I stumbled across TTP really late in the study process. I scheduled the exam for 2 weeks from the date I signed up. Knowing that Math would be my weakest point, I needed a rigorous program that would allow me to concentrate on specific areas of weakness, provide timely feedback, and build on my foundation. In short, I was in an impossible situation, trying to cram and relearn math in short order. The TTP program was fantastic in helping me achieve my goal, boosting my Quant score by 20 points in less than a week of dedicated study. I highly recommend starting the program with enough time to complete the course start to finish, as I think I would have easily added another 30 points. The flexible pricing and the depth of information are other major benefits of the TTP program; given the intensive and time consuming demands of my job, I knew I would not be able to complete a standard course, but TTP helped me get the job done!

I'm a good test taker, but when I studied on my own the first time around, I scored a 690, well below my goal of 730. I then sought a tutor and found Jeff Miller at Target Test Prep. After 4 months of working through the TTP Quant Flex course, I was scoring in the mid-700s on practice tests. I attribute my improvement to both the comprehensive course material – it forces you to learn and retain information – and the superior tutoring I received – Jeff challenged me with questions and explained solutions that weren't conveyed through textbooks/courses. Although the actual GMAT didn’t feel easier to me while I was taking it, my significantly higher score after completing the TTP quant program was proof of how much I had learned and my improved ability to recognize and confidently solve a wide variety of problems. I definitely recommend taking the Flex course, supplemented with tutoring sessions from Jeff, to focus on improving your weaknesses.

I cannot recommend Target Test Prep enough! My background is Musical Theatre, so I knew I would need to have competitive scores, especially in quant and IR. I initially spent about two months with some books that gave me a good refresher, but my first sitting was a disappointment: Q-39 and 6 on IR. I found TTP at an online forum, and it matched my needs! The dashboard, study plans, practice questions, and chapter tests are invaluable tools. During my second GMAT, I was more comfortable with quant; I had a solid knowledge of all quant principles and knew what each question was asking and what formulas to use. I could quickly identify questions that were too tough for me, allowing me to quickly guess and move on, buying time for other questions. I raised my quant score to 46 (60th percentile) and IR to 8 (93rd percentile). My verbal section also improved drastically, due to having less stress over the quant section. Thanks, Target Test Prep, you ROCK!

TTP is incredible!! Hands down the best at GMAT quant. I used TTP’s self-paced program but also worked with a tutor in the 5 weeks before my test. I really liked that all of the data analytics were available to you so you could clearly gauge what topics, questions types, etc. you needed to improve on. I would HIGHLY recommend Scott for one-on-one tutoring. The one-on-one sessions, combined with the online program, were a complete game-changer for my GMAT prep. It’s important to note that I started studying for my GMAT in earnest with a very short timeline before I had to take my test to be eligible for R2 b-school apps (about 6 weeks). Had I started with TTP earlier, my score would have easily been higher, but my goal was to get into the 700 club, which I did! 😊 I am thrilled to have been thus far extended interview invites for 4 out of 6 top 20 MBA programs I applied to. Don’t think I would have had the same outcome if I hadn’t raised my score with TTP! Great program!

I used brute force and got a 710 my first time, not quite enough for top programs. I took the same approach my second time but got stuck at 660-690. I tried other prep programs, but none helped the quant content click. TTP had exactly what I needed - well organized content, progressively challenging questions, short practice sessions, and a continuous feedback loop. Before TTP, I kept track of all my missed questions in a Google Sheet. When I saw that TTP does the tracking for you, I knew they would be a good fit for me. Their tools are built for learning, not just practicing. With just 30 days before my next test, I supplemented the short study plan with tutoring. Jeff was instrumental in helping get my score up. He taught me new ways to approach problems, helped me identify the areas where I made mistakes, and worked to fix my weaknesses. I cannot recommend TTP enough. It’s the approach that TTP takes with their tools + teachers that won me over.

After taking the GMAT the first time and receiving a 580 (Q44 V26) I was extremely discouraged. I did not think that my dreams of attending a top business school could be a reality with the timeframe I had. With round 2 deadlines less than 45 days away, I didn't think I stood a chance.

