720 Q49 V40 (Online)
Strengths:
The ability to track the time spent per week and month in the program as well as easily see progress towards completing the entire study plan. TTP created a very easily to follow study plan to achieve your score goals.
Would make the product better:
No complaints.
TTP was a great ROI and allowed me to achieve my score goal. Prior to any prep, I took an official practice test and scored a 500. After completing TTP, I took the GMAT and scored a 720.
The ability to track the time spent per week and month in the program as well as easily see progress towards completing the entire study plan. TTP created a very easily to follow study plan to achieve your score goals.
I'd suggest to those taking the test to start with their weaker section (or section with the most score variability) on the official test, so they will be fresh for their more challenging section.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
Strengths:
TTP is strong in covering all areas of the exam. Most reviews here will say they are best at Quant, and I agree with that claim. In addition, their Reading Comprehension lessons helped me view the section in a new way and overcome a pattern of common mistakes.
Would make the product better:
I have very few points of feedback because the most important elements of the program, the content of the lessons, and the practice problem sets are great. TTP could improve the % complete tracker, which indicates how much of the program you have completed. For some reason there were two different numbers and they were always slightly different, so I wasn't sure which was accurate at a given time.
TTP gave me the fundamental building blocks to approach the test differently and more efficiently than I had before I started with TTP. Before starting with TPP, I would just do random problems sets and problems from the GMAT book. At the time, I didn't understand how much I had to un-learn and re-learn in order to approach problems from a new, improved perspective.
TTP offers countless problem sets that are very high quality and prepared me well for the test. While I can only claim this from my own perspective, I feel like a good portion of the TTP 'Medium' questions were actually borderline 'Hard' by GMAT standards. Because of this, I felt comfortable and capable when difficulty would start to increase on true practice tests. (I don't claim this to be the case! Just an anecdotal pattern I picked up on).
If you are considering the 6-month, Maximum learning option, be prepared to commit yourself to the GMAT process for the long-term. I needed this option as someone who had plateaued in studying on my own and as someone who has testing anxiety. TPP is ultimately what you make of it, but it offers the ideal framework to succeed.

770 Q49 V47 (Online)
Strengths:
-Extremely thorough and comprehensive
-Structured study plan
-More than enough practice problems to develop skills in each topic that is tested by the GMAT
Would make the product better:
I don't have many comments in terms of improvement. The only thing I would say is that the problems you will actually see from the official problem sets will be slightly different and will require a bit of a mental gear shift. The TTP problems are not so different that they won't teach you anything, but please keep this in midn.
This program is extremely comprehensive and will take you 95% of the distance to getting an extremely high score. I would not have scored nearly as high without the structure that this program provided. Being able to reach out to tutors to answer individual questions was also a great option that I used often. It took me around 4 months to get through the entirety of the course. It was definitely a grind but worth the effort. After I completed the course, I took my first practice exam and scored a 690. To be fair, by the time I finished the course, there was quite a bit I didn't remember from the beginning (for the Verbal section specifically). I then switched gears to practicing only OG practice problems to figure out where my weaknesses were and then would return to TTP to review my weaker subjects. After lots of practice problems I was feeling comfortable with problems at the highest level of difficulty. TTP is a fantastic program and I cannot recommend it enough.
Strengths:
- Personalized study plan tailored to your personal needs, time availability, and goals
- Content is extremely extensive and comprehensive
- Explanations are offered in writting - many are also offered in video format
- Thousands of practice questions for Quant section
- Verbal section is very clear and detailed
Would make the product better:
- Would include video explanations in the theory sections of the study plan for both Quant and Verbal
- Would include more practice questions to the Verbal section
TTP is a wonderful product that helped me achieve a 700+ score over the course of 3 months. The study plan offered by TTP is extremely comprehensive and covers all the contents with great detail - both Quant and Verbal. It really helped me acquire the core skills that are required to succeed in the GMAT. Overall, it was incredibly useful to get a profound understanding of all the different topics tested in the GMAT prior to practicing with Official GMAT exams. TTP allows you to select the type of study plan that best suits your needs and, if you are willing to put in the time and hard work, I can guarantee you will achieve your target score.
TTP offers the most comprehensive GMAT Study Prep material. I also bought E-Gmat course but TTP Verbal course was much better and helped me understand many concepts in depth and it provides advanced and basic questions for each topic in the verbal section. Also Marty is a great tutor for the verbal section whose tutoring videos are available on youtube. TTP simplifies advanced concepts and helps you improve speed, accuracy and provides simple and efficient strategies for the verbal section. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to improve their verbal score to choose target test prep. Although I scored a V32 , I would have scored better if I had more time with TTP material but I was satisfied with my overall score due to Q50 which helped me get into MS CS.
Strengths:
Truly exhaustive, includes all the information and solidifies it along the way
Would make the product better:
Include mission tests with verbal lessons as well
I took the GMAT raw thinking I could beat the test and was severely mistaken. I knew a 640 wouldn't get me to where I wanted to go, so I did some research and purchased one of target test prep's packages. After studying for 4 months to complete the course, I took the GMAT again and scored a 750. A 110 point jump. Couldn't have done it on my own. They truly check every box to make sure you know the information and how to apply it. They made it almost impossible for the test to trick me come test day. If you're serious about getting the score you want, I would recommend target test prep.

