Strengths:
The best thing about the course is how thoroughly they break every section down for you. Be it the quant or the verbal, everything is covered with such depth that you know for sure that you will cover all of the material on the test as long as you are diligent and thorough with working your way through the lessons. The way the lessons are broken down into smaller sections is also helpful, as it's a good way to feel like you're making progress as you work your way through the vast amount of material
Would make the product better:
Only 2 improvements I'd like to see. The first is breaking down some of the earlier, longer sections into smaller pieces, as they can be a somewhat daunting way to start due to length alone even if the material is not among the most challenging in the course. The second is that TTP needs to highlight the tools available in the course more at the start, things like the analytics and the error tracker need a greater emphasis beyond just the course material
TTP was invaluable to my GMAT prep. All of the material that is on the test is covered with considerable depth, with a seemingly unending number of practice problems to go through and tons of lessons that will break down everything that you need to know. Even as a former English teacher, I found the way they approach the verbal section to be very helpful, as while I would disagree with some of the answers initially, the breakdown and explanation of why a specific answer was correct did a great job of demonstrating what the GMAT considers to be correct, not just what is the cleanest English. The same goes for all of the quant lessons, as the step by step solutions and videos were immensely helpful in understanding how to approach problems and in fully grasping the material
TTP is a great resource for your GMAT preparation, especially when you are just starting out. Their interactive interface keeps you engaged and going when you may not have 100% clarity on the curriculum and attention areas for yourself. The math concepts are clear and comprehensive. Highly recommend!

Strengths:
Basics are completely covered. One can cover the course starting from scratch and end up easily with a 720+ score. Both Quant and Verbal were covered in detail with chapter wise segregation along with examples and sectional tests. All one needs to do is follow the course instructions and be assured.
Would make the product better:
There is almost everything covered in the course. I would recommend to increase the example and test problems in RC section.
I was scoring around 630 on the GMAT Mocks and was clueless about how to handle the Verbal section especially. I was scoring around 28 to 30 on the GMAT Verbal. RC and SC were main concerns for me as I did not have an approach to go with. I realized that I needed to start with basics of SC and RC. I enrolled for the TTP Dedicated Study plan and started focusing on individual areas of each section. I improved heavily on SC and RC scoring around 85% on the Example and Sectional Test questions. Once I attempted official mocks after completing the TTP course, I was scoring around 740. On the test day, I was confident of a 730+ score. I scored 760.
Strengths:
The Quantitative section in TTP boasts high-quality questions that surpass even the Official Guide in terms of framing and clarity.
Would make the product better:
A more streamlined and video-based course for the verbal section could offer an improvement over the current extensive courses. Models like the GMAT Ninja course or Ron Purewal's videos provide a more concise and focused approach to verbal preparation, which may be preferable for learners seeking a more compact and targeted learning experience.
Exclusively relying on TTP for GMAT Quant is a dependable strategy. TTP liberates you from the headaches of Quant preparation. by completing its chapters, you can confidently move forward without the need for additional resources, streamlining your study process and allowing for a more focused and efficient learning experience. TTP's Quants approach involves tackling each concept from various perspectives, effectively enhancing understanding and confidence in the subject matter. TTP stands out with its extensive question bank, offering twice the volume of questions compared to its competitors.
While I haven't personally explored the Critical Reasoning portion, I've heard commendable feedback about its effectiveness.
Strengths:
Best material for quant. Prior to signing up for TTP, I hadn't done long division by hand in well over a decade and I was always weak in subjects like probability and combinations. But moreso than that, the GMAT exam is a logic test rather than an aptitude test. This means that in order to succeed, you need to know how to solve problems efficiently in addition to correctly. TTP was great for that and helped me in an area that I needed to be a lot better at - time management.
Would make the product better:
TTP Verbal is a bit lengthy. Although being comprehensive certainly isn't a bad thing, the level of detail that TTP provided was probably more than necessary for a solid Verbal score. I ended up complementing my studies with free resources like GMATNinja Youtube because I was having trouble retaining the level of detail TTP provided. Still - it was an amazing resource and very appropriate for those looking to score in the 90th + percentile.
Overall an amazing product with incredible support and well-suited for those who are self studiers rather than classroom learners. The product exceeded my expectations and would definitely re-enroll if I had to go back and do it all over again. The instructors are all very responsive in the case that you have questions or comments. The flexible payment plan made it so that I was able to pay for exactly how much I used their service. For those that prefer structure, they had study plans and progress bars that made your hard work readily viewable and you could accurately plan each part of your GMAT journey (from learning the lectures, practice mocks, test day).
Strengths:
Comprehensive Quant course and Great analytics
Would make the product better:
Reading through verbal notes just didn't click with me, so a lot more of an integrated video based learning approach might be better.
