I first began studying for the GMAT early in 2025. At the time, I took the test for granted and studied using the GMAT question bank from the MBA website for about a month and a half. As a result, my score ended up reflecting my lackluster preparation, specifically on the quant section (595, Q75, V83, DI80). After taking my first attempt in April, I took a bit of a break from studying for it again until September, at which point I decided I needed to take my prep a bit more seriously. I ended up reading some reviews online about TTP and decided to start their free 5-day trial to restart my preparation. I wanted to focus mainly on the quant section, so I began there and quickly found out that I was very underprepared when I first took the test.
The quick, efficient tips and tricks that TTP used to work through complex quant questions were a major key to the success I had on the quant section in my second attempt. I decided that TTP was worth the price tag and began my subscription. As I worked through the quant concepts, I found that they builded on each other very well if you follow the course in order. It starts off with a general overview of quant essentials that you would need for the section and then works its way through each concept that could be tested on the actual GMAT.
I spent about 2 months reading all the concept chapters and working through the practice questions and tests. In this time, one of the most useful resources was the error tracker provided in the course. For each question you get wrong, you are given the option to tag it in your error log under one of several reasons (did not understand the concept, careless math error, etc.). I highly recommend utilizing this tool, as I found it to be the most effective way to drill concepts that did not quite stick into your head. Working through each problem again while knowing exactly why I got it wrong the first time was critical in my preparation. Once I finished reading and practicing all the concepts, I took a couple practice exams and saw that my prep with TTP had definitely paid off, as I consistently scored within my target range.
I decided it was time to schedule my exam and ended up taking it on December 6th. I was admittedly nervous before I got seated, but once I began (started with quant), I quickly realized that I was much better prepared than the first attempt. I felt like the quant section was a breeze, as I easily worked through most questions with little to no struggle (one or two were still quite difficult for me, but still did not take up too much time). As opposed to my first attempt, where I consistently got stuck on questions with no idea how to approach it, I found each question very digestible and solvable.
The DI and verbal sections ended up being a bit of a struggle for me, as I was not able to fit those sections into my prep with TTP. However, once I submitted and saw my score, I could not help but be pleased, as it was at the top end of my target range (685, Q89, V83, DI80). I am contemplating taking the exam once more, this time focusing mainly on DI and verbal prep, and would certainly utilize TTP's resources again if I did.
