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.
Strengths:
- Study plan which helps a lot to systemize learning
- 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.

Strengths:
Great questions, way of learning including review tests and chapter tests. Never had an issue with the explanation for questions in verbal which seemed to be the case with some GMATClub verbal questions.
Would make the product better:
Only thing I can say is to maybe have mocks. Only thing that could be considered missing.
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.
The TTP GMAT Focus course was crucial in my preparation and ultimate success on the GMAT Focus. One of the most notable aspects of the course was how effectively it simplified complex concepts, making them easy to remember. The extensive practice provided was invaluable, especially in making test day feel manageable. The course offers a wealth of well-organized content, covering all the essential topics of the GMAT. The ability to take custom tests was a significant advantage, allowing me to focus on my weak areas and strengthen my understanding.
In particular, the course was very useful for consolidating my math knowledge. The large number of quant questions and their varying levels of difficulty were crucial in helping me achieve a score of 90 in Quant. The rigorous practice questions were often more challenging than the actual exam, which made the real test feel less stressful and more straightforward. This rigorous preparation was a key factor in my success.
Additionally, the course provides excellent strategic advice for test day, which I found incredibly helpful. The tips and strategies for tackling questions based on their difficulty level were particularly beneficial. They helped me approach the exam with a clear plan, ensuring I could manage my time effectively and answer questions efficiently.
When I first started studying, I was overwhelmed by the breadth of topics covered in the GMAT and struggled to organize my study schedule. However, the GMAT Focus course helped me structure my time and goals, guiding me on what to study and target in each session. This organization was vital in my preparation, ensuring I was well-prepared for every aspect of the exam.
Overall, the TTP GMAT Focus course is highly recommended for anyone preparing for the GMAT. Its comprehensive content, strategic advice, and rigorous practice make it an excellent resource for achieving a high score
Strengths:
The TTP course provides the most comprehensive deep dives into all possible topics on the GMAT. While the course is thorough, it also breaks down the information in a very digestible and easy to follow way. The video explanations were incredibly helpful. I learned not only what makes a given answer choice correct but also what makes the incorrect choices wrong. The course also highlighted many important strategies outside of the test content itself (ie, pacing, stress management, etc.). There were no surprises on test day - I couldn't imagine the study process without TTP.

I loved how much TTP emphasized building a foundation first and filling in the details later; the repetition and practice really allows you to train yourself to think differently.

Strengths:
Tailored study plan with amazing content. It teaches not only the subjects but the different many ways the GMAT will test you on every subject.
Would make the product better:
Sometimes, the platform would mistankely suggest to retake some specific parts of previously completed chapters.
The TTP course was a game changer for me. I took the test on december 2023 and got a 575 score. Then took the course for 3 months and achieved a 665 score on march 2024.
I think that Target Test Prep stands oput for 3 main reasons:
1. They explain the Quant concepts in a very simple and clear way.
2. The course not only explains the different concepts that appear on the test, but also all the many different ways in which the test will ask questions about each subject.
3. The course constantly reinforces previous chapters with quizzes and assignments so that you do not forget what you learned in the beginning.
Strengths:
TTP logically breaks up the material into topics that build on the skills that you learn in previous lessons. The program is so thorough that completing the course prepares you to handle any question you'll see on the GMAT!
Would make the product better:
I genuinely have no recommendations for improvement.
TTP is the real deal. This is the only GMAT prep course you will need to ace the GMAT! TTP gives you all the tools necessary to succeed and structures their course so that you can reach your goal as soon as possible! TTP was absolutely critical in helping me achieve my score. The material gave me such a great foundation of knowledge and skills before moving on to Official Guide Practice Questions. Just as important, the topical structure of TTP allowed me to easily revisit topics of weakness to practice, review, and refine skills before test day. I highly recommend TTP!!
