Since I was naturally good at DI, I spent minimal effort there
the two sources I feel which are helpful are OG, and then TTP
(but tbf, those were the only two I leveraged)

Congrats on getting to 715 in such a short time! Between 685 and 715 attempts, how did you spend your time? How many practice tests did you take, at what cadence, and how many questions did you solve per day?

Thanks a lot for your wishes! I’d say around 20 days, unfortunately I was sick during my 685 attempt - so towards the end of my second section i.e Verbal, I got the last 5 out of 6 wrong. That kinda biased my score- so I knew another attempt wouldn't be so bad.

With that context, I spent some time doing relentless untimed RC passages (because that was a noticeable weakness across both my attempts). As for quant, went to GMATCLUB and just did remainder questions, tricky algebraic ones.
With respect to mocks, gave a couple of them scored a 745 and 755, caveat there is that was largely on account of questions repeating.

Net net: I spent at max 3-4 hours a day, because I was pretty burnt out towards the end of my journey. Hope this helps, feel free to reach out for specifics!

Hi everyone,
Its been a long journey, started out in December of last year and has finally culminated! (albeit successfully this time)
For context, I have given the GMAT 3 times in the last 1.5 months (675- Online, 685- Test Centre, 715- Test Centre)
Started off with a target of 695, so absolutely delighted with the final score!
Materials used: GMAT OG > TTP > GMAT NINJA (verbal) > GMATCLUB > (this forum <3)
The unofficial percentile score split which I could see was: Q-94, V- 99, DI- 90
Bit funny because I have never gotten below 96 percentile on DI😂; but alas I have never gotten 99 on verbal either; so my sense is the questions were adaptively more difficult towards the end
Also, while my section order was similar across all my attempts (Q, V, DI)- i took a break after Q rather than V this time around.
With respect to my prep, responding to a FAQ around TTP- I took the 6 months course- I am sort of a promoter - “sort of” because it was slightly too detailed for my existing skill- I spent a better part of 4 months going through every chapter, problem, etc. across the 3 portions. I’d highly recommend it to someone who has a lot of time on their hands, have minimum conceptual knowledge for quant. DI for TTP was pretty decent! Verbal is again a good introduction point, but not the real deal imo. The structure and planning of the course, however is pretty good!
Lastly, sorry for the super detailed debrief- AMA - more than happy to give back to the community!!
Cheers,
