Hi all!
I just committed to attending T20 school -- my target -- and wanted to share a few thoughts using TPP. I'm coming from a pure creative career (high level TV editing + writing) and am doing the fabled pivot. When I was prepping, I didn't see other people like me (100% pure artists) successfully crushing the GMAT or talking about it. But I wanted to be an extremely competitive applicant. So I decided to crush it. If you're a creative, keep reading.
Like you, I decided to go to business school. I set my targets based on career outcomes and location, and figured out the GMAT I needed. I took a diagnostic GMAT with zero prep and got a 68 Quant, 79 Data, and 85 Verbal. 555.
BACKGROUND
I hadn't taken a serious math class since Algebra 2 my sophomore year of high school. Yay for liberal arts. And I had made a good living being an artist. But I wanted to pivot and I couldn't let my sub zero quant drag me down. When I started, I legitimately did not remember what square roots were, couldn't have told you about factoring, any of it. I just didn't know. And honestly, I was mildly depressed. It's hard to be a successful and smart in one thing, and then brutally judged on something completely alien to everything you've done before. The Verbal and data score gave reassurance that if I focused on Quant I would hit a great score. But I had so much work to do, I decided to go for what I read was the best (and most expensive): TPP for four months. I decided it was an investment.
WHY / WHAT / HOW TPP
I legitimately needed to learn everything from the ground up. TPP is structured in chapters by topic, ranging from basics to specifics (like rate problems, compound interest, etc). Each chapters has GMAT quiz questions along the way (60+ in many chapters) , slide summaries of concepts per chapters (condensed chapters), and a massive question bank divided by chapter then by difficulty into additional easy, medium and hard quizzes (and the hards stacked concepts). The error log was extremely intuitive. If you have experience, I could see this being repetitive, lengthly, or boring. But again, I barely knew what a square root was. I need the basics ASAP.
TPP is like a full time class. I spent 250 hours on it by the end -- only on the quant -- and didn't get through everything. I grinned about 2-3 hours a day at night. It was tough.
FIRST ATTEMPT FAILURE
I choose to do a minimal amount of mocks. My goal was learning, not spending 3 hours seeing how much I had learned. I took exactly 1 mock besides the diagnostic. I scored a 625 (Q78, D79, V86). A 70 point jump. Nice. But I also was comfortable on the easy and medium questions.
My first official test was about 135 hours into TPP. I got a 585 (Q75, D79, and V83). That was soul crushing. But I already had a second attempt reserved for 5 weeks after. It coincided with the end of my 4 month of TPP and my target school's application deadline.
SECOND ATTEMPT SUCCESS
With five weeks, I chose to skip doing more mocks. I decided to absolutely grind the TPP basics, and put another 126 hours over the next 5 weeks into TPP. I focused only on their hard question quizzes, and only those hardest questions on the basic concepts (exponents, fractions, rationalizing, quadratics, number theory, etc). My rational was: I could logic a rate problem setup, but I could logic on test day the correct rules of stacked exponents or quadratics hiding weird things, etc.
The biggest change was I deliberately began to chase failure. I just kept doing hard questions I would fail, over, and over, and over again. And it forced me to learn the fundamentals. Notice the little tricks hiding. Spot patterns. And it worked.
I went into my second attempt thinking I was going to modestly improve, but really need to take more time, and figure out a new strategy. I blazed through the test. I had taken no more diagnostics or attempts.
I scored a 655 (Q80, D81, and V86). Each was my best performance. And hit what I needed for my T20.
SUMMARY
The benefit of TPP beyond the score and the goal... it provided guidance, test prep strategy, mental coaching, and most importantly, TPP forced me to put in the work.
It's not for everybody, but if you're a fellow creative pivoting, do the work. Not only will it open the scholarship doors -- but it mentally prepared me for business school and gave me confidence as a former artist that I could hang. I've spent the time studying, learning, sharpening my mental tools.
10/10 would recommend.
