Course is well planned.. Great for beginners and retailers too. Course offers comfort of study and very helpful for non native speakers too.
The ease of use and customization as per your weak areas helps improve score faster.
Easy to use on any gadget helps take course at any place.
Ample of material and questions are available for practice.
There are 200+ videos on each and every topic for Quantitative, Verbal and AWA. There are 1300+ practice questions. For every practice question you answer there will be a Video explanation as well as Text explanation for the same. Even if you have personal doubts, you can always mail them. They reply in a day or two most probably and are really supportive
The course was exactly what I needed, and I wish I had found it earlier. It went through the GRE quant content in an easy, clearly organized way. The explanations were amazing, and considering how out of touch I have been with this type of math, I am amazed at how quickly I was able to grasp concepts. The methods taught for solving specific types of questions - that normally felt out of my reach - were simple and very intuitive. The additional tutoring service was exceptional, and I looked forward to each session because it was nice having those "I get it" moments so often (thanks to Jeff!). I can't recommend this service enough.
Best quant course. I started with 154 in quantitative practice test and scored 163. Some questions of target test prep are more difficult than the official GRE , but this may help you to have an optimal preparation. The chapters are really clear and the video explanation makes every step crystal clear. There are many test chapters therefore it is difficult to complete every test for every chapter. I started completing every test but ended up doing only a few per chapter, otherwise I would have never finished. If you are looking to improve your quant score this is the best course. also the price is very good
For the verbal part I prepared it by my own.
I can't imagine ever getting into the right headspace to take the GRE without TargetTestPrep, let alone getting into grad schools!
Scott and Jeff are GRE lifesavers who raised my quant score from 152 to 164! I tutored with them both and I can tell you this for sure: they are the real deal. Patient, persistent and endlessly supportive! They worked closely with me to create a realistic timeline and cultivate new strategies for solving problems. They are truly invested in their students' success.
The TTP Online GRE course is in a league of its own as far as study material. By far the most COMPREHENSIVE quant study guide I’ve seen, it closely monitors your progress and compares your performance to others.
I never would have made it to my GRE finish line without TargetTestPrep. And I feel much more confident applying to grad schools now because I did. Thank you TTP!

Like my title says, I found this course extremely valuable. Not only did it give great overviews of quant concepts and ways to approach the verbal section, this course teaches how to approach the GRE from a strategic standpoint. There are tricks to the GRE that knowing can make or break your score and I found that Kaplan gave me great insight into successfully understanding them. My personal tutoring sessions were tailored for me from a personable, knowledgeable, well-qualified GRE prep coach and my classes were taught by a woman who I frequently emailed with my concerns; I found her responsive, respectful, and caring. This product is expensive, a little bit too expensive, which reflects in my 4 star general rating. However, I believe that I was much better off walking into my official GRE than I would have been without the course.
I had an incredible experience working through Target Test Prep's self study materials and working with two of the tutors, Jeff and Scott. My score improved by 8 points after using the materials for ~3 months.
I originally took the GRE after studying for ~2 months with Kaplan materials, and my quant score was ~5 points lower than it had been using their practice tests. I thought it was helpful to complete their course so I could do the in person practice test day, but the quantitative portion of their program didn't help me significantly improve my score.
After chatting with a mentor and realizing that I needed to get a much better quantitative score in order to get into the MBA programs that i was interested in, I started looking into other tutoring options. My mentor recommended Target Test Prep, and I'm so glad that I listened to her advice! Scott and Jeff are extremely patient tutors, and gave me very direct feedback on my progress throughout my time working with them in an empathetic way. They also broke down the GRE problems in a digestible way, and they were more than willing to go over an explanation two or three times if it didn't make sense to me the first time.
The self study materials were also extremely helpful, because they clearly outlined the sections/types of problems that I needed to work on. When I study I have a habit of avoiding the questions that I'm not good at, and this program forced me to break this habit. The timed custom tests that I created through their program were also extremely helpful and resembled the timing/type of problem on the actual test. By the time I got to test day, I knew that I could have studied more but the online tool clearly outlined that I had done a lot of work and that it was possible for me to improve my score. During the test I felt much more relaxed than I did when I took the test post the Kaplan program, and when I got my score I was completely surprised to see a 165 on the screen. My quantitative score ultimately improved by 8 points, and I am feeling MUCH more confident about applying to top MBA programs. I'm so grateful for this program and all of the time and energy Scott and Jeff put in to helping me achieve my GRE goals!
The quant section of target test prep is amazing. People can you it to learn all the concepts required for GRE. The exercise mimic GRE style questions. Follow the study plan studiously to become meritorious in GRE quant section. It improved my score a lot like more than 10 points. Of course you have to put your effort. The course is intensive and worth the effort in the end. All my doubts were answered in a timely manner and they helped me a lot. Finally i would like to add that Target test prep is bit expensive, but its the best for everything GRE quant.
The Target Test Prep GRE Quant Course provided me an affordable and effective preparation for the GRE quant section.
To put it simply, The Target Test Prep GRE Quant Course gives you all the theoretic and practical means needed to tackle every specific kind of real test question.
On the theoretic side, the course provides lessons covering not only the different kind of questions that might appear when taking the GRE, but also the shortcuts to solve problems correctly and quickly.
On the practical side, the course offers a huge number of questions to practice with, each linked with the lesson of the concept tested.
If I were asked, I would definitely suggest Target Test Prep to anyone aiming to boost his or her quant score.
Good Value for Money combined package, i.e. the book + CD + Online Materials with many exercises that help a lot when practicing. While the professor is giving the class there are other teacher in the room just to answer the students questions and also if we have questions after class we are free to send them an e-mail and they answer us very fast.
The topics and responses are discussed in great detail. There is an immaculate Foundation and Content review chapter under the AWA section as well, which is probably the best feature of this product. It also discusses the pacing strategy (writing the essay within 30 min) and nuances of Scoring.
The Foundation and Content Review Chapters under both, Quant and Verbal sections are very detailed and beginner friendly. The theoretical coverage on the topics is fairly detailed.
The answers to the practice questions, in the book, are very detailed and insightful.
Practice test are of paramount importance for test prep. The six tests equip the user to perform SWOT analysis and monitor progress from time to time. The test analysis report is a lifesaver!

I took Kaplan when I thought that I wanted to be a dentist and needed to take the DAT. I took Kaplan when I wanted to become a nurse and needed to take the NCLEX; and I just took Kaplan again because all my PHD programs want me to have a GRE score. Kaplan has been there my entire academic career. I passed each test the first time around and for this current GRE for my PHD, we consider it a formality, because schools ultimately let in whom they want to let in at this level. But each school had a preferred 149 for verbal and I received a 147, and I was told to not bother about my math due to my subject matter, but guess what? That accidentally improved, there was barely anything on the test that was actually "hard". I remember propping my feet up in my cubical with the keyboard on my leg typing away during the essays. I struggle the most with argumentative essays the entire month, but after trudging along with the examples provided and a session with my coach, well I told you how I was typing in that cubicle. I knew I did good when I walked out. But was excited to see my math score, I wanted to cry! but they were trying to finish me up in the testing center. We have done it once again Kaplan, but I hope this is the last time I see you guys! :lol:
