Amazing resource for GMAT study

Strengths:

-TTP was easy to navigate and the study plans were really well structured.
-Quant section was very comprehensive and the way the chapters were organized was beneficial to the learning process as the concepts built off one another.
-Methods of how to solve certain quant questions were also explained clearly and made it easy for the user to understand.
-Good question tracker and test bank. Can create custom test banks based on specific parameter such as questions you've gotten wrong, questions you spent over 2 min on, etc.
-Hard questions in quant were more difficult than most of the ones I encountered on the official GMAT.

Would make the product better:

-Increase the amount of verbal problems available for practice.
-Some of the verbal explanations were not as clear as other sources I used.
-Explanations on some verbal solutions did not provide a detailed reason behind the logic of why they may have been wrong.
-What I found helpful with material from other sources was that they did a great job of explaining the logical steps of answering the problems in a way that was easier for me, personally, to connect with.

I would absolutely recommend anyone preparing for the GMAT to use TTP. The quant section alone is worth it. They provided a very detailed and comprehensive quant study plan which made me very confident I would score well. Some hard quant questions on TTP were exceptionally hard, and having been able to solve them really bought up my confidence when taking the real test. I was scoring Q45-46 on the OG practice tests but scored Q48 and Q49 on each of my official GMAT attempts. The quant section is structured in such a way that the concepts build off each of the earlier chapters and there are comprehensive check-ins along the way so that you do not forget any of the concepts you learned.

Verbal was a bit lacking for my preference but overall I would still give it a 4/5. The CR sections are do a good job of explaining the logical concepts to the answer choices, however I found SC to be lacking in this regard. RC was also good and the topics they cover was definitely helpful on the real test. Wish there were more questions for SC and RC.

Overall the course is amazing and I really liked how you can track your answers and mark the reason you got them wrong. Also the ability to create custom test banks to practice was a nice feature. Even though I felt like TTP could beef up the verbal section a bit I would still give this course a 5/5 all things considered. Truly an invaluable resource when it comes to GMAT prep.

Strengths:

Well organized comprehensive course with a lot of practice problems (easy, medium, & hard difficulty).

Would make the product better:

The course is great. I would just offer maybe more of a discount on the pricing if possible.

If you're looking for a comprehensive GMAT prep course I highly recommend TTP. The course is well organized and provided great structure to keep me on track. I was able to score a 720 on my first attempt with a Q48 and V41. I reactivated TTP because I wanted to increase my Quant score and thanks to TTP I was able to score a Q50 on my second attempt with a 730 overall score. The great thing about the course is that they provide challenging problems that prepare you really well for the actual tricky GMAT questions. Once again I highly recommend giving TTP a chance if you’re looking to achieve a 700+ score.

Good course for covering theory part of Verbal section

Strengths:

Strengths:-
This course teaches the theory very gradually so anyone can understand it and it also has practice questions in every section to check your knowledge.

Would make the product better:

If they could have an option of question bank of mixed types of question, it would really help a lot. As in GMAT you never know what theory the question is testing and most of the times there are multiple grammar rules applied in a single question. As we practice the questions only in a particular section, we are aware of what errors to look for.

Overall this is a really good course, and it helped me a lot to cover my lacking grammar knowledge. They have taken lot of efforts to make us understand even difficult topic easily.

I liked their organized course flow, which also allows you to select between a normal course or an accelerated course. I would like if they offer full length tests for practice too.

Almost all the questions have detailed video answers, so you understand why every option is right or wrong. The only recommendation is to have an option of mixed type question bank, where all options test different rules of grammar. While attempting GMAT I faced this issue, as in most of the questions all the options looked convincing and I was not sure what rule to be checked for any option.

TTP is Great

Strengths:

TTP is truly a one-stop shop for success on the GMAT. You do not need to go anywhere else to go from 0 to the score you want.

Would make the product better:

Some of the verbal content seemed too detailed and not as important on the actual test.

Target Test Prep (TTP) is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to improve their GMAT score. The program is comprehensive and covers all aspects of the exam, from the basics of math and verbal to the more advanced concepts. TTP also provides a great deal of practice material, including thousands of questions.

I particularly appreciate the way that TTP breaks down the GMAT into manageable chunks. This makes it easy to focus on your weaknesses and improve your score gradually. The program also provides excellent explanations for every question, so you can learn from your mistakes and avoid making them again in the future.

