Strengths:

All-encompassing course, just have to follow it step by step, without thinking here and there. Final scores resemble the performance you get here. My quant remained strong, my Di remained decent and my verbal remained weak on my main exam attempts, mirroring my prep from TTP

Would make the product better:

Verbal has multiple questions that have a questionable solution key. But no place to provide feedback. A feedback platform will be highly appreciated.

I enjoyed my journey with TTP, got a 665 in first attempt and 675 in second attempt. My scoring could have been higher as I was getting 695-715 in official mocks but I found the main exam verbal set to be tougher than official mocks. However TTP mirrored my exam performance.

Strengths:

Well worded and complete explanations of quant and verbal concepts to help build up the fundamentals.

Would make the product better:

Some of the wording in GMAT focus mocks and the actual GMAT were different to what TTP had used which mean the first couple of mocks I took shook me a little bit. This can easily be supplemented with GMAT club questions from other sources as the TTP lessons should give you a great base to work from.

TTP is long no doubt, it took me around 400 hours to complete the program. However, I took my time, doing many of the practice tests multiple times to really nail the skills. It is a time committment, but it was instrumental in building up my quantitative ability as this was an area I needed the most improvement. I see a lot of people saying you should be okay to do the GMAT in 1-2 months of study, but it is so individual. If that is your expectation, I wouldn't recommend TTP, but if you want to commit to giving it your best shot over a 6 month period, then they are a good option. Great support on social media from the team too, going the extra mile.

TTP helped me go from 555 in an unprepared prep exam to an 735 in my real exam in just 2.5 months. I could increase my score in every part of the exam, especially quant, where I started with 9th percentile and ended up with 94th percentile. The reason for this was TTP and their incredible programm. They help you navigate the insane amount of information and possibilities considering GMAT preparation, making sure you can focus only on the topics needed. The program itsself is super easy to handle and GMAT prep was even fun, as you challenge yourself to finish chapters and missions in certain amounts of time. Every relevant topic for the GMAT will be explained in a way that everyone will understand it and all the basics are covered, so you dont have to be afraid if certain concepts aren't so clear in your head anymore. Due to time pressure I could only finish the quant part, but that only shows how much content and lessons you get if you buy this program. There's a lot of other good things I could mention like the fact you are tested on concepts you learned some time ago on a regular basis, sparing you the moment before the exam when you finished all topics and then realize you forgot everything you learned at the beginning. Or the dact that there are explanation videos for a huge amount of questions, where Scott and Jeff explain the solutions to practice questions in an comprehensive way. If I had the choice I would do it all again, maybe taking more time to finish the whole program, but I didnt regret my investment at any point in time.
Thanks to Scott, Jeff and the rest of the TTP team - without you this score wouldnt have been possible.

Guaranteed Improvement with Target Test Prep

Strengths:

Target Test Prep does a fantastic job of breaking down every concept related to GMAT prep to the granular detail. Target Test Prep makes no assumptions about what you know, which helps you catch your blind spots unlike other tools. For example, Target Test Prep taught me how to organize Rate and Distance problems into a standard table. This may seem obvious to some, but this tip helped me ace every Rate and Distance problem I encountered.

Would make the product better:

It may have been user error, but I could not figure out how to randomize practice problems. Target Test Prep provides more subject tests than you could possibly need in your prep, but when you complete the tests, you know what skill is being tested. I needed to improve recognizing what type of problem was being asked. I practiced this using old GMAT resources. It's very possible this feature was available at the completion of the full training plan (which I skipped some parts of despite the constant recommendations not to!)

If you're serious about improving your GMAT score, Target Test Prep will guarantee improvement. My first practice test I scored 1st percentile (315 overall) and ended up with a 100th percentile score (735 overall) thanks to Target Test Prep resources. You will not run out of practice problems. Every concept you need to know is explained in excruciating detail - including how you should be organizing your work as you take the test. As I did more and more practice tests leading up to taking the GMAT, I would review what type of problems I struggled on and then would revisit that specific Target Test Prep section. Target Test Prep also keeps track of what problems you've struggled on - which I'd recommend you use as a pre-GMAT review guide before taking the test!

I recommend purchasing the 6 month package - I started studying in February 2024 and took the GMAT in August 2024.

Strengths:

Structural textual based learning
Lots of practice problems
Organised error tracker
Quick response by the team on queries

The best part about TTP is the study material is text based, and every chapter is carefully structured in such a way that concept buillding happens from basics to advanced level. Along with textual description, each lesson has a set of example and practice problems (apart from a huge number of chapter tests), so that we can understand the application of concept learnt in the lesson.

