All, I'm Thomas, the instructor in the video. Thanks for watching! Please note that in minute 21, the discussion of roots, I have an error; the square root of 4 is two and only two; it is not -2. We all have our moments, that was one... thanks to Mariam AL for the heads up!

[@lucasdemoura6205]

Thank you, Thomas! You are the man! You are an amazing teacher, we all appreciate your class very much!

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Welcome Lucas!

[@Ashley_429]

Thanks for the video!!

[@forever_golfer1981]

Are you a TCU professor?

[@arpitamitra8363]

Hey do you have any Data interpretation and data sufficiency video

[@russellcframe]

Thank you for this. I haven't touched on many of these ideas for 20+ years, so this review has been an extremely helpful in my GMAT preparation.

[@DeepakChauhan-xh2jj]

Beautiful. Your soft voice is making GMAT Math soft & doable. Thanks for the great work.

[@TheTestedTutor]

So good to put this out there. I share the goal and recently created GMAT Quant playlift on my Tested Tutor channel.

[@almavelez5335]

Watching this in 2019!! God bless this man, he’s an amazing teacher, I’ve always sucked at math and was freaking out about the quants sections. He really breaks it down in English, because math can sometimes feel like a foreign language.

[@dannybustos3714]

This is the best video I've ever come across

[@gabrielpeg]

Amazing explanations! The simplest I've seen so far, tks a lot!!

[@sgarrick1052]

This is an excellent walk through of the book... Thank you!!

[@Marcelllu23]

Thanks for the material. Excellent video!

[@jeffmoore837]

This guy is a boss, I love how he explains things

[@nanase21]

Craaaaazy excellent video! Most useful than most math reviews out there.

[@leftbrainprep]

These two videos are fantastic! I recommend to all my students.

[@HighestMuffinhead]

I have been terrified of the math in the GMAT, but this video took so much of my stress away! Thank you so much!

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Welcome HMH!

[@lauraarana4826]

Completely agree, besides he has such a calm voice tone.

[@jakobs4338]

Pink shirt. Guy haha

[@johnp7790]

[@XXJRAXX]

You are AMAZING!!

[@sadafrahmanrudhan6792]

Thank you so much great lecture helped me a lot

[@ed272011]

awesome presentation

[@RitaCastagnaBlu]

Amazing explanation. I feel back to High school, you're really clear! A constructive critic for your next video lessons: you could keep your book on your right side of the desk. in this way, when you change from one topic to the following, you will leave the numbers written on the board visible.

[@paulinebrussee6886]

Thanks so much!

[@jatinkalra3219]

Amazing review

[@siddharthbhardwaj3463]

Thanks for such informative video

[@VaibhavKatoria]

[@abdulazizfarhat978]

excellent , thanks

[@abdullahhafeez2210]

How did I, an ardent hater of Math, start appreciating and enjoying it after watching this video? What is this sorcery? Pink shirt guy, thank you!

[@elsauced4085]

good video thanks. I'm nervous but I'ma kill it!!!

[@yes4083]

Thanks!

[@danieluusitalo522]

THANK YOU

[@abrar334]

Super!

[@Sergio-td7mn]

great, thx

[@danielamata4699]

Hi! I loved this video. However, I didn't understand a single word from section 9, either the example or the formula. What was about? Thanks!

[@galy50]

any link to a book with exercises & practical test?

[@boogeRus]

literally graduated from undergrad today and my mind is blown at him doing fractions WOW its been a long time lol

[@FRESHENDEAVOUR]

this is fantastic. does anybody have any notes from this video that I can view offline? thanks

[@cekirdekci32]

still lthanks for the video:)

[@dyutimazumder425]

Its quite comprehensive...

[@tireswing]

This guys voice is nice.

[@AJ-iu6nw]

If anyone is reading, How much does a low undergrad GPA affect application? What if I get an overachieving GMAT score, will that compensate for my poor GPA? Thanks!

[@pug_racer]

If you score above the average of the applicant pool that the graduate program has then yes. For example, if the average GMAT score of a certain program is a 600, but you score a 670. Then you'll probably have a good chance I would say work experience is also important

[@everforward4936]

great lowest common denominator brilliant

[@forever_golfer1981]

Can this work for the GRE as well?

[@omkargajelli4213]

Yes. Absolutely.

