TTP: All chapters before most tests?

General Question :snoo_thoughtful:

Hi everyone,

I've been using TTP since the past month or so. Wanted to know if doing all the chapters first and then the tests is something that is recommended or not.

I've finished the Chapter-Tests-Chapter-Tests process up to Number Properties. But was curious as to how finishing all the chapters first and then doing all the tests will pan out. Will it take lesser time than the former?

I have around one month to finish TTP according to my current GMAT schedule. Any tips to do so in a fast yet efficient manner? Would really appreciate it.

I wouldn't recommend just doing the chapters without applying the knowledge you're learning with the tests. That said, the tests are certainly quite arduous and take a lot of time. I would usually do 2-3 from each level of difficulty for each chapter (more if I wasn't performing well), and would save a few for later to attempt while I was reviewing material. It allowed me to move a little faster through the content, but still make sure I was actually learning what I was reading.

You mean the tests which follow each chapter right? There are not much of them, usually easy, medium and hard level ones, which ones do you leave for later revision?!

I mean, most quant chapters have somewhere between 3 - 10 chapter tests for each level. I'd just do a few of them and save a few for later to try out during my review of materials.

Great advice, thank you! I also have less than a month and am also now thinking to do more questions for weaker areas and leave some of the tests in the more solid areas as I aim to do the OG questions as well.

You have questions throughout the entire chapter - that's good application. Do the chapter first. Learn it. Review then do chapter tests. Then review. Then move on. Then come back to it again.

For sure, do not save the chapter tests. In other words, after you complete a particular chapter, do the chapter tests right away. The purpose of those tests is to ensure that you have grasped the material you just learned. Without that data, you'll be flying blind through TTP. If you need any additional advice, feel free to reach out to me directly. I've got your back, my friend.

What’s the desired accuracy in the three sections? Also, what about timing? I imagine easy ones shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes. If so, then what about timings for medium and hard ones?
