Strengths:
1. The question bank
2. Great material
3. Frequent practice tests with good explanations.
The Flexible Prep Course allows you to study at your pace and offer great material to go with it. I would say the question bank was really close to the actual GMAT question bank. I had loads of questions to practice what I had learned from an equally abundant, and thorough, material. I was weak in Verbal, Probability and Combinatorics. But by the end of my preparation, these were my strongest areas. The course also encourages you to take frequent chapter tests. The frequency of these chapter tests helped me solidify core concepts.
I really recommend this course if you feel a lack of direction in your preparation. This course guides you through your preparation, does not rely on shortcuts and tricks. The course imparts complete knowledge and does not expect you to rely on any shortcuts for test day.
Strengths:
- Comprehensive: Teaches you everything you need to know
- Extremely detailed: Requires you to practice similar questions many times to understand thoroughly and to teach you how to spot traps
- Great user interface: Super easy to use and track your progress

TTP is the best GMAT prep service on the market. Complete the full course (yes it will take a long time), and I'm convinced you'll achieve your dream score. Studying the free GMAT prep book is helpful because the questions are very similar to the actual test, but it explain the intricacies like the TTP program does. TTP spoon-feeds you everything you need to know, so you can spend time practicing problems, rather then trying to figure out what you need to know. The ROI on TTP's product is incredibly high, despite the cost. TTP is one of the best products / services I've ever bought, and I highly recommend it to anyone hoping for a high GMAT score.
Strengths:
The lay out of this program makes it easy to follow every subject. The fact that you first get a lesson and then get tested on easy medium and then hard question enables you to know if you really understand the subject. Also the later recap test are great.
Would make the product better:
Maybe more recap test but to be honest we already get quite some general test so yeah. Nothing really comes to mind
I have tried multiple programs before really starting my GMAT journey. At first, I tried a program which enabled me to get a 650 at my first GMAT attempt. However, my quant was still quite low. After seeing the reviews I tried the free Target Test Prep offer which was great so after that I bought the month subscription. I studied the GMAT for a month in combination with a full-time job. Target Test Prep enabled me to improve my score to a 700. Target Test Prep is really a well-made platform especially for quant. When a new subject is introduced, first there is a lesson and then you have easy, medium and hard questions on the subject. This enables you to be sure that you have revised everything you need to achieve your goals. Also, the program is tailored for your goals (I took the version made to reach between 700-730 but I guess that for different levels different subjects are introduced). In conclusion, I would recommend this program to everyone who wants to succeed his GMAT goals.

Strengths:
The platform is user-friendly. The sections are laid out in a logical manner so they build on one another. Each section goes incredibly in-depth on the content being covered.
Would make the product better:
Nothing.
When I first began my GMAT preparation journey, it had been more than 10 years since I had last taken a math class or utilized anything beyond basic addition/subtraction/multiplication/division. Thankfully, this was not an issue once I began studying with TTP. The sections are laid out in a logical manner so they build on one another, and each section goes incredibly in-depth on the content being covered. After studying exclusively with TTP for three months, I earned a 740 on the GMAT on my first attempt. As a native speaker with strong verbal skills, it is hard for me to assess the efficacy of TTP Verbal, but I would 100% recommend TTP Quant.
I have taken the GMAT after preparing for almost a year with another prep team. But I scored 680 while my target was 740. So, I decided to start with another prep company and I came across TTP for the good. I immediately bought 7-day access. The product is well structured with great UI and an amazing support team that responds in under 2-5 hours. The VA course covers everything that can ever be tested on the GMAT. Even after preparing for the GMAT for a year, I found a lot of information in the VA course. In QA, I used the accelerated plan which worked best for me as I had already scored Q50 before, so I didn't want to spend more time on QA. Only with the chapter tests for QA, I was able to achieve Q50 again. Anybody planning or studying for GMAT should check out TTP once as the complete course is available for just $1(7 days).

