Don't know how it happened but it somehow did. Took the GMAT this morning and scored a 745 (88Q, 88V, 85DI). This is exactly a month after taking it and getting a 655 (82Q, 86V, 79DI). Funny thing is, I took a month off from work for the 655, and was studying on the side of work for the 745. For my initial attempt I focused on TTP (which was super helpful for baseline knowledge, but I do think to an extent the course has too much depth to be super applicable to short-term studying for the GMAT unless you want to grind it for 4-6 months) + OG problems. My score was almost equivalent to my dry first mock (645), which I was shocked by as i was averaging around a 675-705 on mocks. I think it was really 1) bad test habits (not bailing questions when I needed to) and 2) i was just going through the motions when doing questions versus really analyzing why I got things wrong. I also did minimal DI prep since I was doing really good on DI during mocks (never scored <83 prior to first real GMAT FE attempt). Really what helped me the most between my two exams was was for quant - GMAT Clubs practice tests - their math questions are really good (but very hard - I did these tests without any time pressure). Their analytics is also super helpful too. For DI - I just grinded the OG / review / problem packs for DI. I focused on just doing one subject at a time (GI, then TPA, then MSR, then table analysis). Verbal was luckily always a strong area for me. I think realistically it comes down to logically going from right to wrong, and learning the different parts of an argument (I recommend Manhattan prep here).

Hi mashedk,
Great job! 745 is an incredible GMAT score! I'm thrilled that TTP was a part of your journey. Good luck with things moving forward.
