Strengths:
TTP's strengths are the customizable structure and reasonable pace. The most valuable part of learning in my opinion is the question answer review videos and text explanations. Sometimes you even get shown two ways of solving and it's so helpful to have that right there for review.
Would make the product better:
More customizable parts - like if I want to skip a section, I never figured out how to do that but mark it as "complete" so it doesn't show up on the calendar. Maybe there is a way but I could not find it. Also, the "progress" % would glitch and erase some of my progress on some random sections if I were to update the schedule. Fix glitches when updating calendar / hours.
TTP Dedicated Study helped me improve my initial practice test scores from mid-500s to an official 655 (V86, Q82, DI80) After struggling to study on my own (Youtube channels and other pathways), I decided I needed more structure to my study plan.
TTP keeps you on track, honest, and shows your progress. You don't have to decide what you're studying that day - it does that for you - so you spend no energy on gathering materials or planning. You can always look at the calendar to see what's upcoming, and if you want to study ahead or get behind, it automatically adjusts. The calendar and plan (hours per day, days avail to study) is customizable as well! (If you only want to study on the weekend, you can customize it like that). For anyone who does better with structure, TTP is worth it.
Four months was plenty of time to get through the material (spending 10-15 hrs per week) and all sections were helpful. Don't forget to book your exam in accordance with the end of your study plan.
I found the most value in two areas. First, the answer explanation videos and text after each question. It was like having your own personal tutor at your finger tips on every question. TTP put a lot of work into diversifying the material and questions to be as foundational as possible.
Second, the Theory section gave therapy-like insights on how to handle the pressure, time, stress, etc that comes along with this process. It wasn't just strong material for the exam - it was teaching you a mindful approach and how to best prepare for day-of. Again, like having your own personal GMAT coach. I found that made TTP stand out above other offerings.
