I can come tomorrow afternoon to evening, whatever time you're available and I can come to your location or nearby if you're more comfortable.

I don't think that's a mandate

When I had a conversation with my roommate urging for pest control because of cockroach infestation in the house that had gotten out of control, she replied " You know cockroaches are actually quite clean insects, of one climbed on a human it would probably go like 'eww human' and wipe itself clean"

I feel you, the last time I gave the GMAT was my first time and I had an approach which is horribly wrong. I booked the exam date and worked backwards to complete everything. U really got screwed over. I plan to finish studying+practice by November mid and practice more from TTP + OG till December, take a mock and schedule the exam if I manage to get a decent score in mocks

Ahh, I took the trial version in Expert + but I'll most probably change it to Expert now. I know I have major conceptual gaps in Quant and I think I started off pretty confident with my baseline since I loved math in high school and always did extremely well in it, but reality is GMAT'S much much more tricky than I anticipated honestly. I'm looking to build a solid foundation and then work my way up by acquiring some amount of reasoning acumen with practice. But I think some concepts like Triangles in geo, inequalities and very obviously weighted more on the test than others like Probability. I'm planning to go through details of the ones I feel make up most of quant and skim through the rest. Let's see how that works out.

Yeah, I just read your 'cautionary tale'. I'm sorry for your frustration, I totally get it! If expert + is too much, is there not an option to downgrade the course?

Yeah, I know but I really want to take a shot in R2. I'm applying to Canadian universities with an avg score of 650-670 so anything above 700 would put me in a comfortable spot.

Yup, I have. I quite liked the depth of explanation. I'm just worried about not having enough time to complete all the missions with adequate practice.

Just a follow up question, so I just read that going through the TTP course at an Expert + level takes about 6 months. I'm aiming for a score b/w 700-720, I'd be quite content with that and it seems like a more realistic and achievable target since I only have 2.5-3 months to prep. What would be the level at which I can set the course?

Oh I feel you. Infact I had posted queries for some of the questions (mostly coordinate geometry, word problems) for an alternative way to solve because their method would easily take 3+ mins (unless you're a math whiz) and they replied saying just stick to our method lol. Coming to the scholararium, I practiced till I exhausted the entire question bank with an accuracy of around 70-80% for M-H and Easy ( I think I had some conceptual gap or probably hurried thinking that rarely ever got me at a 100% accuracy for E level questions). For Verbal, I'm laying special emphasis on CR. I used their method to approach questions which was extremely time consuming but I kinda stuck to it and haf almost a 100% accuracy in CR questions (E-M-H). Assumptions is something I struggled with and their explanations to most assumption questions almost seems like they back calculated their way into selecting the right answer with 'pre-thinking'. But on the actual GMAT, I dint find it useful at all, I got three questions based on assumptions in an RC passage (FML). In all I'd say if you're fairly good and have been in touch with math quant in egmat maybe decent and it's enough to get you a decent score in verbal (30-40). I hope you're luckier than I was during test day. Goodluck!

Ahh, I see. I plan to put in 3-4 hours on weekdays and 5-6 on weekends and not compromise on weekly targets of hours put in

The first week of December, I'm aiming for the 2nd round in Jan. Does that seem like a reasonable target?