700 Q48 V38 (Online)
Strengths:
The site allows you to understand the subject in detail and then to do exercises for each chapter.
Very complete.
A schedule is made to achieve your goals.
I recommend the site because it is very organized and complete. I think that it is important to follow the schedule and to have time to prepare for GMAT. Personally speaking, I first read all the chapters and then I did the exercises. I also did 1 GMAT mock up test per week the last 3 weeks before the real GMAT.
I also used the personal test that everybody can take at the site. It is interesting because people can design their own tests based on their weaknesses. Here, I selected all hard tests to practice on more difficult exercises. It is important though to do that after you master the easy and medium exercises.

740 Q49 V42 (Online)
Strengths:
The product is extremely thorough. It covers all topics on the GMAT, the AWA, and test taking and study strategies. It's an immersive course that sets you up for success.
Would make the product better:
The course does take a long time but there is no way i would have scored what I scored without it. Be prepared to put in the time.
I would HIGHLY recommend this course. I've taken other courses and showed little to no improvement. TTP REALLY is the way to go. I have been out of College for over 10 years and forgot a lot of things. TTP starts and builds on the basics in an amazing way. It really is the only product out there that can get you a 220 point score improvement. It's an amazing product that you can take at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. I also did some tutoring with TTP tutors along the way and it's a great way to cement in topics you are having troubles with. 10/10 recommend for anyone out there looking to improve your score on the GMAT.
Strengths:
The course is structured really well and allowed me to efficiently plan and schedule my study sessions. I could see the progress that I was rapidly making.
Would make the product better:
Nothing!
In my practice tests and first official GMAT test, I couldn't break 700 on the GMAT. I was scoring relatively well on the Quant section but was having difficulty with the Verbal section. I liked that I could choose to do the accelerated program and bypass the Quant lessons and only take the review quizzes. This way, I had a nice review of the Quant section and could choose which topics to review more in-depth, while focusing more on the Verbal sections. While I did have to be self-disciplined because no one was keeping tabs on my progress, TTP made it easy for me to make my study plan. The lessons for each topic were super thorough and gave me a lot of confidence once test day came around.
Strengths:
Covers nearly all types of questions that can show up on the GMAT, with questions as closely accurate as possible as those on the GMAT. If you cover the entire course, you can guarantee getting as close as possible to your target score
Would make the product better:
The verbal section doesn't have as many questions as the quant, so more quizzes (especially CR and RC) would be helpful
Excellent choice - truly worth the money. Covers nearly all types of questions that can show up on the GMAT, with questions as closely accurate as possible as those on the GMAT. If you cover the entire course, you can guarantee getting as close as possible to your target score. Take your time through the program - don't rush, take every quiz, bookmark challenging questions, revisit them and retake them until you get them right. If you want to prepare well, pay for TPP and give yourself 4+ months to maximize the value you receive out of it. Scott and his team do an incredible job making this process as fun and smooth as it can be
Hi, after taking the practice test how much time did you give to your preparation before giving final gmat?
