I took my exam today after close to a year of prep (9 months of actual serious prep). From a 425 on my cold mock earlier this year to a 645 on my actual exam today, it's been a rollercoaster ride (quite literally but that's a story for another day). GMAT Ninja's videos have been a lifesaver in my GMAT prep. Although my score is a tad bit far from my target score, I am extremely grateful for these resources. THANK YOU!!

[aishwaryapophali]

never in my life i have liked math, you made me realise i just needed to change my approach, fabulous work creating these videos!!

[bhavanadandu]

Binge watched Charle’s videos to the extent that I instantly remembered his crystal clear explanation to the 3rd question in his previous videos from months ago!
-officially a Charles fan, thanks for all the work!

[amshuhasm]

Thanks a ton Charles! This and every other video from GMAT Ninja out there is absolute gold. You guys really get to the heart of what GMAT is all about.
I'm always recommending GMAT Ninja content to literally every Gmat aspirant I meet. Love the way you guys teach. True legends.

Finished my exam a few days back, scored a 705. Couldn't have done it without you guys❤️

[VidurSeth-bo]

Thank you for these, you're a life saver. Best content out there to whoever is trying to study for GMAT themselves. Very practical, very intuitive and perhaps the best teaching style I've come across. Thank you so much!

[ManenChowdhry]

I just can't thank you guys (especially Charles) enough. You are so thorough in your teaching and it has been very much helpful. I felt kind of lost, on where and how to start and continue, before watching your videos. Now, I am getting to know how to approach each and every aspect of GMAT prep.

[noahmiller]

Your channel is unbelievably good! I'm having fun learning. Thank you so much. Will report back with my score if/when I take the GMAT!

[vijaysacademy]

Last question explanation was brilliant. Instead of doing lot of math we can answer it easily with some logical thinking

[MauricioAcuñaCaro]

Here after taking the gmat and having achieved my desired score mostly thanks to your very comprehensive series.

Thank you Charles!

for the problem at 22:13, why can you not use b =3/5(c+d) to solve for b, then plug this value into the original equations to solve for c?

[amanuttam]

Hey Charles! Thank you for all the content you and the rest of the kind folks at GMAT Ninja put out there for us! It is really appreciated :) Just wanted to know- that once we are through with these videos- im always left wondering on what i need to do to really 'cement' the topics covered in a video. For example If im done watching arithmetic, and i pick up a lot of practice questions from GMAT club- how do i know when I'm done with that topic. The number of practice questions are endless- would you recommend just going through the OG alongside these videos as well and then diving into mocks? Would love to know your insights on the resources. Thanks again!

[gowriuh]

Thank you so much for all your classes I'm thinking of taking the GMAT for second time. So please help.

Charles is the best. Really excited for these new vids on quant topics. Especially the teaching style of charles is so amazing that i might not get everything at once, but sure as hell always gets be excited to study it. I just have one question, im 20 just graduated from liberal arts background, for me verbal isn't a burden, for me its quant and DI, although im always genuinly excited to learn the topics from root level, i sometimes dont understand the question and fail to frame the question so i can get everything straight? What do i do?

[GourabNath]

great explanation sir. very very thank u for this classes. the playlist is very helpful for me.

[sindisosikosana]

Hi Charles, how did you pre-solve the percentile injuncture considering the values do not resemble interchangeable values nor integers.

[OpenCSE]

Will the whole Quant playlist be updated with new videos?

[emilygoggin]

Thank you soooo much, this was super helpful

[JohnWick-no]

when will the full update of quant playlist be finished?

[victoriacavalieri]

Hi Charles! What would you recommend for someone that got an 645 and wants to get to 675 in about 3 weeks? I only got 3 questions wrong in quant but but score was in the mid 70th percentile due to careless errors I think :/

[harispolydorou]

but the questions are gonna be on the computer screen, how will i be able to for example do some "calculations" on the answers like you did in the final question of the video. Surely it wont be worth the time writing down the questions
