Target Test Prep Flexible Prep Reviews

Strengths:

- Goes into incredible detail on every sub-section of the test
- Good amount of practice questions for each specific topic and at varying difficulties
- Organized so you are easily able to identify where you need to improve

Would make the product better:

Maybe more practice problems - I found that I was doing the custom practice questions but they were repeats from the end of section tests in the study plan. Maybe I was using it incorrectly though - good supplemental material in my experience was the free official GMAT questions that come with the free practice tests #1 and #2. Can also purchase for ~$30 additional practice problems (#1 and #2).

Overall I thought TTP was an awesome resource to help get me over the hump in achieving my target GMAT score. With its immense detail into every topic, I was able to identify WHERE I was lacking in knowledge/skill, and was able to drill these areas until I felt more comfortable.
In my experience, I had to skip around as I only had a few weeks until my test date when I started using TTP, but it still worked for me but I had to put in long hours each day. If you are more patient/take more time (ex: a few months) and go through the study plan in full, you will definitely get even more out of the course and achieve your desired score.

Strengths:

The level of comprehensiveness for the lessons for both the quant, verbal, and DI sections and the number of available practice questions are just amazing. The lessons are designed that allow maximum flexibility for each candidate and focus on what we need to learn and improve on. The 5000+ question bank provides limitless practice for individuals who are keen to improve their score

I started using TTP after self-studying for 1 month, after only scoring 615 on the first mock exam, I realized that I needed some sort of tutoring/lesson to help me get to my destination. I learned about TTP through a YouTuber who has used it before, and I initially trialed it for 5 days. Since signing up, I could stop myself from staying on the platform all day with the comprehensive lessons and limitless number of practice questions. After 5 weeks of immersing myself in TTP for a total of 175 hours, I received 715 on my first attempt at the GMAT Focus Edition (100% Quant, 79% Verbal, 98% DI). I am truly grateful for this platform and the awesome work done by Scott and his team, and I would recommend TTP to anyone who is looking to take the GMAT exam

Strengths:

The course is user-friendly, allowing the students to easily understand the whole process and how to follow through with it. TTP provides deep insights and recommendations on how to tackle every detail of the GMAT questions. It gave me the structure/foundations to prepare myself for the GMAT exam. I achieved a 710 grade, but I truly felt TTP prepared me to do better than that and that I could have surpassed that grade had I taken the exam again.
I cannot think of any improvements to this course. It maximizes the efficiency of your time spent studying.

So as the title suggests, yesterday I scored a 770 overall (51 Quant and 44 Verbal) after prepping for 120 hours. I started prepping last October (pretty late for B School applications) and went on reddit to see what resources successful people had used. I saw several posts of scores in the 760-790 range from people using Target Test Prep, and thought “good enough for me”.

I started and quickly learned an essential truth: knowing the material isn’t enough. Everyone on this site is smart enough that, given 10 minutes per question, you could probably solve the problem. You have 2 minutes instead, 30 questions in a row. You need to have strategies for each of these questions. You need to drill these questions and your weak areas consistently. I’m convinced that I wouldn’t have scored anywhere nearly as well with a live course or a book, because where TTP really worked best was the strategy guides for specific problems and the additional bells and whistles to ingrain the strategy into your head.

When you first start, the site will auto generate a calendar with “To Dos” based off your preferences. I didn’t always follow this calendar, but it was really helpful to have a baseline of “this is where I should be at right now” or “I need this many tasks done today (even if they’re not the recommended tasks)”. After most individual lessons (about a page) there is a mini 3-8 question comprehension quiz to test how well you really get what you’re reading as well as a couple sample questions. The best part about these questions is right away you get the answer and detailed explanations for each choice. I don’t have to flip to the back of the book every single time like I did with my ACT study guide, and I don’t have to listen to a lecturer waste my time explaining why a certain choice was wrong when it was obvious to me. 120 hours of active study time is a lot, and staying engaged during that time is important. There’s no question I was maximizing the amount of learning I was doing in my limited time.

The custom test generator was one of the best features for me. You can make custom exams of any length, with any combination of chapter material in difficulty. If I wanted to drill hard Geometry questions and easy + medium Parallelism questions, I could do that. There is a LOT more, but those were the features I found myself appreciating the most. Features like error trackers and flash cards I probably would have used more but honestly I got a score I was happy with a lot sooner than I was expecting.

3 days ago I took my only practice exam and scored a 770 (50 Quant, 45 Verbal), took a last minute tutoring session on Quantitative through TTP, and scored a 770 on the official exam yesterday. The tutoring session was particularly helpful because the practice tests don’t give an answer breakdown like TTP does, and my tutor quickly got me up to speed on the questions I missed. He also had similar questions on deck to solidify my understanding of those types of problems.

I can’t imagine doing another course, book, class, etc. and achieving better results, especially in that amount of time. I highly recommend Target Test Prep, and you can try it out for $1 to see if that format is right for you.

I was not paid to write this, I’m just very satisfied with my experience and results and was encouraged to post about my experience here.

Strengths:

Extensive material that covers almost all possible topics. Great explanations.

Would make the product better:

The time allocate for quant tests + review in the study plan is often unrealistic in my opinion. It often took me double the time, messing up the schedule.

