How long until
TTP Verbal is fully baked and the BETA tag comes off? I saw a post of yours somewhere else mentioning the RC section and how that and everything else would take a few months. August?
Or does it not really matter since 90 percent of everything is already done and in the beta. Also, should someone rush (if that is even possible) through the course or take their time with it?
August sounds about right as a time when RC will have been added. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have all RC chapter tests up by August, but we'll see.
At the same time, the SC and CR courses are complete, and CR covers about 70 percent, or more, of what you need for RC. So, for someone who would be happy to be a bit creative about finding practice questions to complement the materials, the course is already a great way to master GMAT verbal, and we are adding chapter tests pretty quickly.
Regarding rushing or taking your time, taking your time is the way to go. You could quickly read and click your way through the course, but you would likely miss out on a lot of value that way. If you take your time to really think about what's being said and to analyze every exercise and every choice of every practice question, you'll learn way more and develop much more skill.
I think someone could rush through a quant course and learn a lot of what has to be learned, because quant can often be kind of a you know it or you don't kind of thing. For instance, if you don't know how to do combinations, you could see a combinations question and have virtually no clue regarding how to get to the answer. An few hours later, after learning about combinations, you might be able to quickly answer the one of the hardest combinations questions around.
Verbal is different. To master verbal, you have to develop skill over time. You have to first learn and really understand the concepts, and then you have to develop skill in applying them. Driving your GMAT verbal score higher is no joke.
