710 for an intro grade is already pretty competitive 😳

I love how you acknowledge that you did have an advantage based on your education. Thanks for being real!

Good advice ... but no one should beat themselves down if they have to spend more time to score well. I have known someone who did not even study or take any mock test before taking GMAT and scored 780 - because before GMAT, these people had spent numerous hours during their high school or college working on similar problems to build the foundation, while at their jobs (especially those who work as engineers/ programmers/ lawyers), their ability to think logically is also being tested constantly. Geniuses are made not born. I m preparing for GMAT, following the same approach, but could only score 700 (Q44, V41) - because honestly, I was an Arts major, have graduated from college for many years, and have lost touch to most of the high school math. So the strategy is sound but the short preparation timeframe works only for those who already have a great foundation in both math and English. I m in my 3rd month of studying, to prepare for my second attempt. I doubt I will be able to get 70+ improvement just in two weeks still.

I love this guy. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation on how to answer the test. You've saved us a lot of time and money

Best advice ever. Refreshing and thought-provoking.

Challenge accepted xD, I'll do the GMAT exam with 1 week of preparation, first mock test 430, second mock test 540...I guess at least I have some chances to get 650 for the next week's real exam.

I like the way you explain things. The way you speak, your gesture. All clear and concise. It's really engaging and making me want to pay closer attention. I hope you make more videos!

These tips are amazing!! One thing I can add for people reading comments for tips: If you're a college/university student, odds are your library has recent editions of GMAT study prep books available. I was able to get 4, all of which were between 1 to 3 years dated and they cost me nothing (when retail would've been hundreds of dollars).

Crazy score man! Motivates me to retake and bump my 710 up

My absolute hardest thing is to just sit down and study and work on it. When I’m fully engaged I start to really pick up on things

I have lots of things in my to do list and now your GMAT prep videos will be the immediate nexts! Fingers crossed :-)

This video helped me overcome my GMAT anxiety thank you

This is exactly how my 7th grade English teacher taught us to write. That was 36 years ago.

Thanks so much for the video! I have a super similar background and totally agree with it being "hackable" but can't get myself to put in the hours, this definitely motivated me more. I'd love to see a video on why you ended up not pursuing your an MBA!

Thank you for this! Im planning to study gmat.. i have plans to take MBA within the next 3 years... hope i can ace it.

I already took GMAT four times but just can't crack 700...very upset...

I took the GMAT back in 2019 and got a dismal score of 620. I had spent 3 or 4 months prior to the GMAT with a tutor who was tutoring me on the math part of the exam. He claimed that he knew what he was talking about, but once I got to the exam, all those studying sessions were thrown out the window because all of the math related questions on the test were totally unrelated to the hundreds of math questions that he had me practicing for 3-4 months. It was a tutor from Varsity Tutors by the way. I'll never forget that. I couldn't believe it. I feel so discouraged now when it comes to trying to prep for this exam again. But I'm going to try......

Thanks! I'm very glad I watched this :)

Thank you for awesome strategy.

Awesome video! Thank you :)

Thanks a lot for your insights. Waiting for part 2. Please mention the specific websites and materials used for each section of the prep in your next video and also let us know about why you changed your decision to not pursue mba. Cheers!

thx man, you're awesome

This was super helpful!!!

Pretty late but yeah your advise is rocking my knowledge every day. Thanks 🙏..😊

Thank you for this!

Just took a practice test and got a 400. Basically every section half wrong. Taking the official 6/15. I'm in trouble lol

I saw nothing flawed with the Johnny and the ice cream argument

You got 710 on your first try while going to college full time working as a tutor and managing life. Wtffff? Dude this exam is designed for people like you. None of your advice is going to apply to ordinary people

Great video!

The fact that he scored 710 in the first tets shows that his advice is actually irrelevant for most of us

Thank you very much Brian. My two questions are about the verbal part: Did you have a long reading habit before the exam? Have you been reading magazines/sophisticated articles in English for long years? What is your mother tongue?

