I LOVE TTP!

Ok guys honestly though, TTP made acing this beach of an exam possible, especially when you are neurodivergent. Personally, I lose interest very quickly when studying from books (cueing Princeton Reviews or the OG). The TTP platform is so interactive, with all different kinds of cool gadgets like quizlet-style flashcards, knowledge road maps, and chapter end small quizzes.

Personally, I averaged 3-5 hours of intense studying everyday during 6/1-9/1. Almost 3 years out of school now with a busy full-time job, I'm rusty (at best) on many Quant key concepts. Verbal is my weakest part at the same time. So I purchased TTP's course, went through every chapter diligently, did most Quant and all Verbal OG question questions. What's interesting here is that despite only half way done with my Data Insights TTP course, I sat the exam (which is not recommended). Don't do this if you have plenty of time. I was short on time so had to sit the exam before application deadlines. Practicing questions again and again was key because when exam day came, I was genuinely having fun at the questions and wasn't as fatigued as I would've thought, probably because TTP's question bank acclimated me to full exam mode so I'm now super used to handling 10-20 questions on a daily basis.

The team at TTP, even with the completely self-paced flexible preparation module, set me up for success. I probably used the chat box function to reach out to the TTP team too many times haha. Shout out to Julia on the verbal team. Like honestly she's one of the best teachers I've encountered from prepping numerous standardized exams because her answer is succinct while acknowledging where I came from with my interpretation. I have no doubt that if I were to finish the entire Data Insights section, I'd reach a higher bar.

All in all, TTP was instrumental in my efficient and fruitful GMAT preparation.

Full disclaimer - I'm not being incentivized in anyway for this review, besides paying it forward and hoping my review could help guide others in choosing the best admissions consulting team. I have interviews a slew of advisers, some are companies and some are individuals, and here's my takeaway.

I've talked to companies such as mbaMission to pretty negative experiences (Katharine Lewis), who wouldn't start working with me until 2025 October and said I might be able to only get into Anderson/Marshall type of programs (this could not be further from the truth). Comparatively, I got into every single school I applied to (including M7 with $100k scholarship) except 2 and SOP started working with me in June 2025 and we crafted out the best application roughly by end of October. I also chatted with multiple individuals from Leland - they were all pretty young and predominantly a 1-man/woman gig. I would NOT place my future in 1 sub-35 year old's hand, especially given the fact that I had multiple viable career pathways but not sure which one to pick for my application. Kathryn and Lara truly guided me through what could've been doomsday chaos, I'm not kidding.

Lastly, I care about the values of the people I choose to work with, and every single day I can tell without doubt that these are honest, supportive people. This made working with my team such a positive reinforcement that I'm almost always excited to click onto the SOP email for feedback and/or suggestions.