After taking the GMAT the first time and receiving a 580 (Q44 V26) I was extremely discouraged. I did not think that my dreams of attending a top business school could be a reality with the timeframe I had. With round 2 deadlines less than 45 days away, I didn't think I stood a chance. I stumbled on target test prep's curriculum and it was the best thing to ever happen for my GMAT. I could not have done it without TTP. This curriculum gives you every tool you need to feel confident and ready for the test no matter what level you are at. After all, it's self-paced. Stop wasting your time with the books, Magoosh, or manhattan and get target test prep. You will see improvement immediately and can constantly test your progress. Did I mention its EXTREMELY affordable for what you're getting?! Ultimately I was able to score a 720 after just 5 weeks working wtih TTP. Seriously.. give this a try, you will not regret it.
After prepping for the GMAT with Target Test Prep, I scored a 730 with a quant score of 49 on my first try. I started to prepare for the GMAT in August and planned to take the actual exam at the end of September. I expected to score high in the verbal section but was anxious about my performance in quant. Target Test Prep helped me understand all important concepts and provided tons of material to master the right techniques.

Target Test Prep helped me understand all important concepts and provided tons of material to master the right techniques.
After digging through the Manhattan Quant books I felt that I needed a more interactive source of study material to stay engaged. My problem was that I would just fly over sections that bored me in the Manhattan books and ended up having no clue how to solve the problem sets at the end of each chapter.
I went on youtube for some GMAT related video material ("Heck, it’s so much better to let someone else do the explaining than reading everything yourself, right?") and found an explanation on trailing zeros - a topic almost completely neglected by Manhattan, by the way. The video was clearly structured and concise. I was super happy to find out that there was an online program made up almost entirely of those videos. The best part was: Target Test Prep offers a free one week trial period, so i was able to check out everything without the risk of wasting any money.
After checking out the program for a couple of hours I was completely sold. I purchased the flexible preparation plan for 4 weeks for a very fair price (much cheaper than all other programs I found and also cheaper than the Manhattan books). There are 20 chapters that elaborate on every possible aspect of the GMAT quant section. Every small theory section is followed by a number of examples (hidden answer and explanations). There is a video explanation for every example, too. All videos are very easy to follow and are well produced. Whenever I didn’t feel like studying anymore I just ended up watching the videos and learned so much doing so. I can only imagine the amount of time needed to produce these videos.
This was exactly what I needed. Whenever I was done with a section I felt like I already almost mastered the material. There was no way to easily forget everything and just go on because you are immediately tested - no more self-cheating ;)
For every single one of the 20 chapters, a collection of easy, medium and hard questions is available. This is a ton of material. Once you are through all the questions (probably not even needed) there won’t be many things left to surprise you on test day.
Speaking of the actual test: I scored a 730 with a quant score of 49 on my first try. Honestly, I felt quite down after the quant section. I had focused most of my study time on the hard questions on Target Test Prep and didn't see anything as hard on the real test - so I figured I had done poorly. Well, apparently I was wrong :) I think it is fair to say that the preparation was so good that I was almost "over-prepared" for the real deal.
Thank you so much guys!
PS: Whenever I had a question about the program, someone helped me out in a matter of minutes. Great service, always felt in good hands!

Best of luck to everyone out there trying to do the same!

I started taking GMAT mock tests after a bit of self-study, and I was around 36-37 in Quant. That bothered me and I started exploring some more effective methods of learning. I referred to many books and purchased some online material. Although these tools helped me to cross the Q40 mark, I was still struggling to get an excellent score (in the range of 47-51).
I came across the Target Test Prep course for Quant preparation through the Beat The GMAT forum and took a trial. I love the way the entire course is organized. The course takes you from the easiest concept from your high school days to the toughest question you can expect on the GMAT. I truly enjoyed the course. There are also several tests for every chapter to give you an insight into how much you have actually grasped. These tests are arranged in increasing order of difficulty. This will indeed boost your confidence. Also, for every question or example, a clear explanation is given to help you understand the concept.
Overall, I really loved and enjoyed the course. I took the GMAT after one month of taking this course and ended up with a satisfying Q49. I highly recommend Target Test Prep to anyone aiming for a high score in the Quant section of the GMAT. As far as I am concerned, Target Test Prep is the best resource for GMAT Quant preparation available.