Overall, I highly recommend TTP to anyone who is serious about getting a high GMAT score. The program is comprehensive, effective, and well-organized. If you are willing to put in the effort, TTP can help you achieve your GMAT goals.

Strengths:

Both verbal and quant sections have everything you should need to get at least a 700. The user interface is great and makes spending hours and hours in the course easier. The chat function is incredibly useful with helpful and quick responses.

Would make the product better:

The course is very very long. I don't think they have anything in there that they don't feel they need, but anything to make it more palatable for working professionals would be great.

The verbal section was great and helped me refresh on all of the topics I needed to get a great score in sentence correction and critical reasoning. The quant section is everything you could need to get a great score. In fact, I didn't even complete the course and I still know that I wouldn't have been able to achieve my 710 without TTP. I also know that if I were to take all the tests and read all the lessons, I for sure would have been 730+. I do wish I would have been able to use TTP for my SAT and that they had an MCAT verison for my girlfriend. I feel like I used the chat so much that Jeffery would remember me. It makes you feel supported to have the TTP team to respond to your questions, and do so quickly.

Strengths:

1) Simple and clear explanations on conceptual topics
2) Personalized learning plans
3) Flash cards, diagnostic tests, custom tests based on weaknesses

Would make the product better:

More questions overall and maybe the ability to emulate an official mock exam.

I highly recommend TTP to prepare for the GMAT. It may take some time to complete everything but it's worth spending the effort to do all the missions including all the practice tests. Additionally, the team at TTP are highly approachable and will help you with any queries regarding your preparation.

Highlights: 1) Clear explanations of concepts in both quantitative and verbal reasoning, along with video guides on approaching questions

2) Effective notes on exam strategies, including time management, question approaches and eliminations, and more

3) Custom and diagnostic tests to help you attack weaker areas of your preparation and dial in your score.

4) Huge question bank of problem solving, data sufficiency and verbal questions. By the end of it, I wished for even more questions to be available!

The one drawback or consideration i would make is that, along with TTP, I did solve a lot of official guide questions and historical GMAT advanced guide questions for more practice. Whether or not this is necessary comes down to your personal preparation and ability to afford additional material.

Kudos!

Course Target Test Prep Flexible Prep

Strengths:

Ample quant practice questions

Very clear, concise and relevant verbal reasoning reading material

Error tracking and OnTarget practice and analytics

Flexible study plans suited to your needs

Would make the product better:

Need more verbal reasoning practice questions

I took the GMAT flexible preparation plan provided by TTP on a monthly subscription basis for my GMAT preparation (at the Expert+ level). Used the accelerated calendar study plan and then switched to the mission plan about one and half months before my GMAT exam.

As for quant, TTP provides ample questions for practice in the form of timed tests and lots of study material to learn the different topics from. As for verbal reasoning, the study material is very clear, concise and relevant wrt the GMAT syllabus. It provides a very lucid understanding of different topics with its crisp short paragraphs and highlighted "Must Know"s.

I personally loved the flexibility of the 2 types of study plans and the fact that one can switch between the two at any point in time. For a working individual with very little time to think about the priority order of lessons, the calendar plan is perfect as it takes away the headache of carefully planning what lessons to study first. Then as you near the end of the preparation, assuming that one would devote more time to studying, one can switch to the mission plan which is designed to get the most learning in few sittings.

TTP also has a really good error tracking system which accurately provides you with your weak topics and strong topics; and using this in combination with the OnTarget practice system; accelerates learning by a big margin.

Finally reached my target GMAT score of 760 (q51 v41) from 700 (q50 v34) on my first official practice test.

Strengths:

> TTP course is extremely comprehensive, to the point & completely logical.
> All the flawed options in every question are explained with proper logical reasons (more than one reasons to eliminate every wrong option) as opposed to using phrases like "awkward construction" or "unidiomatic construction".
> Every sub-chapter has many "Targeted practice problems" tailored to hammer home the concepts taught in that particular sub-chapter along with many GMAT-like problems which give a fair idea of how those concepts can be tested on the exam day.
> Completely new (different from OG or other GMAC sources) & relevant questions.
> Highlighting & note-making feature is available across all chapters.

