions. I also really liked the questions for they felt really similar to the real questions you will see on the official test in terms of how the questions are worded and structured. The explanations for the questions were also really well versed which was very important in order for me to learn new topics.
I did not personally have a strong math background and this course really helped me a ton on building a strong foundation by finishing almost the entire test bank, which took me a month or two.

Essential GMAT Quant Prep

Absolutely essential quant review service and particularly helpful if you are looking to score 48+ on quant. TTP digs into all key concepts covered on the GMAT and helps build a really solid foundation in quant. If you are serious about understanding all quant concepts / questions before you take the GMAT (which is important if you want to break the 48+ threshold), TTP is going to be right service for you.

The materials themselves assume the user wants to actually learn quant concepts and not rely on tricks and shortcuts (generally), so you are prepared for everything come test-day. Coming from a math background, this is exactly what I was looking for in a review package.

I used a combination of TTP and GMAT Club questions to prepare for the exam, and without TTP I would not have been able to get a 49Q score on test-day (improvement from 47Q on first try, with consistent 49-50 quant scores on mock exams after I completed the course). Really a game-changer if you take the materials seriously

Hands down, the best program for quant

The only negative thing I have to say about this program is that I only found it after my 3rd GMAT attempt. In the mean time, I got my verbal on track but saw that my quant score fluctuating heavily (basically from 33-45). I realized that my quant knowledge was spotty. Meaning, in some topics I could answer 700+ questions with ease while in others I failed <550 type of questions. While it is very hard to identify the weak spots, I was looking for a comprehensive math program that builds up the required quant knowledge gradually, starting from scratch.
That is exactly what TTP does, it has a user friendly and modern interface and an insanely well structured curricula as well as fantastic analysis functions. It made me practice a lot, often >150 quant questions a day and only allows you to progress once you master a topic. While some concepts I knew very well it revealed my weak spots merciless. I felt more confident day by day and more importantly, my scores improved consistently and stopped fluctuating. Getting rid of these fluctuations is key in the GMAT and maximizes your chances of getting the score you want.

In my case, I had to stop this program after completing half of it. However, the bottom up structure of the curricula (you learn basics in the beginning that build your skills for later topics) already made me feel better prepared, not to mention that I had practiced ~2k questions with ttp in 3 weeks. I scored a 44 in quant and it just made me wonder what other score would have been possible if I would have finished the entire program.

Lastly, during my GMAT preparations, I have learned that there is not one course that suits everyone so bear in mind while one program might resonate with me and the way I learn, it might not work very well for someone else. As I mentioned in my GMAT debrief, a good way to understand whether this is the right course for you is to check the expert solutions / replies on the gmat forum. I found the answers from scott (founder of ttp) always very helpful.

I enrolled to Target Test Prep after hearing about it from a friend who was also preparing for the GMAT. Only thing I regret is that I didnt listen to him right away and delayed in enrolling to this course. If you are looking to score somewhere in between Q47-Q50 in quant then this is the course you should enroll to. The best part about this course is that it improves your basics and then develops your skill to do GMAT level questions. I gave the GMAT thrice till I finally scored 720. In first two attempts I got Q48 and the final one was Q47. The success rate of TTP is huge. It literally conditions you to solve GMAT quant questions accurately till you actually end up solving them correctly on the test day. Another point I would like to mention which I feel is very important: while going through the course I had some questions regarding a quant problem which I just couldnt figure out. There is a chat window which enables you to contact someone from TTP and ask them questions. I explained my doubt in the chat window and immediately got a response. In fact I asked too many questions till I was absolutely confident about the question and each time I got a quick response. I highly recommend this course. Just close your eyes and get the subscription. The ROI is huge.

First, I took a baseline gmat and received a 550. I spent 3 months using a competitor as sole study course. I worked my way through the books in ~3 months time, studying a varied amount per day but usually at least 1hr. After finishing the course, I took a practice gmat to see where I stood. I scored a 650. Figuring I was doing ok, i continued using the competitor and continued to take practice tests, but was consistently scoring below 600. Realizing the competitor was not clicking for whatever reason, I started asking friends who had prepped for the gmat what course/material they used. A friend who I trust and received a high score recommended Target. I decided to give it a shot.

Upon starting Target, I quickly realized it was extensive and thorough. I worked my way through the program, completeing each module and each test in sequential order. I scheduled a gmat about ~70% of the way through the program and received a 620...not exactly what I was hoping for. I was pretty defeated, but I stayed with the program. After finishing the program, I used the custom test function to drill concepts and create tests that would help me improve my weakest areas. 3 months after the 620 score, I took the gmat again. I felt extremely prepared and felt like the work I had put in on Target would set me up for success on this test. I received a 48Q and 730 overall.

Target does a fantastic job breaking down each concept into its most basic components. After you work to master the fundamentals, Target does a great job on building on those fundamentals to get you confident in answering the most difficult quant problems. I ended up using Target for ~6 months. I was working full time and studying 1-2 hours per day m-f and 3-4 each saturday and sunday. I can honestly say I felt I understood every quantitive concept that the gmat was testing because of Target.