TTP quant is probably the most comprehensive material you could get for the GMAT. It is exhaustive and delivers on every count. I focused primarily on the medium and hard questions while going through each and every chapter that TTP has to offer, and they built a solid base for what I was to encounter on the GMAT. I never felt under-prepared after going through TTP end to end and though very long, I enjoyed the way the quant content was presented. One piece of advice to anyone going through TTP is to make good use of their bookmark feature and the Must know tabs while making your own notes simultaneously. The custom test feature is great for revision too, and the questions are very GMAT-like so kudos to the team!
Strengths:
- Very high quality content
- Great UX/UI
- Supportive team
Would make the product better:
I dont really like TTP’s error log, it is not as easy to review question as the one I attach below
- I studied in 3 months using Manhattan and saw no improvement. I used TTP in 4 month and improved my score week over week from 600 to 740
- Started with fear for Verbal section, I became much more confident after completing TTP Verbal course. My CR and SC rate is always around 80-90% after using TTP. I heard TTP is also very good at Quant course
- Very detailed guidelines with tons of high-quality questions and explanations.
--- Very clear study roadmap, which shows you what you need to study, to review, to reflect before the test
---Very supportive team, Marty answered every one of my questions in half a day.
Strengths:
-Comprehensive Quant and Verbal material
-Flexible Self-Study course - perfect for busy schedule
-Great customer support
-Guidance on best practices to prepare for test
Would make the product better:
Sentence correction got into details not often tested. Would have appreciated a warning that it's fine not to get 100% of the Hard questions
Fantastic course for self-study. I used to improve my score from a 590 to 740 in 4 months time. It took me about 3 months to get through all the fundamental material and from there I started using a combination of TTP questions and official GMAT practice tests to get ready for the actual exam.
Their flexible program was great for someone who works in consulting and can have a varying schedule. They also have a calendar that helps you pace yourself (although I found that for me, alternating between verbal and quant throughout my study process allowed me to feel motivated and not get too overloaded with one topic). Also, they have great guidance on the best ways to study, such as not feeling the need to use the dry erase board right away until a month before taking the test.
I recommend it to all my friends starting the GMAT study process or ones that need to strengthen up in certain areas (especially in quant). Some other things to note are that the customer service is fantastic and they'll get back to you very quickly about any questions you may have.

Verified GMAT Classic score:
730 Q50 V39 (Online)
Strengths:
For sure the structure of the program. Being able to just log on and follow the course is significantly easier than trying to self-study and make sure that you cover all of the topics especially of you are juggling other major commitments (e.g., school, work). It is also extremely helpful for making sure that you have mastered the concepts that you needed to by giving you a, sometimes, overwhelming number of tests. This is particularly useful for Quant, however, as it allows you to drill in all of these topics.
Would make the product better:
The verbal section was honestly not the easiest to understand for me as a native English speaker. More specifically the sentence correction was difficult for me to understand.
Definitely one of the best ways to do exceedingly well on the Quant. The structure of the program and amount of resources given make preparing for the test rather easy. That is not to say that the test or prep is easy, but it makes life much easier when you only have to do the material in the course to know that you're learning as opposed to self-studiying and not being sure. As most people say, TTP is a god-send for Quant. Went from Q35 on a free mba.com practice test to Q50 on the real test. I only had to take the GMAT ONCE!
Strengths:
The course content is thorough, well explained, and comprehensive. The interface is really easy and pleasing to use--completing lessons and practice problems gives you a little dopamine rush. The practice and review tests are great, and the ability to create custom practice tests is invaluable.
Would make the product better:
Firstly, it's a colossal amount of content. I realize this is a feature, but it's hard for me to comprehend how someone could get through the course in four months. I did the six month course while not working full time and I still didn't finish it in the allotted time. Secondly, I wish the IR section had more questions or even practice tests. Despite having a good grasp of quant, I was frequently stymied by IR questions and didn't know how to practice and improve. Finally, there are some sections with attempts at humor that didn't click with me.
If you want a great score on the GMAT, TTP is a clear path to get there. I started studying with a solid grasp on verbal but really shaky quant skills. TTP's thorough, methodical process got me to a point where I felt really confident answering quant questions, and ultimately I scored higher on quant than verbal. For both quant and verbal, TTP does a great job of teaching you not just the topic, but also how to approach questions and eliminate wrong answers. By the time I was taking my practice tests, I was scoring highly and feeling confident in my knowledge. On test day I got surprisingly psyched out by the experience, but even while feeling really nervous and like I was doing poorly, I was still able to keep my eyes on the prize, keep moving, and secure a 760.
Even if you're already using some other prep materials, I'd highly recommend the $1 trial so you can experience the custom practice tests with clear, detailed explanations. I found myself really missing these explanations when taking the official practice tests or using questions from other sources.
