When I first started studying for the GRE, I think I underestimated how much work it would take. Lots of things in school had come pretty naturally to me, but when I took my first practice test, I felt pretty embarrassed. I decided to take another one and see if my score was a fluke. Hardly a surprise, my score was just as low as the first—somewhere in the low 150s for both the Quant and Verbal sections. I bought a Kaplan book to study out of, but I felt a little lost trying to pinpoint what my weaknesses were.

My brother had studied for the GMAT about a year earlier and recommended TTP to me. I decided to take a shot on it and set up a very consistent study schedule. In addition to working and attending school for my undergraduate degree, I could do three hours per day. With that, I was able to pinpoint exactly where my weaknesses were in the TTP course. It is beautifully designed to teach you the concept clearly and concisely and then give you real practice examples.

I decided to take the GRE twice to give myself a better shot at getting a high score. The first time I took it was in October and it was clear to see that I had already improved a lot. On that one, I got a 162 Q and a 159 V. After studying hard with TTP for another month, I ended up strengthening a lot of weak topics and getting a 167 Q and 162 V. I can't speak enough to how useful TTP was. I definitely couldn't have done it without them!
