I took the GMAT in 2022 with very little study beyond cranking out practice problems from the OG, and not surprisingly I did not perform very well (somewhere near 49%ile, I cancelled the score immediately and was embarrassed to tell people my results).
A few years went by and I decided to take test prep seriously this time around, but I was already behind the curve on time.
In March, '25 I signed up for TTP + Online Live Classes 2x per week (with Ceilidh Erickson as my instructor), alongside these classes I probably put in 3+ hours of self-study with the TTP platform 3-4x per week (work has been slow). By the end of June I was ready for a live test and scored a 655 (91%ile). Since I was applying to EMBA programs, I decided to be one and done on testing! I had an interview with CBS last week and am speaking with Wharton in early December.
TTP Platform
The TTP platform has great UI/UX! It is incredibly easy to use and navigate, which makes studying specific information that much quicker/easier.
I found the breadth and depth of each topic to be beyond adequate. There were many cases where TTP does a deep dive on question variants that you are unlikely to see... but having seen the toughest questions at least once reduces anxiety on test day.
Additionally, I found there was ample question fodder between the TTP platform and all the OG resources. I ended up buying all six OG tests, but only went through 3 or 4 of them.
While I chose TTP for the Quant segment and this is where I needed the most help, I found V & DI to also be incredibly comprehensive.
Live Classes
The Live Classes are something I cannot recommend enough for the following reasons: 1) keeping you on a schedule, 2) third party accountability, 3) camaraderie. I am generally a pretty gregarious person, so it is probably no surprise that I made a couple friends throughout the class. It's not like I am expecting wedding invitations, but being able to text people on weekends and have people rooting for you to do well makes the grind a lot easier.
Ceilidh provided many tips and tricks and distilled a lot of the online platform information down into easy to remember processes that I was able to take into test day... again this reduced test day anxiety and prevented me from missing easy questions.
My improvements on V & DI were much more modest than my Q improvement, and V/DI improvement largely stemmed from work done in the Live Classes as I was mostly grinding on Q concepts on my own.
Bottom Line
Set your mind to testing well, put in consistent work, sign up for a platform (like TTP!) and live classes. You can improve your GMAT score dramatically by being smart about your test prep and then WORKING REALLY HARD.
