Thanks Brian for all the effort, keep up the great work! Studying for the GMAT is a lonely and disheartening quest, it's good to get some professional motivation like yours.
Wow. I have been studying for a few months for the GMAT and even scheduled overpriced tutors. None helped as much as this video. This is amazing how much we have for free online. Thanks guys!
Brian you do a great job explaining not only the strategies but also the way how to go through that unconventionel questions. You offer an awesome way of preperation !
The information on the slide for the question about the perimeter of the Isosceles triangle changes between slides. On the first slide (37:20) the info options are (1) Side LM =4. (2)Side LN=4√2. In the second slide info options change to (1) Side LM has a length of 4. (2) Side MN has a length of 4√2. The sides have changed, changing the answer from the first slide, which is why the answer is no longer E

this might sound crazy.. but I keep thinking of dora the explorer explaining something and then waiting for an answer. I've had to babysit my cousin a lot and I think Dora's haunting my mind. But great video! I'm thinking of starting my GMAT prep and this is a really good initiation class!!
@@carolechanda8519 I really took it for fun as I don't need it at the moment. (I have engineering background) so the math/quantitative part was a breeze. The verbal had a lot of reading, I didn't enjoy it. It's a little tricky, so with a month or two of dedicated preparation, one should be fine. I did slightly above average, which isn't bad for 2 days of studying.
Regarding the data sufficiency problem with four workers....was wondering why the word 'yesterday' was emphasized in all the statements except statement 2. Statement 2 does not specify WHEN the tshirts were sold whereas the problem statement as well as statement 1 do. So isn't the data in statement 2 insufficient ?
For data sufficiency 1.00.00 i think the answer is III cos B alone gives u infinite information as u not limited to any total number of shirts. It can be that, total number of shirts is 100 or 200 or 20 which allows many answers for solving it. In solving the question the tutor limited himself to 8 total shirts (A), hence answering B alone with A makes the answer (iii) all 2 together is true.
Hi just sharing my story around. I recently went from a 430 to 710 And I made a video outlining how you can do something similar. Thanks for your questions throughout, Veritas!
Day 1 of the free online #GMAT session centers on the high level overview of the GMAT. The lesson covers ‘higher-order thinking’, the GMAT’s own description of its aims as an assessment, and how this is tested via each of the exam’s question types. The Day 1 session includes supplementary videos and articles. Below you can watch the recorded live session video of Day 1 with Brian Galvin: #MBA #Masters #highereducation #exam #bSchool
with regards to the data sufficiency prob about the perimeter of an isosceles ∆ , how is x:x:xroot2 equal to 4:4root2:4root2, we know that if we combine the answers we x =4 so it has to be 4:4:4root2, we know that the centre ratio has to be x and not xroot2
For data sufficiency with four workers, if we eliminate second statement we might also assume that some of the workers might have sold same number .. so isn't that option also needs to be concerned?
Priyanka Joshi you are not reading the question properly.The second part of the question says did anyone of the workers sell at least three shirts ..we can't be sure about that just by the first option
Because "dense and convoluted enough as they pose" has a different meaning - it implies that whatever they pose is the reason for them being dense and convoluted. However, the idea is that they are so dense and convoluted that they pose something (what they pose is the effect, the consequence, and NOT the reason, the cause). For E) to be correct, it should have been written like "dense and convoluted enough to pose".
I am reading persuasion by Cialdini..... definitely a no go when it comes to applying logical and critical thinking to these questions since a lot of reference points are based on persuasion and the most logical answers seem them most tricky ones, resulting in a wrong answer. haha
I think the most accurate critic of this video is from someone who has taken the official GMAT. One question I have thought of was: How close and consistant are the study materials and video lectures are to the questions on the test? This guy seems to be a great instructor based on what I saw but until I take the official test I will not be able to generate an accurate assesment.
Nina Moreno I've taken the PCAT. Most placement test are based on your knowledge of the material and not the format of the practice questions. You can have the same question on the practice test as the official but there are key words that can drastically throw you off if you not paying attention. I've taken practice GMAT 3 times without taking the official.
I don’t like the shirt question because it assumes that a single shirt was even sold.. just because they are there selling shirts, it doesn’t mean they they were successful at selling a single shirt
Thanks so much for the explanation and the clarification, but I have one concern about the "thrift shop" question. The question asks if ONE of the workers sold AT LEAST three shirts. I still believe that the correct answer is E. My concern is that the question is asking if ONE (and only ONE) of the workers sold 3 or more shirts, not AT LEAST one of the workers. So statement (2) alone only guarantee AT LEAST one of them did, as (0,10,11,23) is only a possible case but not EXACTLY one worker sold at least 3 shirts. Therefore, I believe that E is the correct answer as both statements together still make (0,1,2,5) and (0,1,3,4) the only two cases possible; the latter is still seeing TWO workers instead of ONE to sell 3 or more shirts. This is 5 years later but I hope that my argument is helpful for those with the same concern and I still hope for a respond from you.
The first action is to eliminate choice b, c, d the end value of the answer is 3, which is square root of 9. Then we will have only two choices a or e Then I guess the answer is a. Because I know that the square root of 15 is lesser than 4.
I have huge respect to both people who can come up with such interesting problems and the ones who can clearly explain them
Thanks Brian for all the effort, keep up the great work! Studying for the GMAT is a lonely and disheartening quest, it's good to get some professional motivation like yours.

