Like most people, I started with Manhattan Prep's "All the Quant" and, quite frankly, it was just not much more than a thorough description of each skill tested. It just did not do much for me and I did not feel confident in any of the quant (nor verbal) sections of the MGMAT tests (I started with 40Q and hovered around that number). I theoretically knew that I needed to "fill in gaps," but I had no idea where I was lacking; honestly, I felt like I needed help in everything.
I've heard enough about TTP and I was sold after the initial week trial. Having prior teaching experience, this is best practice - diagnose your current level of performance, then fill in the gaps. I no longer having access to TTP since my membership expired, but I started really sub-par. If I recall correctly, the program questioned my desire for 49-51Q based on my diagnostic, but I knew what I wanted! TTP does a fantastic job of providing exemplar questions for each question and skill type, content that Manhattan Prep lacked.
TTP is a marathon. I spent between 2-5 hours a day on TTP (I wanted to give up during Number Properties), but it was certainly worthwhile. IMO there aren't quick fixes or shortcuts to the GMAT. Invest the time in a program like TTP and you will definitely see gains - not just in your score, but your confidence.
Thank you, Scott, Jeff and team!
