[@jayagrace1627]

Just wanted to let you know that your videos are extremely valuable for everyone watching! I have a silly fear that you might stop uploading videos since it's not hitting high views yet! But people will find these videos eventually! Keep em coming! Thanks again! 😄

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Jaya. It is tough sometimes. Takes discipline. Just want the world to know the cool tricks/processes. But comments like this really help. Thank you.

[@shobbada]

Couldn't agree more

[@gulshankumar-rb3qg]

really great content for people who can't afford paid classes. Thank you so much and you are a great teacher

Finding whether a number is prime or not by dividing ONLY with the prime numbers, like 2,3,5 or 7 was the great advice. THanks Philip!

[@osaidqasim5103]

I did my GRE test yesterday, I needed 157 in the quant section for the university admission, and thanks to your help I got 160, thank you so much for your videos, you made my GRE journey easy and enjoyable

[@atitpandey9383]

Are these resources alone adequate to score 160?

[@chancellor8715]

@@atitpandey9383yes and no, as a learning tool they are, but you must do practice to get memorization down otherwise you won’t do good

[@osamafaisal7640]

The last trick was absolutely insane...I've never come across such an incredible trick in all my academic life

[@dayancodes]

Philip's gesturing reminds me so much of one my favourite SWE tutors Max Schwarzmüller. Both excellent tutors in their own right.

[@ThexLegendLP]

You are amazing. Thank you so much. Please never stop sharing those valuable lessons with people around you. The world needs teachers like you.

[@mariozavala2358]

I don't know where your accent is from, but I love it! It makes the lecture much more interesting a pleasant to hear

[@DHAiRYA2801]

In the first question (2:58), can we simply multiply 8 with 15 and see which of the following options divides the multiplied number (here 120)?

[@NatashaKait]

I wish I found your videos sooner. Its all my studying and mistakes are making SO much sense! Thank you!!!

[@monikaramos123]

Prime factorization has always been so intimidating to me! Thank you for these extremely useful tips. Now they are fun

You Sir, I don't usually like and comment on KZbin videos but you deserve it. You have no idea how much you are helping me. May Almighty bless you!

Thanks a lot Philip, I was absolutely dreading about the quant section in GRE , but they say when a wonderful teacher comes by your way things start to seem fun and achievable. Thank you for all the tutorials and the good work you are doing! :)

[@ChinonsoGrace]

You’re the best tutor I have ever seen. God bless you

[@jeremiahike]

Wasn’t going to click on this as I figured I knew PF, but that last example is a life saver. Sometimes seeing insanely large numbers can be intimidating, but not anymore. Thank you brotha!!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Worth a click! Thanks Sir

[@mithra55]

This is the reason why I keep looking at your videos!! The last trick was sooooo under my nose but I've neve ever thought of doing it that way 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 love the videos that you keep putting up!!!!

[@allysonaranonu]

You are so brilliant. Thank you so much for these videos. May God bless you. I feel at ease as I prepare for my exam now. I can’t thank you enough. All your videos are gems.

[@adityajain7500]

So helpful. I watch all your videos day in and day out, thanks for your time and effort. 6 more weeks to my test and I was lucky enough to find this channel

[@shivamshukla9486]

The last trick is such a lifesaver! Why did I never thought about that xD Please make a video on Mixtures. Really need some tricks to solve those concentrations & percentages. Thanks ya :D

Simply mind blowing! Haters would not hit the 'thumbs up' and it's as simple as that! Just keep going!

Thank you so much 😀

[@Xalgozblade]

great videos - I spent thousands of dollars on books and tutoring, but these videos really help fill the gaps for me. Thank you!

[@joysauruspappy4045]

I love the how you breakdown the problem into the most simplest. There are certain ways of explaining which gets registered in your brain and everytime I come across such a problem, I very well remember your explanation and I can never forget it. Thank you so much for doing such an excellent job!

[@TheTestedTutor]

What a lovely comment, thank you

[@kaylipeterson-johnston7473]

[@staffordbros6712]

I cannot thank you enough! I have not gotten a single prime factorization question correct on the practice questions/tests, but after watching your video I felt so much more confident! I was so freakin happy when I tried the last problem by myself and got it right! Keep it up!!! Your tricks save so much time, and I love that you stress to reason through problems!

[@Kings_707]

(5:17) I utilized this approach... I multiplied 8 by 15 (8*15=120) and then check from the following numbers which is divisible of 120, that is (124/24) Therefore, 24 was the right answer😄

[@salonidoshi8269]

Very well explained and very informative! Thanks a lot for posting these videos! I found a very similar question in the OG GMAT book, and I was totally lost. The explanation in the book was at least 30 lines long and it was so complex to follow. Nobody would have time to do such process during the exam. Your method is 5 times simpler! :D

What if 12 was an answer choice? Would that work? or does the mystery number have to have three 2s?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Has to have 3 twos

[@shadaeboakye-yiadom8833]

@@TheTestedTutor Still debating this. If the mystery number had to have 3 twos, then why doesn't 24 have to have one 5? The LCM of 8 and 15 is 120. 12 is a factor of 120. In order for something to be divisible, all the factors in the denominator must be matched to something in the numerator. If 12 (2x2x3) was in the denominator, it would match up to two of the three 2s and one of the threes in the numerator (2x2x2x3x5). Is there an error in my logic here?

[@atharva808]

thank you sooo much 😊😊😊😊

[@BritneyKoosa]

Thanks so much for those videos, they are so helpful I have a question with the last one (2^x)(3^y)(5^z)=240,000 why didnt we put 30 as common then 30^(x+y+z)=240,000 and then divided 240,000/30 --> however, I am getting the wrong answer, so why can't 30 be the common factor between all those three numbers?

[@Fatehsmann]

Loved it

[@nuzhatfatima6657]

Hi Phillip, hope you're well! Phenomenal job on these videos - I was wondering if you could help out with an official question? I've tried this with picking numbers and it seems to work for the most part, but I'm still left with eliminating between A and E, and it took a lot more time to pick a pair of integers that finally let me eliminate E and I ended up with A which is the correct answer - but this process took more time than I'd like it to. Is there quicker way? If c and d are positive integers and m is the greatest common factor of c and d, then m must be the greatest common factor of c and which of the following integers? A .c+d B. 2+d C. cd D. 2d E. d^2
