If the stores that were driven out by Colson's were replaced mostly by discount stores, that suggests that the stores were replaced because of a need that no longer exists after the opening of SpendLess.

If xxxx, that suggests that yyyyy. ---- Is this construction ok ? shouldn't we use 'then' with 'if' ?

Right. Since the second half of the sentence is a consequence that follows from the "if" clause, it should start with "then." It should also have a conditional verb (i.e. "would suggest")

I also think using "that" twice in the space of three words is awkward.

@Bill, could you please right the correct sentence.

Also as far i know, the "then" in if part is not mandatory. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Possible constructions could be

1. If x, then y. If he prepares well, then he will ace the test.
2. y, if x. He will ace the test, if he prepares well.
3. If x, y If he prepares well, he will ace the test

The "then" can be implied, but you still need a conditional/future verb in the "then" clause. Your examples all have "will," so they work.

5 Star (563 Reviews)

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