This course is really solid and worth the money. It covers a ton of topics with plenty of materials. The explanations are clear and make things easy to understand. Further, it covers a lot of great tips and tricks, meaning that you won't need any other materials (except for official mock exams) to study for your GMAT. The tool allows you to pick a score range you want to achieve and the automatically created schedule is contains everything you need to know. It's a good deal if you're looking for a course that's informative without being over-the-top.

I can definitely recommend it!

Strengths:

The practice problem sets allowed me to test and retest my weak areas and improve them.

Each lesson is so detailed that I felt confident at the end of lessons for previously weak areas.

Tailoring the study plan to my needs was very easy. I never felt like I wasted a moment.

When I started preparing for the GMAT, I felt comfortable using the official guides. However, after taking my first test it was clear that there was room for improvement, as I was about 100 points below my target range. I especially lacked in the quantitative section.

I happened upon Target Test Prep while doing some research on the internet. Other people spoke favorably of it; so I thought I would give it a try. Almost immediately, it was clear why TTP was so well-received by others. The study plan was clear and straightforward, and was tailored to goals that I inputted upon signing up.

Each section of the study plan has extensive information and tips on how to approach each subject. If you study each lesson carefully, it is impossible to not improve.

What I found particularly helpful were the practice/chapter tests and the ability to make your own customized problem sets. The standard practice tests at the end of each section were a great way to apply what I gained from the lessons. Towards the end of my time preparing for the GMAT, making customized problem sets that included only my weak topics was incredibly effective in refining my approach.

Without TTP, my score of 720 does not happen. I could not recommend their services more strongly!

Strengths:

Generally, the couse was really well stuructured, they give you tons of questions to practice on quant, although untill the time you begin to reach the end of the course you begin to forget the things you have taught for, and that`s because of the massivness of the course probably i guess.

Would make the product better:

Client orientation and more verbal tests, they lack so much on verbal. You cover one topic on quant, course gives you 300 questions to solve, you cover one topic in verbal, they give you 20 question to practice on.

So guys, all in all, i must say first time i did Gmat i only got 540, but after the course managed to get 620! But the thing is that before you purchase the course they promise you to return your money if you don`t get at least 110 point increase , which i clearly didn`t manage to do, but anyway got no return. Must say the cash return guarantee works only if you finish 100% of the course, and i finished 90% only as they say, but the 10% was just recommendations and Ir and AWa parts, which couldn`t just impact my score, which means i have finished their course,but anyway that was their reason(

The most horrible thing about the course is that they have 0 client orientation. I said them i don`t pretned for the return , though i practically finished 100% of the course , its so called learning phase with all the tests on Verbal and Quant. All i wanted from them was that they would give me some sort of discount, cause i hoped they would support their students, who spent 600$ on the course, for which i got rejection. I know that eGmat for example just gives their course for several months for free for students who trusted them and still couldn`t get promised by them score, however the same policy doesnt work at TTP, they give no interest on the people who trusted them and its sad.

So, my recommendation guys, if you are stuck between eGmat and TTP, don`t you even think twice, eGmat will support you as opposed to TTP, which doesnt even keep its promise(score guarantee)

So guys, i realize that my claims about TTP nit giving me discount may sound for some of you brazenly, cause technically they are right and i am just crying, and so it be, but the undisputable fact is that, if you hope to get 110 point increase by finishing TTP, that`t not guaranteed as well as their money return promises.

Strengths:

verbal section (especially SC)

Would make the product better:

quant tests.

No brainer for verbal section, especially SC , which i struggled with the most. Helped me get those last 20-30 points to break into 700s within a month. Anyone who has exhausted all study resources and are unable to get those last few points should strongly consider TTP. Their youtube channel and videos on Gmat club channel are just as helpful. I was skeptical at first given the buzz and marketing around TTP. But the 1$ trial was enough for me to gauge that it was perfect for me and my study habits. Kudos to scott and the team for making GMAT prep easy and fun !

Strengths:

The strengths of this course are simple and easy-to-understand material which is followed by different levels of practice problems to reinforce the concept learned and Explanatory videos that help in understanding the solution to the problems.

Would make the product better:

The course is perfect and complete.

This course is a complete package. It helped me improvise and reinforce my weaker area in GMAT which is SC section. The course is perfect as it contains not only simple and Easy-to-understand read through material but also followed by the practice problems and explanatory videos. It is for anyone trying to prepare to give their best in the GMAT exam.

The customs tests as well as the Summary sheets for Quants and Idioms played a major role in helping me increase my scores.

Through doing this course, I only felt that I would have been much happier had I found this course much earlier. I would surely recommend this TTP course to anyone and atleast start with the trial 5-Day period to see it for yourself how this course works magic.

In your GMAT journey, May the Course be with you!

I scored a 720 (Q48 V41) when I first did their quantitative program and then went on to score a 760 (Q48 V48) when I completed their verbal program. TTP is the most comprehensive, effective and accessible GMAT test prep program that a candidate needs to achieve a +700 score.

The study plan is well-structured and intuitive, covering all the sections of the GMAT in a coherent way. I barely needed to use the chat option to talk to their experts, who were very supportive and encouraging, as the course material and explanations to practice questions were very clear and thorough. The program also provides invaluable advice on how to improve test-taking strategies and time management skills in its strategy sections.

I highly recommend TTP to anyone who is serious about improving their GMAT score.
