Strengths:
flexible
Would make the product better:
Communication
It's outrageous that got told off several times (by both ph and chat) for asking too many questions. Isn't this what we students are paying for to learn and to improve but nope as a course provider they don't want to hear from you nor they want to improve their course materials so students can understand easily.
When you post in forum that your gmat not improved but the score dropped, they will pretend trying to help but then no reply when contacted them. Stay away if you are a students who like to ask questions to understand concepts properly. My score dropped terribly after study with them.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
Strengths:
Generally, the couse was really well stuructured, they give you tons of questions to practice on quant, although untill the time you begin to reach the end of the course you begin to forget the things you have taught for, and that`s because of the massivness of the course probably i guess.
Would make the product better:
Client orientation and more verbal tests, they lack so much on verbal. You cover one topic on quant, course gives you 300 questions to solve, you cover one topic in verbal, they give you 20 question to practice on.
So guys, all in all, i must say first time i did Gmat i only got 540, but after the course managed to get 620! But the thing is that before you purchase the course they promise you to return your money if you don`t get at least 110 point increase , which i clearly didn`t manage to do, but anyway got no return. Must say the cash return guarantee works only if you finish 100% of the course, and i finished 90% only as they say, but the 10% was just recommendations and Ir and AWa parts, which couldn`t just impact my score, which means i have finished their course,but anyway that was their reason(
The most horrible thing about the course is that they have 0 client orientation. I said them i don`t pretned for the return , though i practically finished 100% of the course , its so called learning phase with all the tests on Verbal and Quant. All i wanted from them was that they would give me some sort of discount, cause i hoped they would support their students, who spent 600$ on the course, for which i got rejection. I know that eGmat for example just gives their course for several months for free for students who trusted them and still couldn`t get promised by them score, however the same policy doesnt work at TTP, they give no interest on the people who trusted them and its sad.
So, my recommendation guys, if you are stuck between eGmat and TTP, don`t you even think twice, eGmat will support you as opposed to TTP, which doesnt even keep its promise(score guarantee)
So guys, i realize that my claims about TTP nit giving me discount may sound for some of you brazenly, cause technically they are right and i am just crying, and so it be, but the undisputable fact is that, if you hope to get 110 point increase by finishing TTP, that`t not guaranteed as well as their money return promises.
Strengths:
Quant sectionexplanations are great
Chat allows you to ask questions to tutors
The software is easy to use
Would make the product better:
Verbal section is lacking, the theory is super repetitive and not particularly useful, one is much better off watching gmat ninja videos. Overall I would say the verbal section is overloaded with useless theory. In addition, the list of available exercises is very limited, I encountered repeat questions.
Quant section is too detailed for my taste, after doing the same exercise 10x i don't see the value in doing it 10x more, the number of practicing questions testing the same concepts during the course are IMO too many,
Wrong information was reported during the course, the course mentioned it was possible to take the gmat at a test center and immediately afterwards (no cool down period) take the gmat online. This is what I tried to do right before a holiday, I planned the test center option early in the week before holidays (knowing this would be a good practice run) to then take the "real" one in the more favourable online gmat environment. Imagine my frustration when I spoke to people at gmac who informed me a 14 day cool down period applied even after switching from test center to online... This completely messed up my schedule, here I am months later still practicing after taking off 1 month due to holiday (during which I obviously didn't plan to study) Overall really let down the course displayed the wrong information

Overall disappointing, I expected more from the highest rated course.
