TTP is unparalleled in getting you prepared for the GMAT. I started studying with Manhattan Prep books and found it helpful for general test knowledge, format, and strategies. But, the style of just reading content and no practice wasn't working for me and I was scoring in the low/mid 600s on practice tests (used Veritas for this initially) and wasn't improving. After the holidays, I needed a new way to study that would keep me engaged and on track.

I took the leap and tried TTP and while it's intensive and lengthy, it's worth it. I was getting 49s in Quant on the OG tests after TTP and got a 48 on the actual GMAT online. I also did the beta Verbal course on TTP and think it has great potential - I liked the SC parts but felt the critical reasoning content to be overkill, especially after reading through MP. RC has always come pretty naturally to me so I didn't mind that they didn't have this up and running yet.

I'd recommend following the plan they outline. I printed the review sheets, took notes on them, etc and made flash cards before the bigger tests. I don't think you need to do ALL the quizzes tbh - for some of the later chapters, I followed the accelerated plan and then came back to the quizzes I didn't do if I felt like I needed more targeted practice later.

First time cold test (veritas test): 550 (33Q, 33 V)
after Manhattan (veritas test): 620 - 650 (~43 Q, ~35 V)
After TTP (OG Tests): got scores between 680 and 750, high of 49Q and 44V

Actual GMAT: 740 (48Q, 44V)
