A little background about myself. I graduated in 2019 with a BA in History, but I had math till 12th grade. I am not scared of math but I am not a whiz. I would say my verbal is relatively strong. i scored a 690 in my first attempt and a 740 in my second attempt at the Gmat almost 1.5 months later.
I highly recommend TTP to prepare for the GMAT. It may take some time to complete everything but it's worth spending the effort to do all the missions including all the practice tests. Also, it's necessary to build strong foundations for quant to achieve a high score and be self reliant so that you don’t depend on explanations for tough questions for example - a speed time distance or compound interest question could be solved in multiple ways. By having a strong quant foundation you can try doing the question in different ways and figure out the way that works best for you, instead of just relying on one explanation and trying to apply only that method during the exam, as stress or a different style of question could make you get stuck but if you have strong foundations you’ll be able to think on your feet under pressure and workout another method to solve it and i do credit TTP for creating that base for me.
Also, do make use of their articles. Some of their tips regarding how to manage time, the streaks method and tips for verbal in their articles really helped me.
Highlights: 1) Clear explanations of concepts in both quantitative and verbal reasoning, along with video guides on approaching questions
2) Custom and diagnostic tests to help you attack weaker areas of your preparation and dial in your score.
The one consideration I would make is that, along with TTP, I did solve a lot of questions from GMAT club that were 700+ level (only for quant), official guide questions and historical GMAT advanced guide questions for more practice. However I did these questions untimed and my time management was developed via TTP tests and official mocks. Whether or not this is necessary comes down to your personal preparation and ability to afford additional material and time.
