Strengths:

-Additional verbal practice questions

TTP is the best way to prepare for the GMAT, period. The content is well-structured, and ensures that your base of knowledge as it relates to the type of questions asked is very strong. I was initially skeptical about the efficacy of an online course, but there is a reason why so many people, including myself, recommend this course. It is comprehensive, and perhaps most crucially, it has features that eliminate so much of the administrative pain associated with studying. The integrated error log as you progress through the score is so helpful. Same story with the TTP analytics, which help hone in on weak areas.

If you put the effort in, a fantastic 700+ score is possible.

TTP - The best in the business

Strengths:

- Excellent Dashboard to track progress.
- The error logging system makes it easy to identify weak areas.
- Simple and lucid course structure which gets progressively difficult.
- Huge bank of questions for quant.

Would make the product better:

Non-native speakers may need to supplement TTP with the OG guide for Verbal, however during my prep I noted that new questions were continuously being added for the verbal section.

As I'm sure many of the people reading this have, I came across TTP while scouring reddit and GMATclub to find the best prep company. I decided to get the free trial and after I had used it for a day or two, I knew it was right for me.

The UI and course material of TTP is second to none and is really simple to understand! In terms of volume and quality for quant - TTP is the clear choice. Historically TTP has been known to not be very comprehensive for verbal but credit to the team for really building that out too!

The TTP instructors were highly accessible and were always happy to answer queries and to provide insights over mail.

Strengths:

- Great dashboard to show progress
- Many practice questions which force repetition
- Concepts are taught in a logical manner, and build on each other

Would make the product better:

- Some answers to questions were still a bit tricky to understand
- IR section was not really covered, could be an issue for students with little background in this

This is literally a one stop shop for obtaining an elite GMAT score. When I describe it to my peers, I liken it to having a personal coach who will take your of your nutrition, exercise routine and program structure - All you need to do is show up.

It is a long course, no doubt about it, and at times can feel endless. As long as you can commit, put in the hours (having a time tracker on the main dashboard helps immensely with this) you will get decent results.

By the time it came round to start on the official practice tests, I was amazed at the scores I was getting.

Overall a no BS, straightforward program that will get you results if you stick with it.

I used TTP to prepare for the GMAT and had an excellent experience doing so. The content they teach is very easy to understand and digest. I also really enjoy how their lessons are structured and tracked. It ‘gamifies’ the entire experience and makes it more enjoyable. The questions in their question bank were very similar to GMAT official questions. They have a detailed roadmap that alternates between Quant and Verbal lessons which I found really helpful (as opposed to tackling one section then the next). After 4 months of TTP, I ended up scoring 750 and getting into two out of the four M7 schools I applied to (R1 2022)!

Best Quant Resource for anyone who is not a 'Math person'!

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.

Everything you need to boost your Quant score

Solely using TTP, I was able to improve my quant score from a baseline of 36 to a 48 on test day. I achieved steady incremental improvement thanks to the incredibly detailed answer explanations as well as the tracking and analytics the program provides for all wrong answers. While the lessons were helpful, the myriad question sets and practice tests were the real difference maker. The program sets test score goals as you progress through each lesson and stage and enables you to benchmark your progress and really hone in on the subjects that require the most attention. I had a quick turnaround to take the GMAT but was still able to get to the point, through the repetition demanded by the TTP program, where I felt comfortable with every type of quant question and every way in which the exam could try to trick me. The program includes a handy tips section that offers helpful reminders about study traps and offers test day strategies. Every practice test in the program was the exact same format as the GMAT, which made the transition to test day easy.

Comprehensive platform - TTP

My GMAT journey began in July, when I figured that I need to start preparing for the exam right away - considering that admissions to masters courses would probably start in October. I had roughly 2-3 months to study for the test and attempt it thereafter.

I started preparing with some free resources on YouTube. After a couple of weeks of doing this, I attempted an official practice exam to gauge my strengths & weaknesses. I got a 610. The score was surely in the range that I expected considering I wasn't in touch with various concepts like geometry, permutations & combinations. Additionally, I realised that the verbal used in the GMAT was extremely different to what I was taught through school and university. What sounded right to me was in most cases wrong, and I knew I had my work cut out.

I subscribed to TTP after speaking to a couple friends who got a great score. They recommended TTP.

The platform in itself is extremely comprehensive. It divides the entire course into various topics. You're expected to study each individual topic and attempt tests of that particular topic. It also creates a study plan for you considering your timelines and personalises the course for you. You're expected to get a certain target score in each topic. You can go through the concepts repeatedly until you get the target score. Each topic has multiple tests in 3 difficulties, so there's no lack of practice questions! As you go through this process for each topic, you automatically get better and more confident in these topics.

I repeated this for each topic. Once I was done with the whole course, I attempted the official practice tests on mba.com. Focused on time management and that was essentially it.

I'd recommend TTP for most people who are studying for the GMAT. The verbal is a little hard to study through, but if you focus through it, you see the questions differently and instinctively see errors. You could also couple the verbal course along with free videos on YouTube for whichever topic you feel you're lacking in. For quant, it is absolutely optimal.

Since there is a lot of reading, it is essential that you have your mind fully prepped, how you do that is up to you. I worked out, played football and meditated daily and made sure I was in the right headspace to study.

This is what worked for me. Keep in mind that TTP is extremely comprehensive. That's good if you need the extra reinforcement, like I needed. But if you're short on time, you wouldn't be able to complete the course. If you have time on your hands, I'd recommend the course 100%.

All the best!

Hi @faazil10,
Thanks for the debrief! I just had a small question for you. I have around 2 months left now for my GMAT. Is that still enough time for me to use the TTP course well? Also regarding verbal, in what way was TTP "hard to study through"? Any more tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

When I began my GMAT journey I started with a 560. I spent 3 months using other GMAT study prep resources in conjunction with the OG resources, and ended up getting a score of 610. I decided that I needed to try a different resource, one that was much more thorough, and took a chance with TTP's 4 month dedicated study, and it was the best decision I made. The course is long and thorough, but if you follow their instructions/recommendations on how to approach the course and its material, you will reach your target score. I got a 730 on my official GMAT.

I started my GMAT journey with a group class, a type of "one size fits all" kind of class. 5 weekends later, I realized my money wasn't served well since the whole point of that course was to learn tricks... I took the GMAT twice with the same score, I was only wasting my time.

I learnt about TTP from a coach that highly recommended it, since most of the students he's placed at top 10 MBAs went through TTP for their GMAT journey. I tried the 1 dollar trial, and loved the structure and how easy it was to start studying.

At TTP, you can put your target score, which I specified as a 700-730 range. After 4 months of studying and going through the accelerated plan, I managed to score a 720. I loved how specific the study plan gets for both the quant and verbal sections, which allowed me to really learn the topics and be ready for exam day.

Highly recommended for those who are currently overwhelmed when thinking of how to start to study for the exam. All you need to do is put hours into it.

TTP is a great program if you use it correctly. It is easy to use, has helpful advice in its Strategy chapter, highlights the strongest and weakest chapters, has customizable tests, has clear and detailed explanations, you can set your study program to your target score, and everything else you need to prepare for the test. It will require a lot of hours if you want to do the complete course, but has an accelerated plan that might help under certain circumstances. I did not use any other materials besides TTP and the two free official practice exams. I would definitely recommend TTP!