Nice video, very healthy advice

Great video man! I'm starting to prep for the GMAT. I haven't done post secondary in 6 years. I'm a bit rusty lol

Thank you, this is helpful!

Hi Bryan, thanks for the tips! I am just starting to prep, can you share links to the online forms that you found the most useful? There is so much information online making it difficult to actually sort through what is helpull. Thanks!!

oooooooHHHH!!! you're so amazing!!!!!

not even taking the exam yet but still watching that vid wtf

Hi Bryan - Thanks for taking the time to make and post the vid. You reference GMAT forms for prep in between mock exams multiple times. Could you pls clarify what you mean by GMAT form? Which resource did you use for those "forms"? Many thanks in advance.

Great shirt

Genius 🥺

you're genius man

appreciate this!

can you please talk more in-depth ab 2+2 and best strategy to apply? thxxx

Test prep centers hate this guy! Bored Asian dude discovers foolproof trick to ace the GMAT.

I think you are a genius and you have received a good education. Your path is not comparable with the majority of the people.

it's not only 700 followers. it's been doubled by now :)

my GMAT is in a week and I still don't know how to start studying :(

What math do you typically see on the GMAT?

Thanks Bryan for such a comprehensive video. Could you recommend some free online materials to study for GMAT?

On the GMAT Quant section, which area of math did you regard as the hardest?

What forums were you on

Hi Bryan! Thanks for your video! I've been using GMAT club for a while and your video showed me how to be much more efficient with the website so thanks so much for sharing your talents with us! you mentioned online tools / websites that are useful for increasing speed reading comprehension. Would you mind sharing the sites that you found useful to increase your reading comprehension speed? I have done many searches and I feel like there are many highly ranked ones that aren't very useful.

Very useful! Can you please send me the link to the GMAT forum?

Hey there! Amazing video, thanks for sharing!

Hi How R U ? Amazing videos as usual ! Sorry for disturbing, I had a question about the way I should organize my revisions on the Gmat Club website: I started 2 weeks ago to prepare for my gmat exam, which will take place in a center on Febuary 3 2021. So now, I have about 2 monts and a half til the exam date. Is it better to train a topic by topic (like for example in DS Absolute Values/Modules, then Algebra, Arithmetic while doing question of different levels of difficulty) or is it better to use directly the "100 Hardest and easiest questions of October 2020" sections for each subjects (DS, PS, IR, CR, RC, etc.) ? Cause I've been doing the first method since the beginning of my revisions but I see that it takes a lot of time lmao Thx !

Hi Bryan, Is GMAT plateform more than enough to prepare for GMAT

could you please share a video about the storyline of applying for MBA from a tech background ?

Bryan please help me .. I did so bad on my gmat .. how can I improve

What score did you get when you took the actual GMAT??

well you are teacher and have many math skills

Thank you for the advice! Can you please give us the link to the forums you used?

Can you please suggest a good source if I want to learn content and brush up on concepts? The subscription of online prep is so expensive?

You keep saying to go to GMAT something for answers. I couldn't hear clearly. Is there a link?

What were your admissions results for deferred MBAs?

Can you please share your study plan

do you suggest any books to preparing for this?

Heyy thanks for the tips. I have read that taking official exam few times isn't very good, cuz your previous scores can be seen and affect you acceptance. Is that true?

your basics are clear = 2 weeks

Which forums do you recommend?

What is the website you used?

What does it take to get into Wharton Business School?

step 1: be smart af

bro which forum did you use ,is it possible to get some links

Looking a mentor for my GMAT verbal part!

where can I take a practice GMAT test ?

Is your name Bryan or Brain? not really sure about that

Good video in general, even though there are some points that have proven to be myths in it. Example: Score consistently over the first 20 questions and you'll be fine. While that is true, it does not mean that you will not be fine when you mess up 3 out of the 5 first questions. That really isn't how it works. Other than that: congrats and thanks for the video.

wow can i ace my gmat now

Which GMAT Forums do you recommend? Is Magoosh good?

Great content and subscribed! Would love hear what you think of our grad school channel. Thank you.