Verified GMAT Classic score:
710 Q48 V40 (Online)
TTP was instrumental in boosting my verbal score from V28 to V40. After failing to cross V30 mark for the third time, I finally decided to go with TTP as per suggestion from one of my very close friends (TTP helped her also to significantly improve the GMAT score). I had used certain other courses before starting TTP and was not very optimistic about it. I only focused on the verbal part as I scored decently in quant (Q49) without much preparation in my previous attempt.
I would say TTP surprised me with the depth of content it provides for its users. I started enjoying the course and saw my verbal reasoning skills improve significantly within 2 months. I finished only 20% of the overall course and started feeling confident.
After completing my 2 months of subscription, I enrolled for the 3rd month and decided to take my GMAT just one week after the enrollment. I took the online GMAT at home and scored a 710 (Q48 V40).
If I had one more month, I'm sure that I could have scores 750+ with the type of content TTP provides. But as I'm planning to apply in R2, I'm going ahead with a 710.
I can't thank enough to TTP for creating this amazing verbal course. The must knows are fantastic and the quality of questions is very impressive. A highly recommended course for anyone looking to improve hi//her score.
I would recommend TTP without hesitation.
I started using TTP after a failed attempt with another prep course, and I don't regret my decision.
My takeaways are the following:
1) TTP helped me demystify several aspects of the GMAT. We all know that the GMAT is a difficult test, but some elements are over-mystified.
2) The platform is neat and well-designed. You won't waste time navigating through the interface.
3) The course is comprehensive and somewhat extensive. But it has a purpose. The level of detail in each of the lessons is intended to help you master the topics tested on the GMAT. Don't feel discouraged by the quantity of the study material! I promise you that you'll go through each lesson with ease.
4) The calendar feature is amazing! At first, I struggled to organize my study sessions. But, when TTP introduced its Calendar feature, I had a clear idea of which lessons I had to tackle on a particular day.
5) The course has plenty of practice material. You'll have access to practice problems within each lesson and quizzes for each topic. I barely used other question banks.
6) The TTP team does an excellent job to help you whenenever you are stuck. Don't hesitate to ask them for help!
In the end, TTP helped me achieve a score of 700 (Q45, V40).

TTP is a brilliant course overall. After all the research I conducted, I found out that TTP is best known for it's Quant section prep, but the verbal is brilliant too. Even though I am a non-native speaker, I've always learned English how a native speaker would, and TTP's SC uses exactly those principles, with a clear and concise explanation for all the concepts tested. Moreover, the entire team at TTP is extremely helpful, it's incredible how they haven't run out of patience(lol). Scott, Marty and Jeff are the only ones I've had the pleasure of having an interaction with. Whether it's a question about the course, or a certain concept itself, they're always active on Gmatclub, and the Gmat subreddit. If you need one GMAT course, that won't break the bank, please choose TTP, your score will definitely do your decision justice.
I was introduced to TTP through reddit. I had read a lot of rave reviews so I decided to try out its free trial version. I loved its structured approach to teaching and therefore ended up buying the one month flexible plan.
I was really impressed with the way they have dealt with every little detail for Quant as well as Verbal sections with really helpful tips and tricks to save time as well. The option to chat with one of the experts regarding any queries one might have during the study is another great feature.
I think this course is ideal for someone who is aiming for a 700+ GMAT score. I would definitly recommend this course!
I used TTP after more than 1.5 year of studies for GMAT. I had a 630 (49Q/27V) score on my first try of the official exam. I used the platform for about 1.5 month and took a new GMAT exam, got a 660 (48Q/33V). Used it for 2 weeks more and took a new GMAT 730 (49Q/41V). I consider I could already have a 700+ score when I took 660, but I wasn't relaxed enough, when I could manage it, I got a good score.
I think TTP was essencial in my Verbal studies because I had studied a lot before, but many basic concepts weren't well understood by me. I had to be smart using TTP, since their content is very extensive and I had just a short time, but skipping some subjects and going directly to the ones I really didn't know, worked very well for me. I consider the best resource of theoretical content for Verbal I used. Besides, the structure of content -> basic questions (that are not in the same format of GMAT) -> simulation questions (same format of GMAT) was awesome for me!
