I decided to go with TTP because of the structure and concept overview that it provided. I liked that each chapter had practice problems and tricks to make the content more digestible. Studying for a test like the GRE can be super daunting, especially if you don't know where to start. Having the practice sections online, similar to the actual test format, prepared me for test conditions, while also making me rest assured knowing that I essentially had a solid curriculum to follow every day.
Being able to revisit old quizzes and incorrect practice problems really helped me understand what I needed to focus on. I used TTP for the month leading up to my test, and upon completing all of the chapters and quizzes, felt confident on test day. Definitely recommend!
My first and second exam, after finish the Magoosh program, was 154. Then, I tried with TTP, increasing my score first to 160 and then to 164.
The program is direct to the point, easy to learn, and with valuable information about the difficult questions. They teach you with few words, all the formulas, and with few examples of every level. Then, you have unlimited tests and exercises, cluster them by subject and grade. Also, they show you the data with an excellent analysis to guide your study plan.
By the way, I didn't have enough time to finish the program, imagine if I could finish it.
Honestly, it is the best option. I invested time looking for the best program; I correctly say that this is the best one!
With three weeks of dedicated review I saw a substantial improvement in my Quant score. I loved the layout of the test prep software because the active learning really forces you to interact with the material in order to learn the concepts. Other platforms use videos but with TTP you learn through reading the lessons and completing practice questions. Also TTP has AMAZING analytics, if you use it. Every time you get a practice question wrong you log what caused the error (e.g. careless math mistake, lack of knowledge, reading the question wrong). Overtime you see trends as to why you're answering questions incorrectly. This is powerful tool that gives you insight on what you can do to improve your score without waiting to error log a practice test. Another tip: follow the software, do not cherry pick modules. You get the most out of the software when you follow the course plan set out by the software.
Target Test Prep was such a great tool to achieve my desired grade! I had to juggle a full-time job and studying for the GRE, which wasn't easy, but TTP really helped me organize my study. I actually started off studying with textbooks only, but once I tried TTP I couldn't go back! The structure of the course is super well organized and there are plenty of exercises to go through. My favourite feature was Custom Tests, which allowed me to design my own blocks of just hard questions. With little more than 1 month with TTP I achieved my goals, so no regrets.
I had a very difficult B school testing journey. Starting with the GMAT over a year ago and I took up the TTP GMAT course which helped me completely relearn all math fundamentals as well as advanced techniques I had not seen before. It took me a while to complete as I was far behind but it was very worthwhile in the end. Unfortunately after COVID hit my exams were canceled again and again, so I decided to dive into the GRE instead as they offered online testing more frequently. I took the exam 3 times and ended with a 327 165Q and 162V. I could not have done it without TTP.
I hadn't handled questions related to quadratic equations, geometry and inequalities in nearly a decade when I started preparing for GRE. So naturally, I wasn't doing very well on the practice sets. A friend of mine told me about Target Test Prep and how it had helped him improve his quant score.
I signed up for the $1 trial and loved the course material. The way it's broken down into separate chapters and the question categories at the end of each chapter (Easy, Medium, Hard) make it extremely helpful for someone starting from scratch. I ended up using the course for over a month and used their ready -made study plan. It improved my thought process around quant questions, my approach and the speed in handling them, a lot. I made sure I did all the example questions as part of a chapter which helped me asses my grasp on the chapter, on the go.
I especially loved their bookmark feature as it allowed me to revise the important points from various chapters (that I had bookmarked) the night before my practice and actual test.
I would definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to do a thorough preparation and achieve a high quant score.
I was very impressed with Magoosh for many reasons. The material was great - very informative, relevant and realistic, and video explanations for every problem are provided. Even better was the format, which allowed you to take dozens of computer-based specialized quizzes and section tests, allowing you to focus and hone your skills. The customer service was the best I have ever experienced, with responses usually coming within several minutes. Amazingly, Magoosh extended my subscription for free, since I had not used it much before it was due to expire (I was still focused on my work/research at that time, not focused on GRE prep). After studying for several months using Magoosh almost exclusively (I used Manhattan Prep flash cards too) I got a 323 on the GRE (4.5/6 on AWA), which was higher than I really needed. I would recommend Magoosh GRE premium to everyone, it is a wonderful product!
Magoosh is an exceptional service for GRE preparation. I was on a “crash course” (2 months to take the GRE for my first time – while continuing my full-time job, studying on evenings and weekends only). I signed up for Magoosh and dove into my studies. After 2 months, and after my GRE, I can declare the following: Magoosh is a fantastic GRE prep service, delivering everything they promise, and more!
The Magoosh training methodology is exceptional. The videos lessons are complimented with on-screen pen work following along the script, reinforcing learning with both visual and audible stimulation – a proven method used for decades, and mastered by Magoosh. The lessons are only a few minutes long each allowing for short study sessions and have options for up to 2x speed dubbing to allow quick review of topics you’re familiar with.
The Magoosh practice questions have very thorough explanations for how they got to the right answer, and they also directly link to an appropriate lesson for review if you need more help. The Magoosh website also allows personal notes for each question (and lesson) so you can guide your own memory through your own personal challenges. When I took the GRE, there were no questions that surprised me - Every type of question for both math and verbal were represented in the Magoosh products.
One area Magoosh needs to improve is their Analytical Writing system. The ETS website has published their entire question bank for this area, and Magoosh should do 2 things. First, use those questions directly for their own practice, and second, build a detailed methodology to attack those specific 300 questions. I've provided this to Magoosh, and look forward to them updating their service to be better into the future. Even with this, the score remains 5 out of 5!
I cannot recommend TTP enough. What really differentiates TTP is that they captures the "tricks of the trade" in bite size formats. After every test chapter, you can identify 5-10 takeaways for the test that come in very handy and save you time. I took the GMAT with wildly different quant scores of 42-48. After using Manhattan and Magoosh for Quant I can say TTP is miles ahead of them and I highly recommend! Thanks to their team for also always being a moment's away for help and support. They also make proprietary formula and concept sheets that are great for on the go studying. Highly highly recommend!!
I began studying for the GRE in June 2019 using a variety of unhelpful programs. I took my first GRE in October and was unhappy with my quant score. I researched the best GRE courses to help raise my quant score, and I decided to give TTP a try. TTP was reasonably priced, and I liked the structure of it. I cannot say enough great things about how helpful TTP was in preparing me for my GRE. The explanations to the questions are thorough and simple, and if you have questions, the TTP team is great at answering them. I completed all the modules and did all the practice questions, and it raised my GRE score substantially.
