Quants was not my best suit as it is for most people from my country. After having studied using materials provided by Career Launcher online GMAT prep (an India based prep company), I scored Q44 in my first diagnostic mock. I expected it to be higher since I had gone through all of the concepts well. I tried doing a quant section from e-GMAT as well but I couldn't score well in the cementing quizzes they have and this left me feeling like a loser. I thought I didn't have it in me to do well in quants. Through the study buddy forum here I met a person who claimed that he had improved from Q42 to Q49-50 after using TTP. So I finally turned to TTP and decided to start with the 1$ trial. And I fell in love with their course!
Here's what I loved about TTP (specifically their quants):
1. The chapters make everything simple and very easy. I understood the logic behind everything and in effect, did not have to memorise anything. There is a logical progression to all the chapters and the sub-topics. It’s very easy to follow, especially for a person who never enjoyed Math. I started enjoying it for the first time.
2. Chapter tests: there are chapter tests after each chapter. These chapter tests have all difficulty level questions: easy, medium and hard. These are everything you need to practice the concepts learnt. They cover almost all types of questions that GMAT can possibly ask. You can rest assured that the concepts you’ve just learnt for a chapter will be ingrained in your head due to enough practice through repetition and comprehensive solutions.
3. Study plan: This is one of the best features on their platform. You can customise this based on your personal time commitment per day or week and it’ll show you exactly what you need to do everyday. There is a sense of achievement when a task is ticked off the plan and it always kept me going. This was key to my success as it kept me on track and showed me realistically how further I had to go.
4. Support: I reached out on their messenger often with small and big doubts, serious and silly questions, and Jeff and Marty were always there ready to answer. They gave long comprehensive answers and responded to any follow-up questions. They always replied well within 3 hours of asking the questions.
5. Strategy lessons and AWA: This program also gave me access to extremely insightful strategy and AWA lessons. Strategy lessons revolve around how to approach prep, how to take mocks, how to tackle pacing issues during the real exam, how to tackle anxiety before test day, etc. Their AWA lessons is all I referred to before the actual exam and scored a 6 on the actual AWA section.
6. Miscellaneous bonus points:
I got 15 days extension on my TTP plan through their reference program.
FYI: I finished the entire quant section with ALL the chapter and review tests in 3 months. They say the course is toooooo long. It is, but I found it fun and enjoyed it. It was almost like solving puzzles. They made it so enjoyable. I was able to finish the whole thing in 3 months by spending 4 hrs per day on average. Towards the end, I was scoring above Q47-50 consistently in official mocks and finally scored Q49 that is after I guessed on the last few questions and even missed marking one question.
