Strengths:
- Extremely thorough and comprehensive: TTP starts at the most basic concepts for every topic, so no matter what your background is, it'll set you up for success. I've personally hated geometry since the 2nd grade and was especially concerned about this topic on the GMAT. Not only did TTP make me understand the concepts but it also made me actually LIKE geometry more and more as I went through the chapter. While it may seem annoying to have to learn the most basic concepts, I think this is what really ensures that you have an understanding so deep that you are able to tackle whatever question the GMAT throws at you.
- Expert help available around the clock: Although I didn't sign up for the live classes or personal tutoring, I was able to get all the help I needed from the TTP team. The experts help to break down the solutions for you when you're really stumped on a question. This was especially helpful for my Quant prep when I just could not wrap my head around a problem.
- Schedule and structure: Whether you're studying for the GMAT full-time or only have a few hours to spare each day, you're able to create a customized plan for yourself. The plan also adjusts as you go, so you don't have to worry about how to make up for a day you missed or how to get ahead when you've done a few extra lessons.
Would make the product better:
- Add at least 1-2 full-length practice exams. While the question bank is extremely thorough, taking a practice exam is still a unique experience and an important part of the prep for the GMAT. For me, this was the one piece of the puzzle that TTP was lacking.
- Make answer explanations less repetitive for the Verbal section. I have to admit that the thoroughness and comprehensive nature of the course is what led to my success on the GMAT... but it was still sometimes boring and frustrating to have to read through the RC explanations because of how long and repetitive they were. That being said, an easy solution to this is to just skim through the repetitive parts once you get a hang of the course.
When I was selecting a course, I chose TTP because it had great reviews and it was a relatively economical option. While I haven’t taken any other courses, so cannot speak to their effectiveness, I do think the TTP course gives you a great bang for your buck, and is definitely a more reasonable choice than some of the other courses out there.
Overall, the course is excellent and thorough. Even though I was studying from Asia, the TTP team responded quick enough to my queries that I never felt like I was waiting for a long time. If you truly trust and follow the full course, you can and will get a great score on the GMAT!
