Target Test Prep - Believe in the Grind

by saahiljain » Sun Mar 24, 2024 2:07 am
Hi Everyone, I'm Saahil, and I scored a 695 (740-750, 98th percentile) on the GMAT Focus Edition in November.

I'm 24 years old, and have been working at a financial services company for almost 3 years now.

I decided to take the GMAT in July last year, and chose TTP after extensive research and the free 5 day trial cleared up any doubts I had. It took me 4.5 months to get through the course, after accounting for stressful days at work when I was too tired to study and the occasional Friday night drinks grabbing with friends when I was too hungover to study.

The way the course is structured is brilliant, its pretty lengthy but for good reason. The quality of questions is excellent, and the hard questions really make you think on the spot, and that gives you the ability to be able to tackle almost any question during the actual exam. GMAT exams have a tendency to throw anything at you, which when students give mocks will realize, and TTP trains you for this eventuality.

The video solutions are good, but I never watched them, because the text solutions are crystal clear with logic. The chat button is available if you want any clarification, and the team is mostly good at getting back to you in time.

I wish the verbal and DI sections had more questions like quant (which is an absolute mammoth to get through). I trusted the course in the sense that I knew if I solved every question properly I'd be in a very good place to get an excellent score.

I didn't follow their timetable feature - I was working alongside prepping and sometimes I was just too drained after work, so I went through the course at my own pace and made effort to grind on the weekends.

Overall, I think this course + OG questions + mocks is all you really need, and you should have everything in place to get an outstanding score.

Hi saahiljain,

Wow!!! A GMAT score of 695 is absolutely phenomenal! This is a masterful display of what can be accomplished when you work hard and set high goals. So many future (and present) GMAT students could learn so much from your story.

I’m also thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the TTP course. Your thoughts on TTP are spot on! Again, congratulations on this AMAZING achievement! Feel free to reach out to the TTP team anytime. Good luck with things moving forward!!!
