Hi everyone,
I’m new here and would really appreciate some guidance from people who have actually used TTP or E-GMAT.
I’ve been preparing for the GMAT Focus Edition for the past 10 months, but I haven’t seen much improvement in my scores. My latest official score is 500, and I’m targeting 720+ within the next 3 months.
From my analysis, I’m fairly comfortable with Verbal and DI, but Quant is my biggest weak area, and it’s also dragging down my DI performance.
I’m currently considering prep courses, specifically TTP and E-GMAT, but TTP is quite expensive for me. So I wanted honest feedback from people who have used either (or both):
I’d really value honest, experience-based insights so I can make the right decision given my time constraint.
Thanks in advance!

- How effective is E-GMAT for Quant, especially compared to TTP?
- Is it structured enough for someone struggling significantly with Quant basics?
- Did you see a real score improvement after using it?
I’d really value honest, experience-based insights so I can make the right decision given my time constraint.
Thanks in advance!

10 months of prep and still at 500 with Quant as the main drag. I know this exact feeling and I'll give you my honest take, not the marketing version.
TTP is genuinely better than E-GMAT for GMAT Focus Quant, in my opinion. Here's why it worked for me: TTP builds from pure fundamentals and forces you to understand *why* each concept works before you move on. It's granular. If you're struggling at the basics, that structure matters a lot. E-GMAT has improved over the years, but their Quant section feels more like a course designed to cover topics than one designed to build genuine problem-solving instincts.
The "735+ in 2 months" claims are usually outliers, not the norm. People who pull those results almost always had prior Quant exposure (engineering, finance) and were already above 600 going in. For someone at 500 targeting 720+, I'd plan for 4-5 months, not 2-3.
A few things I'd add given your specific situation:
First, 10 months of prep suggests you might be practicing problems without fixing the underlying knowledge gaps. More practice isn't the answer if the foundation is shaky. TTP's chapter system forces you to identify exactly which topics are broken.
Second, for the GMAT Focus Edition specifically, the Quant section rewards speed and pattern recognition. TTP's volume of practice problems is a genuine advantage here.
Third, if TTP's price is a real constraint, do the free trial for a week and see if the teaching style clicks with you. The style matters more than the brand.
You're not far from 720. The jump from 500 to 650+ is mostly about fixing knowledge gaps. From 650 to 720, it's about execution under time pressure. TTP addresses both.

Hi numquamquas,
Here is a rational, 3-step approach we recommend to help you identify the course that truly suits your prep needs:
1. Check verified reviews on GMAT Club.
You will find hundreds of genuine reviews for all major GMAT courses. These insights offer a broad, balanced perspective.
2. Explore free trials.
Every reputable course offers a free trial. Just a few hours (or even minutes) on each platform will often give you a clear sense of whether it matches your learning style.
3. Choose the course that fits you.
Once you have explored the options hands-on, go with the one that feels most aligned with your preferences and study rhythm.
We understand this may not be the high-pitched, “X is the best course!” type of recommendation some may expect. But this method is logical and reliable.
A few minutes spent following these steps can ensure that your decision is firsthand, unbiased, and well-informed.
Thanks, and all the very best!