A friend recommended Target Test Prep, and I'm so glad I made the switch. The format is great for reinforcing the content because there are easy, medium, and difficult problem sets at the end of each chapter, so you really master the material before moving on. The ability to drill different problem types was key. In the weeks leading up to my test date, I took a bunch of practice tests and focused in on my weakest content areas. With Target Test Prep, I could drill down on those problem types and work my way up to the most difficult questions. The chapters are also extremely comprehensive - I felt like they covered every possible iteration of a problem type. The GMAT is all about pattern recognition, so understanding how to tackle different iterations is super important. Even without finishing all the chapters and I jumped from a 39 to a 47 on quant and a 730 overall.
I took the GMAT in early May and scored a 49Q. I am over the moon and beyond thrilled with my score, and I owe a lot to this company, and my friend who referred me to them. The content is clearly written and organized, and the practice questions are challenging and numerous. It was exactly what I needed to prepare well for Quant.

My GMAT journey: I took Princeton Review’s in-person class during summer 2014. I studied diligently for 6 months with Princeton Review, then I decided to take the test in February 2015. I walked out of it without finishing because I knew I was doing terribly on the quant section and would not be able to finish successfully. The Princeton Review material was useful, but the quant material doesn’t go far enough in-depth, and the practice questions are not difficult enough, in my opinion. I was pretty depressed about the test at this point. My friend then referred me to Target Test Prep. I spoke to Jeffrey for about an hour on the phone to re-orient my morale and be introduced to Target Test Prep. I signed up. I decided that I did not need one-on-one tutoring, because I felt I could teach myself the material and test-taking skills. Also, I think the material is very clearly explained. I used Target Test Prep from mid-February to mid-May. I studied 10-14 hours a week consistently. I went through the chapters one by one, rebuilding my quant foundation. Some material was of course repeated from Princeton Review, but a lot of it wasn't and it made me realize how much quant material Princeton Review glosses over. On test day, I did not struggle at all with the questions! I wish I didn’t waste money on the Princeton review class and found this company sooner!
I 100% recommend TTP. I didn't want to spend the money on an instructor and I wanted the flexibility to study whenever I could find the time with my busy work schedule. TTP provided an exhaustive analysis of the quant concepts that helped me feel more comfortable with the problems when I sat for the GMAT. More importantly, I found that I could determine what questions I was able to answer faster and so didn't spend unnecessary time and finished the math section with some time to spare. I honestly feel that this is the best option out there for anyone with a busy schedule who wants to drastically improve their quant score.

I took a live GMAT prep course over 9 weeks and took the exam a few days after the class ended, scoring a 690 (42 on both quant and verbal). A friend recommended Target Test Prep which I used solely for quant drills over about 6 weeks (signed up earlier than I actually started). I retook the exam and scored a 740 (47 on quant, 45 on verbal). The quiz lengths are perfect for quick study sessions and I was really amazed at how my score improved. The problem solutions were thorough and the site made it easy to track my progress. If you are looking to improve your quant score, I highly recommend Target Test Prep.

I scored a 740 on the GMAT with only three weeks of studying, due primarily to my usage of Target Test Prep's Flex Plan to target quantitative. I only had a few weeks to study and I knew that my quantitative skills would be my weakest area, so I scoured the internet and my personal network for recommendations on the most effect way to boost my quantitative score. One of my good friends who scored a 750 on her GMAT recommended Target Test Prep, and I would highly recommend this material to anyone who needs to review quantitative in preparation for the exam.

Target Test Prep’s course structure was exactly what I needed. The dashboard gives you real analytics on your progress, which makes it so much easier to track your strengths and weaknesses. It’s also easy to navigate and simple. As soon as I paid the $1 trial sign up fee, I felt like I was able to get to work immediately. With this plan, I did not take any shortcuts. I did the work. I built myself a calendar around Target Test Prep’s recommended study plan and stuck to it. I tracked my progress on their dashboard, flagging questions I did not understand, and then went back to them to redo later. No other resource I had tried (and I tried many of them) made it so easy to identify and tackle my weaknesses.

The TTP Flexible Plan is hands down the best study option to ace the GMAT Quant section. I have tried books and online materials from almost every other company and none come close to comparing. TTP has study plans that keep you accountable and on track. Concepts are broken down to their core and each study section has tips and tricks embedded in them (these alone got me several questions correct on the exam). There are chapter tests with easy, medium, and hard questions options as well as custom tests where you can decide the difficulty and the time per question. This is hands down the best study materials out there. Do not waste your money on another product.
