One of the best resources out there for preparing for the quantitative section of the exam. I practiced quite a few problems from their question bank. It has over 2300 questions. The difficulty level was close to what I faced in the real test. You can create your own custom tests catering to a specific topic or difficulty level. Also, the analytical dashboard is a big help in keeping yourself motivated.
I would like to thank Scott and the entire TTP team for helping me out with my preparation. Getting a good quant score in GRE was important for my applications and you guys made it possible.
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!
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.
Target Test Prep helped my quant score immensely, by 12 points exactly! It was truly like night and day. It broke down each concept and problem so clearly that it was hard to not study well. I had tried Manhattan Prep and Kaplan previously and found Target Test Prep to be much more useful and affordable! Their quick and easy formula sheet was also super helpful in helping me keep track of all my notes and concepts that I learned. The staff is also great with one on one help if you need someone to talk to. Overall they delivered a quality experience for test takers. Please please please save yourself the time and use this for your quant prep from day 1!
I studied with EmpowerGRE for 3 months, and then Magoosh for 4 months, and after two tests, my highest quant score was 152. Needless to say, math does not come easily to me.
But I then studied for less than a month with Target Test Prep, and I scored a 159, and didn't even feel prepared for the exam. With just another couple of weeks, I feel like I could've scored into the low-mid 160s.
The best thing about this course is how it gives you a blueprint for targeted studying. It gives you in-depth diagnostics as to where you struggle so that you can really hone in on the very specific areas that you're struggling with (or at least need to improve on)-- I've yet to see anything like that kind of precision on any other test software.
Also, the guys at Target are extremely receptive and responsive to constructive criticism, suggestions, and any help you might need.
I just scored 170 on the quant part, because of the intensive training provided by TTP. To be fair, I must begin by saying that I do have a background in math, but in my opinion only half of the test is actually knowing theory. The other half is knowing problem solving strategies and how to apply them quickly. TTP's course does an excellent job at training you for this. First, because the exercises correlate almost 100% with those on the actual test, so you are going to be ready for what you're getting on the big day. Second, because the exercises are organized by sub-topics AND difficulty levels. This last point is crucial. For example, you can train the sub-topic "Work" problems (which are contained in a broader class of "Ratio" problems) separately. This has really helped me a lot, because I could train the specific places that I was falling behind. Finally, after each question that I did not get right, I'd check and study the test strategies presented in the videos. These have really helped me not only get more questions correctly but also improve my time (and if you have not taken the test yet, trust me: every second counts). TTP is hands the best option around to prepare for the quant part of the GRE.