Would make the product better:

Although the course is near perfect, I would still recommend a few improvements:
> More RC practice sets.
> More video solutions for challenge tests.
> Addition of another intermediate level between Hard & Challenge.
> Live doubt sessions, maybe on YT.

> The TTP course took away the burden of worrying about the right things to study for the GMAT.
> The order of the chapters & the sub-chapters was such that each new concept introduced was easy to comprehend & I didn't feel lost at any point despite being a non-native speaker.
> It was comprehensively laid out with a logical approach to solving questions & it was easy to pick up in short amount of time.
> It was written in an interactive manner & was easy to read & understand.
> Marty helped me throughout the journey with course doubts & always nudged me in the right direction.
> Value for money

Fantastic Tool To Achieve Your Dream Score

Strengths:

The strength of this product is its adaptive learning system that helps you successfully combat your weaknesses.

Would make the product better:

I would recommend that they strengthen the IR section of the course. It was new and a bit underdeveloped. However, I still scored an 8/8 on that section on the GMAT so it ended up providing no issue.

I cannot begin to express how impressed I am with Target Test Prep! This comprehensive test prep platform has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the quantitative to the analytical writing assessment sections, this resource has been an absolute game-changer in my test preparation journey.

Quantitative Section:
The quantitative section of Target Test Prep is unparalleled. The platform's extensive collection of practice questions and adaptive learning technology allowed me to focus on my weak areas while building upon my strengths. The explanations provided for each question were crystal clear and helped me grasp even the most challenging concepts. The interactive interface made learning enjoyable, and the progress tracking feature kept me motivated to push further towards success.

Qualitative Section:
The qualitative section of Target Test Prep is an absolute gem. I was initially worried about this aspect of the exam, but the abundance of practice materials and insightful lessons made me feel at ease. The in-depth analysis of critical reasoning and reading comprehension passages truly sharpened my skills and honed my ability to tackle complex questions efficiently. Thanks to Target Test Prep, I felt confident in my ability to approach any qualitative question with precision and clarity.

Integrated Reasoning Section:
The integrated reasoning section can be daunting, but with Target Test Prep's expertly designed resources, it became manageable and even enjoyable. The platform offered a wide range of practice sets that covered all aspects of integrated reasoning. The detailed explanations and strategies provided were invaluable, and they significantly improved my performance in this often-neglected section of the test.

AWA Section:
When it comes to the analytical writing assessment (AWA), Target Test Prep's guidance was outstanding. The platform's step-by-step approach to structuring and organizing essays was incredibly helpful. The sample essay responses and feedback from experts allowed me to understand what examiners are looking for and how to craft compelling arguments effectively. This section, which I initially found daunting, became one of my strengths, all thanks to the fantastic support of Target Test Prep.

Overall, Target Test Prep's comprehensive approach, user-friendly interface, and quality content make it the ultimate test prep resource. I am delighted to say that thanks to Target Test Prep, I was able to achieve a score beyond my wildest dreams on the exam. I wholeheartedly recommend this platform to anyone preparing for their standardized tests, as it truly deserves all the praise and accolades. Thank you, Target Test Prep, for making my test preparation journey a successful and enjoyable one!

Strengths:

-Quality of course content
-Breadth and depth of material covered
-Self-paced & tailored to your needs
-Excellent practice questions & self-testing options in addition to chapter quizzes
-Thoroughly crafted study plan
-Additional support services (e.g. webinars, classes, tutors...)
-Score improvement guarantee

Would make the product better:

I never went through the accelerated study plan or checked whether TTP offered content-specific improvement courses but the one caveat to how comprehensive the course is, should one follow the study plan as is recommended, is that it can take a long time to complete and to truly absorb all the learnings.

Target Test Prep's GMAT prep course is by far the most all-encompassing and thorough course I've taken. I had explored multiple courses and completed two others by the time I signed up to TTP and I could tell from the onset how much more comprehensive this one was. Thanks to the program's carefully crafted study plan, I was able to relearn all the content that I had forgotten or not yet known in both quant and verbal in a fun manner and with a level of rigor I had yet to encounter in a GMAT course. This is a course for those who feel that they want to learn and digest the GMAT content thoroughly prior to taking the exam. You not only will be more prepared for the GMAT by the time you're done with the course but also will have had more fun along the way. I can't help but commend the TTP for the program they've put together... I am truly grateful for it!
