Wordy Percentage Questions - GRE

[@beebeeaes]

Hey Philip!! I just appeared for my GRE exam, and scored a 160 in quants, and i have to say, it would have not been possible if not for your videos! they are succinct and contain all the logics and resources necessary, thank you so much :) grateful! 🙏

[@monikaparajuli5448]

I have my GRE exam in a week and I have been binge watching your videos. They are really informative and fun to watch as well. Thank you so much. Sending you lots of love from Nepal.

[@sowmyas7927]

Thank you so much for this. I'm giving my gre 2nd attempt on 26th and I had messed up quants on the 1st attempt. Now I'm completely relying on your videos to boost my score. Will be back on 27th to let you know how it goes.

[@beebeeaes]

all the best!!

[@LiveComedyBrian]

I cannot emphasize more on how this guy makes every problem in quant so easy to understand. Props to you sir!

Hello Philip, I truly cannot thank you enough for making these excellent videos! I am a huge fan of yours. Currently, I am going through your quant videos a third time around, as I have been studying pretty hard this summer to take the GRE on August 15. I already took the GRE at home back on March 1, 2021, and I got a 161 on the Quant section. This time I have been studying smarter and harder. I am gunning for a top score as I hope to apply to a few PhD in Economics programs in 2023. Right now I am halfway through completing a Master's Degree in Statistics, and I have to say that I really appreciate the thoroughness of your videos. I really like how you explain the math concepts at their core and proceed to work though many challenging questions that force me to think hard. Also, as an American, I have borrowed a few of your British sayings such as, "Bob's your Uncle", and "You are now the don of...". Thank you and best regards Daniel

[@TheTestedTutor]

Haha that's great to hear Daniel. Thank you for the kind words and good luck with any confusion arising from your use of those Britishisms!

I wish I would've come across your page sooner, you make understanding all this math so much simpler. It has been over 14 years since I have been in school, and I am studying for my GRE. I did horribly the first go around, I am binging your videos and hoping this will help me acquire a better score the second attempt. Thank you for all this free tutoring and explanations-you are amazing!!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thank you Vanessa. Good luck and let us know what happens

[@davidblainex14]

[@moncebravo7126]

I've been watching your videos all summer and they have been super helpful. I take the GRE in a couple of days and I'm struggling with those testing jitters ... hoping all goes well. Thank you for these videos!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Good luck Monce!

[@nikithaaa8312]

Never knew things were soo easy to solve!💫

[@MookaMG]

I have my GRE in 4 days. I really wish I would've found your channel earlier. Got a 143 on my quant practice test unfortunately, and I'm devastated. I need to go up 10 points. Gonna binge your videos lol

[@rubanashah6973]

[@tommyshelby2020]

Super helpful, thanks for sharing!

[@balajisharma9980]

Hey Phil I have my GRE exam next month. While i was revising percentages, i came across this particular question in magoosh which i found quite intriguing and confusing at the same time. would love your explanation on this question and some other questions as such (FYI ; this is question is listed under the "very hard" category by magoosh) Q) On a 100-point exam, 40 percent of the students scored more than 60, and 20 students scored less than 40. What is the least number of students who could have taken the exam? I hope you solve this question. By the way, that was a wonderful video, good questions and explanations.

[@dakshpatel6565]

Hello Philip. Been binging on the sublime videos you make. Could you please try to make a video on the Admissions timeline for fall and the early deadlines of universities? And what are the necessary things to remember. Would be very grateful…

[@TheTestedTutor]

Great idea

[@debunklakshmi2792]

Sir can u please do a video on limits ( Calculus) please sir . I love ur teaching method please sir 😇

[@tusharkumar7963]

Hey Philip, is the quant section getting tougher? Could you please make a video for advanced combination problems, as well as for probability? I have my GRE on 17th August.

[@sadakakarla6242]

Heyy Philip! Good job!! Thanks a lot for all your amazing tutorials. Are these type of questions sufficient to score well in percentage questions in Quant section? :)

[@nickb9606]

Question: What about a 237% decrease in 140? How can we do those types of questions where %decrease is more than a hundred? Your videos are very helpful!Thanks in advance!

[@TheTestedTutor]

You can't. There is no decrease above 100%. Else you end in the upside-down, your soul tormented by math demons, cackling and prodding maniacally.

[@omkarumadi9765]

ANSWER will be negative

[@KiranKumar-pe3vl]

Short and sweet😄

[@garvitjain3251]

Bro you are best

[@georgettemichelle2429]

In the Sofia and Philip problem, isn't x what Sofia's salary would be if it were 30% higher? Before solving what percent $5000 would be of Sofia's salary, don't we need to find her actual salary (70% of x)?

[@TheTestedTutor]

That won't work because finding 70% of something cannot undo a 30% increase. We have to define the original value as x, the increase as 1.3x and then undo it by dividing.

[@striker3413]

I have counted 7.6 % for the first exercise. Would it be a problem?

[@pratikgundigara9236]

you are awesome

[@nezsa628]

Dear Tested Tutor, I feel like a ginny pig because this year I am taking the new GRE and to be honest I am so nervous. Do you have any new content coming up before the new test is administered this September?

[@liliiamaslarova1840]

I am also taking it. Will keep everyone posted about how it goes. Will also appreciate a video about it by Philip.