Verbal section was my weakest and I had very little confidence in improving my verbal ability score before using TTP. With the help of clear concept explanations, combined with a lot of practice problems which are very much close to real GMAT level, I was able to improve from 45 percentile to 84 percentile. For each chapter in verbal section, along with the skills to identify the correct answer, TTP also focuses on ways to identify the wrong answers, which was a game changer for me in improving my accuracy drastically.

Quant and Data Insights sections are very thorough, and there are plenty of diverse easy to hardest problems, similar to real GMAT problems. The amount of practise tests made sure I was ready to face any kind question. I eventually scored a perfect 90(100%le) in Quant and 82(93%le) in DI.

The team is highly responsive in answering any queries I had related to preparation strategy, clearing confusion in concepts, or providing detailed explanations to some tricky hard questions.

I highly recommend TTP course if you are looking for a comprehensive and flexible study material combined with a large number of practice problems.

Strengths:

- Comprehensive curriculum
- Self-paced
- Well designed study plan
- Regularly scheduled review tests
- Categorized error log
- Supportive staff team
- Data-driven analytics
- Sensibly-priced

Would make the product better:

- More visually appealing lessons (flow-charts, tables, colored boxes etc)
- Verbal and DI practice tests more regularly scheduled like the Quant tests.

TTP is one of the most comprehensive courses (because I needed foundational help with Quant ) while being reasonably priced. The course has the flexibility between a mission-based approach or a daily task-based approach which can be custom-tailored to your weekly routine. The study plan was so well-designed that I didn't have to use any other resource for my prep at the time and blindly followed the TTP plan. The lessons are so easy to understand and universally applicable from a novice to an expert level student. What I really appreciated about the lessons was that they were very structured, based on reliable and replicable techniques. The must-knows in each lesson helped summarize the main take-aways from each chapter without having to do it myself. I need physical pen and paper notes to study, so for that, the Active review sheets really helped me in the last 2 months of my prep when I was just revising what I had already learnt. The error log built into the TTP module helped me improve my scores on the Mocks from a 89th percentile to consistently scoring above 90th percentile because I was able to analyze and zero-in on the types of errors I was making most commonly and eventually erase them as much as possible.

- Depth and understanding focused content
- Supportive team which responds to any queries you have at any stage of preparation

Would make the product better:

I personally wanted more verbal practice so I think it would be great to have more verbal chapter tests with questions from multiple chapters added in the study plan

I started preparing with TTP and haven't looked back since. The course is really good and has the philosophy that EVERY portion of the GMAT is skill based and hence CAN be learned and mastered ! I really enjoyed the content also which is easy to grasp and is very well written. The program helped me a lot to identify which sections I am weak at, the reason I am weak in those sections and finally how can I master those sections. Practicing with TTP is well worth the time you invest in it as it will definitely improve your score. Overall I can say, without any doubt, that TTP played a vital role in me achieving the score of 725 in my first attempt.

It was a great course. The calendar view along with being able to put on how many hours I had each day/week really helped me know how long it would take and put some needed pressure on me to focus.

Not needing to use any other sources to study and not having to plan every time I study was helpful, made the whole process easier. I recommended it to other because once you study using TTP, you don't need anything else to study the material.

After doing this, your only focus needs to be to maximize test day ability and put yourself in that headspace to do exactly what you have been doing while practicing, which again, TTP helps with

Strengths:

Fantastic full coverage of all GMAT focus content (quant, verbal, and data insights). Each section was covered thoroughly with plenty of practice questions to achieve mastery in each section.

Would make the product better:

At times it feels a bit too thorough. I worked for months only to complete the first 10 missions and realized it was not sustainable. There was simply too much content to read through and practice questions to answer. I wish I had used TTP to fill in my weakest areas earlier on in my GMAT studying.

Overall Target Test Prep is in my opinion the best GMAT prep service out there. The course is designed to take anyone to a 705+ GMAT focus score with how thoroughly they cover each topic. I found the quant section on the actual GMAT focus was significantly easier than the TTP quant prep. While I was not able to complete even half the course with the 5-10 hours I set aside for GMAT studying each weak, I was able to identify my weaknesses and with the thoroughness of the TTP course was able to fill in those weaknesses. The many practice tests also allowed me practice my timing which proved instrumental in the actual test and allowed me to get the most out of the official mba.com practice tests by getting true benchmark scores without timing issues affecting my score.