[@maximlew]

46:30 shouldn’t it be 60/1000 * 59/800? Else we can pick the same student twice.

[@marcwollheim6908]

No because it says 60 sibling pairs -> 120 siblings. you can pick one of the pair of siblings from the junior class and the other sibling from the senior class.

[@ZZheng-on7gt]

I'm suddenly very into math now...

[@mohammedenezi3092]

very inserting explanation , l, the only issue is you give us the answered without knowing how the Q looks like?

[@rogermenjivar1438]

OMG I can't believe I don't remember how to do this and I need a GMAT score of 600.

[@ruxiist]

Guessing you’ve already done your GMAT. How did you do in the end?

[@XXJRAXX]

Have you taught in the Middle East, UAE, Fujairah at OOEHS?

[@thomasmr.9931]

I taught at HCT/ADMC for three years, but not Fujairah.

[@seriousnewsnetwork2707]

Lost me at @24.30. Why did you change the symbol because you wanted to multiply by one to correct that figure. Also why did you factorize at the end in the step just before the answer. Was it change of subject of formula principles ? I may have missed something but I felt you laid foundations on everything up until then

[@zanesheikh1901]

great video for the basics but the test feels so much more intense than this lol

[@ZZheng-on7gt]

My notebooks are wet when the teacher multiplies the top

[@edwinbarongo7152]

Hello Mr. Your review is great; however, I got a challenge when your video turned unclear at exactly 8:16. If you can make it clear to see the whiteboard, then all will be fine. Thank you.

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Hi Edwin, check at 8:30, there I step out for a clearer view of the board.

[@zahidkhan-vb5cj]

Sir name of the book

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Official Guide for GMAT Review

[@forever_golfer1981]

This will get me a 700 on the gmat?

[@rickyg6068]

750 at least...

[@marinabaskakova2333]

17:24 - can’t you just do: G = (4*28)/7 = 4*4 = 16? PS - great video, thanks so much!

[@thomasmr.9931]

Yes Marina, that produces the correct answer, thanks!

[@mendypeters8489]

took me 8 hours to finish this 1 hour video. oh man I'm slow

[@rogermenjivar1438]

Keep it up! I've been studying this basic math for hours now too lol.

[@alisarabi4087]

here is a tip: when you are left handed you look to the camera over your left shoulder, and vice versa. this way you won't block the view of the board.

[@two203ify]

this is just the gmat offical guide review in a video

[@AD-nk3ik]

....i hope you're the type of person I'm applying against!

[@two203ify]

@@AD-nk3ik ? "..." lmao 1. you're a loser 2. if you have the official guide he's reading directly from the math review portion 3. sucks being wrong buddy 4. have fun at chico state

[@AD-nk3ik]

Nah

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Hi giants4, I'm the instructor, yes this is the math review chapter in video with a few supplements. It was designed primarily for our online GMAT prep students to watch before class, and is described to them as "a review of the GMAT math review chapter." Some don't "see it" with the book, this review is for that group.

[@mariamal8500]

the answer to square root of 4 is 2. not 2 "and" - 2.Square roots are ALWAYS positive or zero. however if x^2=4, then x=-2 and x=+2

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Thank you Mariam! You are correct... not sure what I was thinking... was I thinking?! I'll request TCU to add an annotation!

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

In the end, I wasn't able to get an annotation added. I've posted a comment as a heads up to future viewers.

[@cekirdekci32]

these schools trying to take me gmat. and all these people making gmat look like some real thing. i took an exam was 15 times harder than this and it was the worst studying year in my life. when i look at gmat i laugh

[@zehcnas28]

27:50 -1/8 is not larger than -1/2

[@budsnz]

Yes it is. -1/8 is closer to 0 than -1/2.

[@MetBitTV]

yes it is. -0,125 is bigger than -0,5

[@georgetietjen613]

On the number line yes it is. Only using absolute value would -1/2 be greater than -1/8

[@deepeshparihar7362]

26:00 help me

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Deepesh, I'm the instructor, this topic is "rationalizing the denominator", for another take on the topic, search for this term and you should get lots of options.

[@azamtokhi6882]

I was trying to find your email or a phone number. Based on your pronunciation I guess you should be American.

[@ThomasCambridgeMaths]

Hi Azam yes, American - my website is www.quia.com/profiles/thomasdavis and you can email me from there.
