As a busy working professional, Target Test Prep was incredibly helpful to me achieving my target GRE score. Because of structured nature of the course, I knew exactly what I was going to study everyday, as well as how I was going to study everyday. I really appreciated how the program was set up to backwards plan from my test date which reassured me that I would have enough time to get the score I wanted. And the clean and simple interface really helped me to put all of my focus into the actual content that I was studying.
Ultimately my score jumped 10 points from my first practice test because of TTP! Anybody who strives to maximize their GRE score should absolutely sign up for TTP.
I could go on for days about the quality of TTP. The way TTP delivers content made previously challenging concepts easy for me, and the flexibility of the study plan was great. I improved my quant score in a matter of weeks by using the custom test feature, drilling hard problems and becoming comfortable and confident with challenging problems across topics. The ability to go back to certain chapters easily was also helpful, and tackling problems in the context of the chapter content was great. Also, the instructors themselves are great - the one-off (free!) webinars were helpful to continuously refine skills and understand new ways to solve problems.
I only signed up for the TTP Quant Service but based on that alone TTP is a five start service. Immensely detailed course but very manageable to break the modules down into sections based on your work schedule and hours available per week. I chose TTP specifically because of their reviews and I can wholeheartedly say I agree with them now after improving my Quant score with their program. The video explanations were exactly what I needed for help and their example problems really set me up for success for the actual test day. I’ve already put another friend onto their program and will keep doing so.
Highly recommend TTP for Quant! They newly launched a Verbal portion but I didn't use it as much, but would still recommend given it comes in the package.
TTP was incredibly detailed, going from the basics to the more complex topics that really lets you learn the material from the ground up. The error analytics tracker was also amazing - allowed me to save questions that I was unsure/got wrong throughout the whole process.
TTP also separates out quant topics so it's easier to go back to certain sections once you've done mock tests, and re-do areas you aren't sure about or know you need to work on.
All the answers, content, and video solutions were super helpful - highly recommend!!!
I used Target Test Prep for 5 months in preparation for the GRE. After not studying math for years and scoring a mid-range score on the diagnostic test, I was able to score a 333 (169 verbal, 164 quant) on the final test. Target Test Prep has a great course plan and progresses through material at an appropriate rate, giving in -depth lessons and practice questions/tests for every subject. I would definitely recommend this course if you are trying to achieve a high score on the GRE. The course can be tailored to whatever score range you desire and includes an option to speed up in case you are running short on time prior to a test. Additionally, including the practice tests (purchased separately) from the ETS website was helpful in preparing me for test-taking conditions prior to my test date.
I was worried about how I would do on the GRE when I first decided I wanted to apply to full time MBA programs. I work in the medical field and hadn't done much that relates to the test in years. I took a baseline test and scored a 318 (158 V, 160 Q). My target programs all require a score above 320, so I started looking for test prep programs.
I knew I learn best through repetition and practice, so when I heard about TTP on reddit, I signed up for the free trial. It really meshed well with my learning style, especially for quant. I ended up signing up for the 4 month plan, which was perfect for me and a great value. Every quant chapter builds upon the chapter before it, and the example questions and explanations were fantastic for learning. I didn't follow the study plan perfectly as I had a decent quant foundation, but I completed quite a bit of it. The medium and hard level questions were VERY close to what I had on the adaptive section of the GRE!
The verbal section was great for the fill in the blank questions. I also enjoyed the breakdown of the CR section and think I could've done even better on the GRE had I completed more of it!
I'm very thankful for TTP, and I'm feeling so much more confident about my upcoming applications!
The Target Test Prep Quant course is a course that allows you to map out your study goals. This helped me manage expectations for time and effort as I went through the course. The ability to tailor the course to my target goal was also very helpful. The staff at Target Test Prep was also very helpful. Any time I ran into an issue with a concept they were very responsive and worked with me if I was struggling to understand a concept or had a question. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone who is seeking to raise their quant score on the GRE.
Stop what you are doing.

Sherpa Prep, and it’s trusted owner, Nafeez, is invested in you. And it’s not a gimmick. These are people who want to make an MBA education and coaching available to everyone, despite background, experience, and education.

I attribute my increased GRE Quant score from 161 to 169 primarily to the Target Test Prep program. I used a couple other types of programs both online and in the form of physical books. My problem is that I have a bad habit of just learning what the answer should be, and memorizing the answer to a question I got wrong rather than really learning the concept behind the problem. With Target Test Prep, my study plan was laid out in such a way that I was forced to actually learn how to do these problems. Having a solid plan with information that continued to be built upon as I progressed, in addition to easy, medium and hard difficulty levels for the quizzes, enabled me to understand the concepts on a fundamental level. Not only was the study plan itself wonderful, but the content was perfect for all levels of mathematical understanding. I learned tricks and tips that I had never seen throughout my many math classes in school. I also wanted to just focus on the quantitative portion rather than the verbal since that is what the programs I am applying to are interested in, and Target Test Prep allowed me to do so, creating a space where I wasn’t distracted by the other aspects of the GRE. I highly recommend this program to anyone taking the GRE.
The prep course provided by Manhattan is comprehensive and includes in depth explanation of every topic and sub topic. My instructor Joe Martin was very helpful and focussed on my improvement areas. I would advise everyone to take personal tutoring as it is the best and you get full attention. Their Vocabulary builder contains plethora of words which really improved my vocabulary in the long run. All personal tutoring lessons are one on one and start with explanation of concepts followed time management strategy to solve questions. However, their practice test are just for improving your concentration skills and giving you hands on experience of actual Gre Test. According to me the official ETS test are actual gold, go ahead and purchase them. Theres a blog which allows students to interact and solve doubts. But overall I will rate Manhattan a 4/5.