Can you please share your some idea for GMAT ? Thank you
the explanation of how the question work and how they set it up is briljant, much love from the Netherlands
Brian you do a great job explaining not only the strategies but also the way how to go through that unconventionel questions. You offer an awesome way of preperation !
Full respect to Mr. Brian !
Bless you forever for these classes you so graciously uploaded online. 🙏🏿
I'm only ten minutes in and can tell this will be super helpful for me. Thank you for posting!!
This online class was very important to learn our mistakes...It is useful for daily work also..Thanks

One of the best teacher in the world
This video is a gold mine
at 57:00, the Shirts Sold Question, both could be correct. I'm not sure why the answer is B. Does each question stand alone?
You are doing a great job. I love all these lessons. Respect!
Excellent video! Thanks a lot for showing us some of the many traps!
Great stuff Brian.. Thanks for kick starting my GMAT prep!
excellent video, phenomenal instructor, thank you
Wow, thank you.
I have my GMAT exam on Friday (in 2 days) and just beginning to study now.
God's Girl How did it go? Can you share some tips from your experience? thanks

The triangle problem is extremely well aimed at seeing if you can think differently.
WAIT AT 44:52. Are cheat sheets like that provided? Or did you add that yourself just to help us with studying?
Thank you for making these videos! This has been extremely helpful!
Thanks for the kind words! Stay tuned we are going to publish new MOOC in September!
Where is your MOOC?
It is a quite prepare class. Good Job Mr. Brian
Everything is perfect 👌. Thank you so much man for this lesson
i prepare students: TOEFL, SAT,and GRE; But I need updated counsling and strategies forma GMAT thank you Brain.

is it because the formula only applies to right angles isosceles?

on the last question of video--why can't it be answer E.????

Thank You. You are an excellent teacher!.
This helps more than school
PrepAdviser I don't get the 15,15,15 that equals 45 no?
are these three lessons enough for GMAT? is there any other material available for full GMAT preparations? Please help me out with this. Thanks
Thank you so much sir while writing the what are the tips we we want to take
I'm glad Will decided to assist in Teaching after leaving MIT.
In the qustio of thrisft shop.
Doesnt statement 1 alone satisfy the answer.?
if person A B C and D sells 3, 2, 2,1 shirts respectively?
this is amazing! so helpful
great Video. I want to take the maths subject test. please which of your courses or programs do i register for . thanks

So how would you describe this video? I'm assuming you've already taken the test.

this is pretty good content, thank you!
this is simply great :)
Great overview- thank you!
who says the first two quantitative data sufficiency questions (1) and (2) questions are even related... ?
Will this session help for the GMAT test this year, 2018? I am really loving this course so far!
thank you for this wonderful and very useful vedios
really appreciate your lessons
Thanks a bunch.
So, informative! Thanks.
why is the answer not E for the sentence correction question.
I was thinking the same thing.
sean123456789 I think it may have to do with "they" referring to "writings" as an object.
Thank you very much, useful video
really helpful! thanks!

Agreed! And where did he get the assumption that the quantities should make the lowest numbers in a row, that is, 0, 1, 2 and 3?
Good video
