Looking for TTP Study Plan Advice

Question

Hey everyone,

I’m currently using TTP On-Demand for my GMAT prep and wanted to get some advice on my approach.

I took an official practice test before starting and scored 515, so I know I have work to do. My goal is to reach +650 and take the exam by May. I devote 2-3 hours on weekdays and 4-6 hours on weekends, aiming to finish all foundations (course) content by April, then spend the last month doing OG and GMAT Club questions + mock tests.

Quant:

I like how TTP explains quant, and I feel like it’s helping. But the hard quizzes are brutal, and I’m scoring around 50% on them. Should I push to get above 60, or is 50% fine since they’re meant to be extra tough?

Verbal:

This is where I’m struggling. While some people say TTP Verbal is detailed, I’ve also heard (and personally feel) that it has too much content that may not be the most efficient. As a non-native speaker, would getting the fundamentals down and focusing on practice might be more effective than going through everything?

Also, I’ve heard Magoosh Verbal is solid—is it better than TTP, or are there any other good resources people have found helpful?

Data Insights (DI):

For DI, should I just follow TTP, or is there something better out there? I haven’t seen much discussion about DI strategies, so any input would be helpful.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s used TTP, Magoosh, or any other GMAT prep that worked well. Appreciate any insights—thanks!

You're on a solid track, and your study plan looks structured. Aiming for 650+ by May is totally doable with your schedule.

For **Quant**, TTP’s hard quizzes are meant to be tough, so don’t stress too much about the 50% score. What matters is **reviewing mistakes deeply** and making sure you understand the logic behind them. If you can push closer to 60%, great, but the key is learning from every mistake rather than just chasing a higher score.

For **Verbal**, I hear you—TTP Verbal is thorough, but for non-native speakers, focusing on core rules + high-quality practice might be more efficient than covering every single detail. If you’re struggling with SC and CR, OG + GMAT Club explanations can help. Magoosh Verbal is decent, but it’s generally better for fundamentals rather than high-difficulty practice. If Verbal is a real weak spot, consider using **Powerscore CR Bible for CR** and **Manhattan SC Guide for SC**—both are super effective.

For **DI**, TTP is good for building a structured approach, but since DI is still new on the GMAT, **official practice questions** are key. If you haven’t yet, check out **GMAT Club’s DI section**—some solid discussions there on how to tackle different question types.

You’ve got a solid plan—just make sure to adjust as needed based on your weak areas. Keep grinding, and you’ll get there! 🚀

You're on the right track!
I have been using TTP myself for Quant specifically and it's been amazing, I've been good at verbal and yet their tests make me think.

My advice would be to focus on TTP and practice a lot of quant, the hard question's accuracy could be bumped up imo but 50% ain't bad. 
For verbal I found many extra questions on this forum, you can search for 700-800 level verbal questions and you'll get a ton of PDFs.

I used to read a lot of Aeon essays and Smithsonian magazine which helped me build a solid comprehensive efficiency.

All the best, 650+ isn't very tough if you focus on structured approach.

Hey! I’m also using TTP, so I’m not the best person to answer, but I can relate to some of your struggles. The hard quant quizzes are tough—I’m also around 50-80% but I think that’s normal since they’re designed to be challenging. For Verbal, I’ve heard mixed reviews on TTP too, and some say focused practice (OG + GMAT Club + TTP) is better. TTP Verbal Quizzes are very challenging - esp the hard ones. Haven’t explored DI much yet but would love to hear others’ thoughts. Good luck with your prep!

As a general advice, one tip (fostered by the same TPP course) that has helped me a lot is to focus on giving the necessary thought to every problem at first, before caring too much about timing. That means reviewing every excersise of your tests to the detail, until you master each chapter completely. That means it doesn't matter so much if you take a lot of time to answer each question at first, because timing with come as you progress.

I can probably speak the most to verbal. I tried both Magoosh and TTP and found that Magoosh had a good base for skills but didn’t have anywhere near the volume of practice questions I needed. For me, the key was practicing the base skills with TTP and then applying active reading to all reading I was doing. I got a subscription to the WSJ and practiced thinking about “what is this article saying? Are there any assumptions, how could I weaken/strengthen it?” Essentially applying the same thinking as I would in the exam to general reading. On the flip side, try absorb the information in the practice questions a bit more, I found this really helped me, not just treating them as questions but actually interesting information. Good luck!

Do the following:
1. Study TTP even if it is detailed. DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS
2. TTP is useful for DI, and you can also practise some GMATCLUB questions.
3. Try to keep your accuracy on Quant Hard problems above 60–65%. If you make a mistake, go back to the topic and see exactly where you went wrong.

Hi, I am also using TTP and find the Quant section extraordinary. I am scoring above my target in easy, medium, and hard chapter tests. I have had a similar experience with Verbal, and focused, slow reading has been helping me. I took the free demo of the on-demand course, and it is pretty good and detailed, but unable to afford it. I have solved DI problems in Quant but haven't specifically touched the DI chapters yet. This has been my experience with TTP so far. I would suggest sticking with it, even for Verbal.

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

I'm thrilled to hear that you're using TTP! The great news is that you're doing exactly what we recommend—following the study plan and completing all the necessary tasks to progress effectively.

As for the hard quant questions, a 50% accuracy rate is solid, so if that's where you're landing on those quizzes, you're in a good spot.

Regarding TTP Verbal, you're right—it’s quite detailed. If you already have a strong verbal foundation, I recommend skimming through familiar areas and diving deeper into the sections where you need more reinforcement. And of course, don't skip any practice questions.

Feel free to keep us updated and reach out with any questions.

TTP is a fantastic resource if you’re serious about boosting your GMAT score. Its structured, step-by-step approach makes even the toughest concepts easy to grasp, and it’s designed to build a strong foundation from the ground up. The clear explanations and targeted practice questions help reinforce learning and ensure you truly understand the material—not just memorize it.

One of the biggest strengths of TTP is how it encourages consistency and discipline, which are key for real progress. Stick with it, trust the process, and don’t be afraid to take your time mastering each concept—you’ll be amazed at how much you can improve!

I have had experiences with MGMAT and Magoosh. However, I can speak on TTP more as I have given more time to their platform in the past 6 months vs the other platforms. In regards to your questions, here is my 2-cents on the matter:

Quant: 
The Hard Chapter tests are no joke and they do reinforce Easy + Medium concepts with twist. If you can get 50% or greater on these, cool. Just refine your approach when doing OG problems and you'll be straight.

Verbal:
I like TTP's Verbal for the logic reasoning process it teaches vs just taking you through cookie-cutter concepts/tactics that aint working in today's GMAT. Don't take my word for it...just look at other debriefs from the "Share Your GMAT Experience" section.

DI: 
I am about to start DI really soon on TTP, but it looks very promising
