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!

Strengths:

Very well organised material with tons of practice questions and very well explained methods of solving for quant.
For verbal, the theory is very well explained and examples are useful. Incredible resource.
I went through the official guide for 2 months and got 650 on a mock. After 2 months of TTP, I got 770 on my mock and 750 on my actual exam on the first try.
TTP made me feel so confident in my quant skills that I wasn’t even doubting a 750 going into the exam. Cannot recommend TTP more. Im super duper thankful for this resource. I def would’ve struggled to even touch 700 if not for it, as a fashion designer who haven’t done math in 7 years.

Would make the product better:

Nothing to improve tbh. Just brilliant. Maybe fewer emails as they feel spammy.

Strengths:

Great lessons, interface, questions, there is everything you need at the pace you need, at the depth you need.

Would make the product better:

They could have mocks of their own. Create a new qbank dedicated to these mocks. This would be amazing because I've found only the 6 gmat prep mocks to be useful in the GMAT prep. We need another party making mocks that are actually gmat-like and from the quality of their questions it could be TTP.

This is the best bang for the buck if you like self-study like I do. There is everything here needed for you to get a Q50 or Q51. If you do not have a solid math base, the program will get you there. And if you have a solid base to start with, you can do like me (though it might not necessarily be their recommendation) and do the chapter tests and read the chapters as you need to refresh. There are three different difficulties (easy, medium, hard) for each of the topics and both PS and DS exercises. Doing their DS exercises was my prep for Data Sufficiency.

I also really liked the Sentence Correction course. The cherry on top is the fact that you can speak to a member of the staff at any time through their chat. I needed some guidance after taking the diagnostic prep and also needed general advice after taking my exam and they were very helpful.

Strengths:

- Quant: Covers everything you need for at least a Q50 in Quant. The lesson to practice test pacing is great. I did not feel unprepared for any conventional quant question on the test.

- Verbal: Provides a great foundation for all three verbal subsections. The way to approach RC and CR questions is drilled into you repeatedly. I saw an immediate improvement in both question categories.

- Overall: Provides great analytics to highlight weak areas. The material is dense with over 2000 practice questions. No other prep material is as detailed in its lessons and as extensive in the practice questions offered.

Would make the product better:

- Quant: Absolutely gives a great foundation for a Q50 score. Q51 involves much more out-of-the-box questions. Providing a set of extra challenge problems focused on people trying to make the jump to Q51 would be fantastic.
- Verbal: While the material for Sentence Correction was great, I felt the practice questions given were much much harder than anything on the actual test. It's hard to gauge how proficient I truly was while working through this section.

Spending 15+ hours per week, it took me over 3 months to work through all of the material and practice questions. For a typical user, this material will most likely take you 4+ months to complete.

The platform provides a structured approach to GMAT preparation. TTP offers the best Quant prep compared to any other test prep provider. While I had a strong math skillset to begin with, TTP helped me lock in a Q51 on 2/3 of the official tests I took. I'm convinced that anyone with some aptitude for math can score a Q50 through TTP alone if they put the work in. For Verbal, I felt TTP excelled at setting the correct mindset and approach for CR and RC. I believe SC is TTP's weakest aspect of the platform. TTP goes through all the core topics well for SC. However, there are not a lot of practice questions for SC and the practice questions that are given tend to be much harder than those seen on the actual test. While this can be ok for some, as someone who was weaker in SC, I felt that I had to complement my TTP learnings with questions from GMATClub and other question banks. I did not feel this same need for any other Quant or Verbal sub-section.

Despite the above, TTP is the first platform I recommend to anyone starting to study for the GMAT. It simply has everything. Post TTP, I got a Q51 on 2/3 actual tests. I got a perfect CR on one test and a perfect RC on another. I feel that these achievements are predominantly due to my learnings from TTP. While TTP helped me develop my SC skills, I needed other materials to help get me to a 98th percentile score for SC. I encourage others to do the same. TTP should serve as the foundational test prep on someone's GMAT journey, with other supplemental materials added when needed.

