Considering TTP for GMAT prep, but concerned about course length and unclear guarantee requirements — do people actually complete it?
I'm currently considering Target Test Prep for GMAT prep, mainly because I’ve heard strong things about their Quant and overall structure. I’m not questioning whether the content is good — from what I’ve seen, the content seems high quality and very thorough.
My concern is more about whether the course is realistically completable, especially for someone working full-time.
TTP seems extremely long: hundreds of hours of videos, tons of lessons, thousands of questions, and a structured study plan. I understand that thoroughness can be a good thing, but at some point I wonder whether the course becomes so long that full completion is unrealistic for a normal working professional within the access period.
That matters to me because if I’m paying a premium price, I don’t just want to use 30–40% of the course selectively. I want to feel like the full product is realistically usable. Otherwise, it raises the question: is the course designed to be completed, or is it so long that most people never actually finish it?
I’m also a bit concerned about the guarantee requirements. I’ve asked a TTP rep multiple times for clear details on the exact benchmarks required for the score guarantee, especially the accuracy benchmarks and what “100% completion” actually means in practical terms. Instead of giving a direct answer, the responses have felt vague/circular and mostly point me back to the guarantee page. But when I check the page, I mainly see the 100% completion requirement and don’t see the exact quantitative benchmarks clearly spelled out.
That has honestly put some doubt in my mind. I’m not saying TTP is bad, and I’m not accusing them of anything. But if a company is selling a premium course with a guarantee, I feel like the requirements should be very clearly explained before someone pays.
So I’m curious:
For people who used TTP while working full-time, did you actually complete the course?
How many months and roughly how many hours did it take?
Did the course feel efficiently thorough, or did it feel unnecessarily long?
Did anyone else have trouble getting clear answers from TTP reps about the guarantee requirements?
Do you think TTP is best used as a full course, or more selectively for weak areas?
I’ve seen some people say TTP feels “long on purpose,” meaning the course is so extensive that completing it for the guarantee becomes very difficult. I don’t know if that’s fair, which is why I’m asking. I’m trying to separate legitimate criticism from internet exaggeration.
Would appreciate honest opinions from people who actually used it, especially working professionals.