Targets was able to make material click in ways that the competitor I was using was not able to. I felt that the way that the course was structured was perfect in that it really drilled each aspect of the fundamentals until you mastered them. Once you mastered them, the course introduced more difficult questions, but provided extremely detailed video and written explanations for each concept/question that helped to explain how to break down the question into the fundamentals that the GMAT was attempting to test. These written and video explanations were thorough and I felt like I was receiving in person tutoring.

Lastly, the custom tests that you are able to create following the completion of the program was an extremely valuable tool. I felt like I was able to create new quant sections each study session from Target's bank of easy, medium, and difficult questions. These custom tests allowed me to drill home concepts, but also to nail timing that is essential to success on the gmat. On their custom tests, you can pick and choose concepts, # of questions, difficult, and time limit. The possibilities are immense and I used this tool for the last 2 months relentlessly to feel confident on test day.

As someone with a liberal arts background, quant did not come easy to me. Target took me to 48Q and I will definitely be recommending it to anyone who asks!

Target Test Prep gave me a sense of assurance - it was like "just follow the path and you'll be fine", at least for me. The course covered all the topics possible of GMAT Quant and was very beautifully structured. All the solutions to maths problems were comprehensive as well. Also, I especially loved the analytics that provided helpful insights and which gaps exactly to tackle. I took GMAT 3 times and my quant scores were 50, 48, 49. I used to think that I was not that good at maths (so probably I couldn't self-study), but luckily TTP had all the useful tips.

Target Test Prep: Only Quant Prep You Need

Hello person reading this,

Just wanted to write this quick review to let everyone know that Target Test Prep really is the only quant prep you need. I have taken the GMAT 4x. First time I took it, I scored a dismal 25 in quant. Second time I scored a 38. The third time, I scored a 42. By this time, I had used Manhattan Prep, GMAT Club Tests, and the OG books. The fourth time I took it, the only prep I used was the Target Test Prep course. This product is the best by far for quant. No other product comes close. However, it only focuses Quant, so if you need to study verbal you will need to find something else in conjunction. Not only does TTP focus on improving your quant skills for the test, it also takes a holistic approach to learning and test day in general. They offer tips for learning better, such as active learning, being present, etc. This course will help give you tips to learn better in other areas as well. Well anyway, after the last test I scored a 49 on quant! My only regret is not finding TTP sooner. It would have saved me a few tests and a lot of time and money. So if you are reading this and you are unsure what to get. GET THIS! You really won't regret it. Hope this helps. Please feel free to message me!

Must have resource for Quant

As a non-STEM candidate with a poor math background TTP was a lifesaver. It helped me bring up my initial results up from the low 30s to a 45Q on the GMAT.

TTP covered all of the topics on the GMAT in-depth and provided over 2400 practice questions to get comfortable with the content.

I began my initial studying with the MGMAT books and found them to be lacking for quant - not enough questions and the concepts were not covered very well. TTP bridges that gap and I would go as far as to say that it is the only quant resource required.

I absolutely loved this course. As I did a Languages undergraduate degree, I had not done Maths in over 6 years, so I was slightly anxious about Quant. I knew I had a lot to cover, and I wanted to take the GMAT within 2 months of starting the course. After reading a lot of good reviews, I chose the TTP course and focused solely on that for the first part of my study.

The reviews were 100% right! This is a highly structured and easy to follow course. I love how organised it is, and how each module built the basis for the next. After each lesson there are loads of exercises and continuous review tests to make sure you're fully consolidating the material learnt as you go. When I say I had to go back to basics - I mean it. I was even relearning long division in the beginning. The fact that each lesson came with detailed examples, videos, and digestible explanations meant that I was never lost.

Additionally, the few times I wasn't 100% clear on a concept or exercise, I would ask for help and Jeff would immediately (I mean within even 2 mins!) offer me clarification. This meant that I was always 100% confident on the material, and everything else came down to practice. I loved Jeff's and Scott's explanations so much that when I was looking for solutions for official GMAT questions on forums, I always looked for their explanation (and cried when there wasn't one :( )

What's more, the course comes with THOUSANDS of exercises, from easy to hard difficulty. I completed all of them, which basically turns you into a quant machine, and after that there are hardly any GMAT questions up to 700-level that will surprise you. I didn't even use the OG quant questions (I know, a questionable decision, but my budget wasn't massive) - but TTP and the 6 official mocks were enough.

I think how good this course is is evidenced by my score improvement: I scored 590 (33V, 39Q) on my first Official Test Prep in the end of November 2019. In February 2020 I took the GMAT for the first time and scored 720, with 49Q!

I definitely recommend this course to ANYONE looking to achieve any GMAT score (whether that's 600, 650 or 700+). The only thing I was sad about was the fact that they did not have a verbal course - but Scott tells me it's in the works, so that's good news for you guys still studying!