Strengths:

Target Test Prep carefully teaches the underlying grammar, logic, and mathematical principles of the questions that the GMAT will pose, equipping students to do well.

Would make the product better:

I have no recommendations for improvements. The course is very solid.

Target Test Prep helped me understand the principles behind the questions on the GMAT exam, gave me large amounts of practice problems with which to test my understanding, and helped me pinpoint areas of weakness for further review. TTP focuses on teaching the foundations of mathematics, grammar, and logic rather than teaching “tricks”, allowing users to develop greater consistency in answering the GMAT’s questions. TTP also helped to lend structure to my preparation efforts, by virtue of being organized into chapter form and roughly alternating between verbal and quant test topics. Additional helpful features included notes on how to efficiently parse questions to determine what grammar principle or math technique to use to solve the problem.

Strengths:

- Structured approach
- Detailed lessons
- Customized chapter exams
- Analytics

Would make the product better:

- I didn't realize until 1 day before my subscription ran out that TTP has several practice exams, despite navigating for this on the website. It should be easier to navigate to these. The diagnostic test is clearly depicted though

Target Test Prep's GMAT preparation software stands out as a valuable tool for students seeking to excel on the GMAT. The platform's structured approach simplifies the learning process, breaking down complex concepts into manageable modules that progressively build upon one another.

One of the key merits of Target Test Prep is the emphasis on a strong foundation. By first ensuring that users have a thorough understanding of core concepts, the course lays the groundwork for more advanced problem-solving skills.

Furthermore, the practice questions and full-length practice tests provided by Target Test Prep are invaluable for fine-tuning test-taking strategies and time management skills. Detailed explanations accompanying each question enable users to learn from their mistakes and continually improve their performance.

Overall, Target Test Prep's well-organized and comprehensive approach offers an effective way to build the necessary knowledge and skills for achieving a high score on the GMAT.

Strengths:

-Structure of the course
-Amount of practice quizzes
-Ample opportunities for review through course progression

Would make the product better:

-Additional verbal practice questions

TTP is the best way to prepare for the GMAT, period. The content is well-structured, and ensures that your base of knowledge as it relates to the type of questions asked is very strong. I was initially skeptical about the efficacy of an online course, but there is a reason why so many people, including myself, recommend this course. It is comprehensive, and perhaps most crucially, it has features that eliminate so much of the administrative pain associated with studying. The integrated error log as you progress through the score is so helpful. Same story with the TTP analytics, which help hone in on weak areas.

If you put the effort in, a fantastic 700+ score is possible.

Strengths:

Nothing

I was stuck at a plateau of 700/710 and saw no way out. I took one month of the TTP course for verbal and some sections of quant and it was a game changer. The curriculum was very well structured and covered all important aspects needed. I followed the course cover to cover and did all the quizes as they came. Within 30 days, I saw a great improvement in my concepts and was able to apply them much better. After that, I re solved the Og and my practice tests had over 30/40 point difference. Would recommend to anyone aiming for a 700+

Strengths:

TTP has a fantastic course structure, and a great mixture of concept deep-dive, practice questions, and quizzes.

Would make the product better:

The verbal section can include more practice sets.

TTP is an amazing GMAT prep resource, and it helped me through every stage of my GMAT prep journey, from laying a solid knowledge foundation, to advancing my problem-solving skills and getting my target score. The QUANT and VERBAL section are super thorough, coupled with many high-quality practice questions. The practice questions also came with very detailed explanations, which allowed me to review my mistakes and bridge my knowledge gap really effectively. Another thing I like about TTP is that it shares a motivational quote every time you log in - this might be trivial but it did inspire me a lot throughout this arduous testing prepping journey :) I would highly recommend it to anyone who's prepping for the GMAT!

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.
