The 1.5-Year Struggle My GMAT journey was a long and exhausting one. I started out studying with a private tutor for a year and a half. Balancing test prep with the intense demands of working full time was grueling. I was squeezing in study sessions on the weekends, early in the mornings, and late into the evenings. Despite the massive time investment and the private tutoring, I hit a wall. I took an official mock exam and scored a 595. I felt incredibly weak on the test material, completely defeated, and I was genuinely about to give up on my dream of pursuing an MBA in the US.
The Turning Point Right as I was ready to throw in the towel, my MBA consultant recommended I try
Target Test Prep. She had heard great things from her other clients, so I decided to take a leap of faith and give it a try. It changed everything.
The TTP Experience From day one, TTP was an amazing platform. What I loved most was how it allowed me to specifically train on my weaknesses while making sure I systematically covered and practiced all the related materials. I didn't have to guess what I needed to study; the platform just guided me.
For 3 intense months, I committed fully to the TTP course. Because of my job, I was still on my grueling schedule—studying only on weekends, early mornings, and late evenings. But this time, every hour felt productive and efficient. The digital course was perfectly structured for someone trying to maximize limited study windows while working full time.
Results & Test Day After finishing the TTP course and grinding through most of the practice tests, I took my first official simulation and scored a 675. That was a huge confidence boost. Two weeks later, I sat for the actual exam and scored a 705.
TTP’s efficient system and structured curriculum were the absolute keys to achieving my 705. That score was the final puzzle piece I needed to make my dream of attending a US MBA program a reality.
Final Thoughts To anyone out there who feels stuck, exhausted by balancing a demanding career with studying, or ready to give up on their target score: don't. A change in strategy and the right platform can make all the difference. Trust the TTP process, stay consistent with whatever hours you can find in your day, and you will see the results.
