Hey everyone!
I’ve been preparing for the GMAT and thought I’d share my journey so far. I’m targeting a 725+ and balancing my preparation with a full-time job.
I’m a BMS graduate and currently work as an Account Manager at Amazon. I have around 4 years of work experience, and with a full-time job and a fairly hectic schedule, finding a consistent study routine has definitely been one of the biggest challenges.
I come from a non-math background, so Quant has always been an area I’ve had to put extra effort into. I started with TTP and it has been really helpful in getting my fundamentals in place. The explanations are very detailed but easy to follow, and I like that I can go through a concept and immediately reinforce it with practice questions.
The self-paced format has worked particularly well for me because my work schedule isn't always predictable. I can adjust my study schedule around work without feeling like I’m falling behind a fixed class schedule.
The error tracker has also been one of the most useful features for me. It’s helped me notice patterns in the mistakes I make and go back to specific concepts instead of just moving on to the next topic. The detailed explanations for the practice questions have been really useful too, especially when I get something wrong and want to understand where my approach went wrong.
I’ve also been spending a lot of time on Verbal, and TTP has helped me improve significantly across the section. The lessons and strategies have helped me approach different question types much more systematically. I especially like how the explanations break down the reasoning behind the answer. My accuracy has improved quite a bit compared to when I started.
The biggest difference so far has been the confidence I’ve gained with the concepts. Things that initially felt unfamiliar are starting to feel much more manageable. Having everything in one place has also made it much easier for me to stay organised and know what I should be working on next.
I’m now focused on getting into a consistent routine, continuing to work on my weak areas and gradually moving towards mocks and the actual exam.
Hopefully, the journey ahead is as rewarding as the progress so far! 🚀
