When I first took the GMAT with no prep to establish a baseline for myself, I scored a 710. My friend had recommended I try out TTP, so I decided to purchase the 4-month course to give it a shot. From January 2023 to May 2023, I worked exclusively with the material TTP had offered. After taking official mocks 3-6 afterward, I scored 760s with Q range 50-51/V range 40-42/IR 8.
On the official GMAT, I scored a 760- Q50/V44/IR8. My average analytics on the course was 2hrs and 16 mins per day for 4 months; if you are capable of committing some time to study for the GMAT, I would 100% recommend TTP. Furthermore, I would even encourage you to pair this with other free resources to further enhance your learning. Although I exclusively used TTP, I don't see any drawbacks to pairing a powerful learning tool like TTP with other resources.

Strengths:
Both the verbal and quantitative part of the course are well put together. I would say the core strength of the product is the helpful planning tool, ensuring that you have assignments for everyday, and the problem explanations given to each question.
Would make the product better:
Overall, I would say that the course covers all elements of the GMAT very well. However, towards the end, I felt that the really difficult questions of the quant section were not sufficiently covered in the problems of the TTP course. Obviously it is difficult to cover everything, but I would rather not have had to resort to GMATClub's forums for additional questions (despite it ultimately being very helpful).
The TTP course is extremely comprehensive, adequately covering all important aspects of a proper GMAT prep. I was especially nervous about how the verbal section of the GMAT would work, and I was delighted to learn that the course covers all elements. The video guides, course explanations, and problem reviews are all very helpful.
I had zero knowledge of the GMAT before embarking on my search for a preparation product. Despite TTP being the only one I've tried, I think it's safe to say that it was a great choice. The planning tool helped me with adjusting my daily life to the preparation, and was essential in ensuring proper balance between my job and prep.

Strengths:
Verbal section that prepares candidates to tackle tough Verbal question.
Best in business Quant course.
Very well structured, designed to make people good at giving GMAT period. It it to the point, and yet comprehensive to cover all aspects of the exam. The Quant section is the best in the busienss and Verbal covers all aspects of GMAT Verbal to enable one to score high in it. Trusting the TTP process is easy because of its high quality questions and course design thats tailor-made for test-day success. TTP covers everything, from methods needed to solve challenging questions to strategies needed outside of studying to achieve a high score. Best part is that the TTP course is designed to include lessons, practice, revision and test in a predefined topic-wise sequence, leaving the students with the task of only following the step by step plan offered.

Strengths:
Coursework, pacing.
Would make the product better:
Increase verbal practice
An incredible self-study program that taught me the concepts I needed to understand to approach the GMAT confidently on test day. The content of this course should not be understated. I never felt like I needed a clarification or that information wasn't clear. Further, the analytics side of the course really helped me target my problem areas when I kept making the same mistakes. Perhaps most of all, when I did need extra support I could easily reach out to the folks at TTP and work with them to figure out what the next step on my learning journey would be. The best self-study platform coupled with real, meaningful service from the company.
Strengths:
The entire product was absolutely spectacular on the quant side.
Would make the product better:
The verbal side could use some fine tuning (I felt that the CR/RC section had a little too much redundant information)
TTP is absolutely spectacular man.... My first dry score at the gmat was a 520, Q32/V34. Both sections were also UNTIMED, meaning that my skill gap was arguably much worse than what the 520 reflects. Well, after a year, and easily 1000 hours of work, I have just gotten my official score of 760 - Q48,V46,IR7,AWA6. Now look. The TTP course takes a lot of time. I would say about 500 of these hours are attributable solely to their platform. But for individuals who need to build the skills up the time is necessary and TTP gives you all the tools. I would not have been able to have this improvement without the team. I wish I could give them 10 stars. You cannot go wrong with TTP!
Strengths:
Lessons are very easy to follow and comprehensive of everything you'll find on the actual exam. Lots of bonus tools to create a study schedule, track learning progress, and compare all previous practice exam scores. Lots of practice questions (especially quant, which I needed the most).
Would make the product better:
A dedicated question bank may be useful-- However, I used an online question bank through the GMAT Official Guide 2022 for this purpose throughout my last month of studying and it filled that gap for me.
Started TTP after a friend of mine earned a 740 score. Because I've previously been a poor standardized test taker, I thought my natural ceiling would be closer to a ~710, but while progressing through the lessons I realized I may be able to go higher. I eventually got a 760 on my second attempt!
TTP has basically everything someone would need to get whatever score they want, as long as they're ready to put in the work. I studied for several hundred hours over the course of 9-10 months, but I'm glad I took my time and went at my own pace. TTP helped transform studying for/taking the GMAT into an encouraging process, where I now feel more ready and confident to apply to business school. Would highly recommend!
Strengths:
Interactive Interface, practice questions, custom tests
Would make the product better:
Nothing
Target Test Prep is the best service in the business. At the start of my prep I thought I was overly ambitious when setting my target score to 750, but did not feel surprised at all when I surpassed it on test day. Prior to starting TTP I had tried both Magoosh and Manhattan Prep and struggled to attain a quantitative score of 40. I had exhausted all of the OG questions and was beginning to think a score of 650 was out of reach, let alone 700 +. Enrolling in TTP was the best decision I made. The course provides nearly 400 comprehensive lessons covering each subject that the GMAT tests. There are thousands of practice questions, and each lesson tests you throughout. I often find myself going on autopilot and skimming through textbook reading, but the interactive interface of TTP kept me engaged for the entirety of my journey. When test day arrived, I knew I had the skills necessary to achieve the score of my dreams, all I had to do was execute. TTP instilled in me the confidence necessary to score in the 99th percentile. Trust The Process! TTP is what you need to ace 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:
- Excellent Dashboard to track progress.
- The error logging system makes it easy to identify weak areas.
- Simple and lucid course structure which gets progressively difficult.
- Huge bank of questions for quant.
Would make the product better:
Non-native speakers may need to supplement TTP with the OG guide for Verbal, however during my prep I noted that new questions were continuously being added for the verbal section.
As I'm sure many of the people reading this have, I came across TTP while scouring reddit and GMATclub to find the best prep company. I decided to get the free trial and after I had used it for a day or two, I knew it was right for me.
The UI and course material of TTP is second to none and is really simple to understand! In terms of volume and quality for quant - TTP is the clear choice. Historically TTP has been known to not be very comprehensive for verbal but credit to the team for really building that out too!
The TTP instructors were highly accessible and were always happy to answer queries and to provide insights over mail.
Strengths:
- Great dashboard to show progress
- Many practice questions which force repetition
- Concepts are taught in a logical manner, and build on each other
Would make the product better:
- Some answers to questions were still a bit tricky to understand
- IR section was not really covered, could be an issue for students with little background in this
This is literally a one stop shop for obtaining an elite GMAT score. When I describe it to my peers, I liken it to having a personal coach who will take your of your nutrition, exercise routine and program structure - All you need to do is show up.
It is a long course, no doubt about it, and at times can feel endless. As long as you can commit, put in the hours (having a time tracker on the main dashboard helps immensely with this) you will get decent results.
By the time it came round to start on the official practice tests, I was amazed at the scores I was getting.
Overall a no BS, straightforward program that will get you results if you stick with it.
