Thanks for sharing. What are you planning to use for DI?
deepshah07
Background: I’m a working professional who chose to skip coaching classes and go all-in on self-prep. After researching resources, I decided to make Target Test Prep (TTP) my main Quant resource because I wanted a structured plan with flexibility.
[hr]
Why I Chose TTP for Quant
  • Clear Roadmap: TTP’s day-by-day plan makes self-prep less overwhelming.
  • Concept-first Approach: It doesn’t just throw questions at you; it builds fundamentals.
  • Practice Depth: Hundreds of chapter tests with analytics to track weaknesses.
For someone like me, who needs flexibility but also structure, TTP was the obvious choice.
[hr]
My Current Plan:
  • Quant: Following the TTP roadmap, currently 70% complete. After each chapter:
    • Read lessons carefully
    • Do all practice sets (easy → medium → hard)
    • Maintain an error log for every mistake
  • Verbal: Using OG, GMAT Club resources, and will add Manhattan SC + Powerscore CR Bible later.
  • Mocks: Haven’t started yet—planning to take the first official mock after ~80% of TTP completion.
[hr]
Daily Routine:
  • 1.5–2 hours on weekdays (mostly Quant for now)
  • Weekends = catch-up + extra Verbal practice
  • Strict rule: Quality > Quantity (review every wrong answer)
[hr]
Challenges:
  • Balancing work and study consistently
  • Fighting the temptation to rush to mocks early
  • Staying patient with foundational topics before moving to advanced problems
[hr]
Next Steps:
✅ Finish TTP course (Quant) completely
✅ Begin timed Verbal practice from OG
✅ Start official mocks and analyze deeply
[hr]
Why I’m Sharing This Now:
Most people post after they’ve aced the GMAT, but I wanted to share this in real-time to help others in the same boat. If you’re wondering whether self-prep is possible—YES, it is, if you’re disciplined. TTP makes Quant preparation structured, but it’s up to you to stick to the plan.
Will update this post after my first mock and, of course, after test day! Happy to answer any questions on TTP or self-prep strategy.
