I can thoroughly recommend TTP to everyone interested in studying for the GMAT.

Other quant programs don't come close to competing with TTP - they lack depth, structure, videos, analytics, etc. TTP has all of that and more.

I got a 46V as a non-native speaker and only used TTP + OG to prep. SC was intense but thorough, and CR was useful.

Overall, extremely happy with TTP & the team, if I had to go back and do it all over again I would not choose another course.

The only small caveat is that I recommend you practice active reading for 1h a day to get your RC & idiom knowledge up. This is something that TTP did not cover at the time of me taking my exam, but it was in the pipeline.

Target Test Prep (TTP) is the only reason I got a 50 on Quant.

My studies for the GMAT began with Manhattan Prep. Their content was acceptable, covering a majority of the quant content but focussed heavily on short-cut strategies. After exhausting most Manhattan Prep resources, my quant score averaged around 46.

A friend recommended I try TTP, but I was skeptical. No joke, I thought that the price was too low for TTP to be any good. Manhattan prep was incredibly expensive relative to TTP. I was wrong.

Target Test Prep teaches you how to do any problem you could possibly encounter on the GMAT. Better yet, there are no strategies/shortcuts that often waste more time than they save. Instead, you learn how to efficiently solve problems the correct way that works 100% of the time.

I could go on and on about how incredible TTP is. I'll just wrap-up with this though. The guys who run the site are the best part. They responded to every message I sent them within an hour or two. They guided my studies, clarified compicated problems, and were absolute rockstars!

Note: I did all the SC and CR lessons as well. The SC is good, but I didn't have enough time to practice truly learn the topics. CR was already a strong area for me, but the strategies taught for CR were still helpful.

I decided to take the course because of the overwhelming amount of great reviews I have read online, and I can certainly say I was not disappointed! TTP is a great course that unpacks every single topic you will encounter on test day and drills into all the strategies you need to get your target score. I was roughly 40 points away from my target score during my practices before taking the course, but I was not confident of my approach to the problems and of my strategy for solving them. The huge number of practice tests you will encounter throughout the course really gave me a solid understanding of how to tackle each single problem, and I never got surprised during test day. Moreover, the Verbal part was really useful to iron out the doubts I had as a non-native speaker. Couldn't recommend this course more, it got me exactly where I needed to be and I am sure it can do the same for everyone!

Target Test Prep was pivotal in my GMAT journey. Actually, I don't even know if getting a 740 would be possible without TTP. The course is thorough, extremely well thought out and designed to take you through literally everything the GMAT could throw at you.

QUANT:
Even with someone coming in from an engineering background, I would say my quant skills were rusty. This was clear to me when I attempted to solve some of the medium/hard questions on the OG. TTP quant will take you through an IN DEPTH topic-by-topic skill development. This is done through a combination of written, well thought out topic and sub topic explanations, video examples, examples for you to test out and finally the crucial part where TTP shines - the practice questions. TTP has come up tons, and I mean TONS of questions organized by difficulty levels that will undoubtedly hone your neural pathways necessary to be fired when solving GMAT quant questions. Finally, you'll be tested periodically on previous topics as you progress through the course so you keep all the material fresh in your mind.

VERBAL:
TTP verbal was added as I was prepping TTP quant and similar design and thoughtfulness was reflected in TTP Verbal. TTP Verbal was HARD but later I realized WHY as I breezed through OG verbal questions.

TTP is a no BS, no shortcut approach to prepping for the GMAT and instead of simply teaching you gimmicky tricks it forces you to actually learn the material and then employ smart techniques to tackle any kind of problem the GMAT might throw at you.

I am excited to say that my GMAT journey has come to an end with a score of 760 (Q47, V49). There were times that I didn't think it would be possible, times that I seriously considered quitting, but I finally beat the GMAT. And you can too.

My success would not have been possible without Target Test Prep (TTP) and all of their incredible resources. I'd tried various other online courses before I came across TTP, and I can guarantee that there is no other study program as good as TTP. My greatest weakness was the quant section and this is where the TTP quant study program came in exceptionally handy. TTP's diagnostic test is highly accurate and the step-by-step study program that they offer makes learning each quant topic seem manageable, even enjoyable. Before moving to TTP, I had thought of the quant section as one "whole unit" that I needed to crack, and I hadn't even considered breaking up the quant section into the various subtopics that it tests. TTP did exactly this for me and it allowed me to see which quant areas I needed to focus on more than others (eg: my geometry was strong, but my number properties and foundations were weak). TTP's study program gives amazing tips and tricks for tackling quant questions, and by the end of the course, I felt like I could do many of the GMAT quant questions on autopilot, which proved so helpful for the real, more nerve-wracking exam environment.

I didn't use TTP's verbal program as I already felt quite confident in that section (I had been consistently scoring V49 in practice tests), but I have heard wonderful things about their verbal course and would have absolutely moved onto it if the verbal section hadn't gone to plan in my GMAT exam. Overall, TTP took me from scoring 680/690 (and feeling like I would never crack the GMAT) to 760, and I'm so grateful to have found this amazing online course. I couldn't recommend it enough - thank you Scott and the rest of the team at TTP!

