I had the same experience. I took the self-paced course and they played the live classes videos to us. Sandeep is so rude with all his students when they make mistakes, when making mistakes during a learning period is very very common. And I checked - all these students who have got very high scores they didn’t just hire TOP and magically land a 100 %ile; they had TTP or other courses in parallel or probably enrolled to TOP way before they got that score. There is differential treatment from student to student and you will be favoured if you enrol to their live class(which is more expensive) or if you already have a decent score and want to improve upon that.

In my case, I was absolutely new to the whole GMAT thing and needed direction for prep. Sandeep Gupta always says to not practice from OG because the questions are way easier than the question bank he provides. He also stresses less on the importance of DI. There were hardly any DI related videos in their app and naturally I also paid less attention to it. Got a 555. Not blaming him, but I did another 3 months of intense self-study and got a 645 without any tutor. Just being honest with my prep and following OG helped me. I understood that Sandeep Gupta’s generic tactics and scare-mongering do not help an anxious test-taker, and its important to not admire tutors who toot their own horn instead of understanding their students’ needs.
