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!

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

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!

Strengths:

It is a very comprehensive course which holistically prepares a test taker for the real GMAT Exam. The entire course is very systematically designed with an objective study plan, which is adapted to the test taker's schedule. I had an excellent experience interacting with my mentor, who readily offered course corrections whenever I approached him.

Would make the product better:

Nothing. You are absolutely Bang On as far as GMAT prep is concerned.

Well I had opted for a Flexible Plan with Verbal Improvement as the goal. I finished the course in a month. The Verbal Course was a game changer for me. Excellently explained with great practice questions. In fact, Scott's words - "All right Team TTP" kept reverberating in my ears throughout the two months and beyond. To be honest, I exactly did what the Course asked me to do - took notes, revised, gave chapter tests, re-revised in case marks were below the threshold. At the end of the Verbal Course, I could feel the difference. I was much more confident than I was earlier while doing the verbal Practice sets from GMAT Club and Official Sets and fared much better.
While I had enrolled for the course primarily to improve my Verbal, I even did the whole of Quant Course in the 2nd month as a tool for revision. And what a comprehensive course in Quant they have. Revision of Quant was a cakewalk thanks to TTP.
A big shout out to Marty, who was my saviour. He was there whenever I approached him. His words of advice were solid and straightforward. His plan for me coupled with Error Log of TTP Course helped me a lot improve my scores. During the GMAC Official Practice Tests, I moved from V28 to V40 and scored V39 in the final exam. Thank You Marty from the bottom of my heart.
My course subscription ended 3 days before the exam. I got a mail from Scott about my exam and I mentioned that My exam was scheduled 3 days later. And he extended my course subscription for a week so that I had access to the error logs and could attempt custom tests.
In short- Thank You TTP. I couldn't have achieved what i did without your help and support.

TTP was a lifesaver! Last December, I was introduced to TTP by a fellow friend who has also benefited from the program. I started my GMAT journey not knowing anything or how to start the preparation but TTP was able to break down the entire GMAT test structure to me clearly. TTP provides a clear strategy and structure for me to plan my study and the platform is beautifully crafted to help me track my progress, further motivating me to stick through and practise hard. What I particularly liked about TTP is that there are both video and written explanations to the questions. I usually prefer reading to listening to video explanations, as it allows me to train my eyes on reading comprehension and how to read fast. The text is also easy to follow and fun to go through. Here’s my detailed feedback on each component:

Quant: Extensive conceptual lessons focused on strengthening mathematical foundation and drilling through Easy-Medium-Hard practice questions (there are hundreds of questions to try and fail and then try and succeed!)
Verbal: SC section has outstanding learning material, sharpening my grammar skills and my understanding of sentence structure. CR section was a bit lacking in content but still sufficient in providing me with a thorough sense of the types of questions tested. RC section was extremely helpful; I learnt to be careful with the subtle trick answers and trained my eyes to pick up markers that signify the author's intent (they provide an exhaustive list of markers, which greatly improved my comprehension ability)
IR: Aha… usually left behind by other programmes but TTP crafted a great lesson for me to master this section effectively and efficiently (I could not afford to spend too much time on IR)

I improved my overall score by 100 points. TTP is indeed worth the investment!

Strengths:

Ability to take (via Expert+) someone already scoring very highly to the next level: started at a 730 baseline and was able to consistently make 750 - 770 on practice tests and the real exam after 3 months of Target Test Prep

Would make the product better:

Need more verbal content, felt like I was cycling through the same questions so had to elect another service

I got a 730 score on the GMAT in college, then took 3 years of a break off the exam. When I got back in the swing of things, I wanted to elect a service that would not only bring me back up to speed to a score level comparable to when I took the test last (730) but also give me the methodology to exceed my prior score.

TTP was able to do that by providing methodical ways to answer both verbal and quant problems that were proven, repeatable, and guaranteed strong scores on my practice tests and on my actual test. As a software person / product design person, I also really appreciated how the digital platform was designed for test success, and felt like all the features of TTP were pushing me toward a better score goal.

It was a very time-taxing journey (maybe ~200 hours total), but I am so glad that I opted into getting TTP to get me the GMAT score of my dreams. Now onto applications :)