I also want to say a little shout-out to the community at GMAT Club. Their testimonies gave me hope and the determination needed to believe that I could beat the GMAT. If you're reading this and despairing about the GMAT exam, please know that you too can beat it!

After trying other top providers, I switched to Target Test Prep after hearing others' success stories on Reddit. The TTP platform is top of the line, the content is intuitive and incredibly well-structured and the TTP team is heavily involved in customer success. Any time I had specific questions I could reach out directly to Marty, Jeff or Scott and get a helpful response quickly. The Quant product is second to none and completely standalone. The verbal offering is also extremely thorough and was instrumental in my success on the verbal portion. I would recommend TTP to anyone taking the GMAT.

I took a dry mock in December of 2020 to see where i stand (I had in mind a goal score of 700 to be competitive at target schools). 32Q 33V for a 550 showed up on my screen. I thought I had a long road ahead of me for Q, not only did I not even know where to start on some questions, but on the ones I did know how to do I would easily fall for the trap answers.

I did some research over the next month, and it seemed like the consensus was that TTP was the gold standard of quant courses. After completing the 6 month maximum learning package, I wholeheartedly agree with the consensus.

TTP is not some magic course that will give you a cheat code or gimmicks that will give you the "most of the time this will work type" of strategies. TTP literally lays out every single question type that is possible, and then drills the learning and solution into your brain over and over and over again. It is not rocket science, this is the most comprehensive course and will require you to stay very disciplined. It is not a course where you can take short cuts and expect to get a great score. TTP sets you up for success, and if you have the self control and patience to make it through the entire structured program, you will hit your target score.

Test day came around and I improved my Q to a 48 and V to a 38. This is after 5 months of intense and regimented studying using the TTP structure while also balancing a full time job. I cannot stress enough that if you are disciplined, TTP lays out every single scenario possible in easily consumable fashion. A+ rating from me and I would not have hit my target score if it was not for TTP.

With the help of TTP I went from a Q40 to Q49. TTP is just the right course, if you really want to achieve in-depth knowledge and skills for the qualitative section of the GMAT. So many GMAT like questions as well as excellent explanations. This course is unbeatable. Highly recommend it to any person, who wants to score high in the quantitive section of the GMAT.

Additionally, TTP launched a verbal section, but unfortunately just at the end of my preparation phase, so I did not fully use it. Still, the theoretical part was very extensive and gave me some knowledge I did not possess before.

Good job!!!

The TTP Course is hands-down the best course out there for quant.

Pros:
1) All you need to build a solid quant foundation
2) The lessons build on each other
3) The TTP team is super responsive - Scott, Jeff & Marty respond to queries very fast

Cons:
1) A bit expensive (~20% of monthly pay check for many Indian students)

FAQ:
Q: Will I get a 700+ score if I complete TTP?
A: TTP will help you lay a solid foundation for quant & verbal. Once you have studied the basics, it's a matter of practice. One has to keep solving questions & taking tests till the target score is reached. TTP was one of the key pillars of my own study. It helped me go from a 640 (Q39 V39) to a 700 (Q48 V38) in the actual GMAT (Online).

Q: How long does it take to complete TTP?
A: It took me 6 months (2 hrs. daily) to complete the course. YMMV.

Q: Is the TTP Verbal content good?
A: When I was practicing from TTP, their Verbal content was in beta stage. I was happy with the content.

TLDR: If you are looking for one course for all your GMAT needs, you can't go wrong with TTP.

Hello all,

I am an American that spent most of the pandemic working at(?) my first full-time job, learning a second language, and knocking the GMAT out of the way. TTP was seminal in laying my foundation in Quant, and honestly, the only other Quant pointers that I can offer are to learn some unique problems from GMAT Club and allow for the Manhattan Prep practice tests to humble you on timing and difficulty. After building the foundation, the real GMAT is really just about skill/comfort.

I can say that I spent, off and on, some months studying quant. I took my first MPrep practice test and scored a 620. I was devastated. I would bet money that they were milking me for my money (maybe I can win my money back @MPrep), as after three Manhattan practice test, I had a game plan to guess on at least 5 problems to finish in time. I took the official practice tests: Q49, 50, 50, and (the real test) 50. The first Q49 was achieved with 15 minutes to spare, as I guessed and flew through the test- a joke comparatively. I was prepared all along from TTP. I wish I had known how wrong my Q44 on my first Manhattan practice test was and spent some time learning my native language!

Anyways, I recommend taking your time and nailing the foundations with TTP. Though, I took my sweet time with no deadline and the course is rather extensive, so I would be wary of wasting time in the course. As I realized quickly there are ample practice tests to keep you taking and reviewing for months.

Lastly, a minor point, whatever traditions/rituals you implement during practice tests, is to keep them for the real test. I am not saying be superstitious, but I do recommend drinking coffee at the same times, etc. I did not drink coffee, like I normally did with practice tests in-between Q and V sections, and I believe that hurt my Verbal score.

I could be making excuses for myself, but those were the major take aways from my process.

Good Luck,

Dane
