All GMAT Ninja LIVE YouTube videos by topic

All GMAT Ninja LIVE YouTube videos by topic

In case you missed it –- or slept through it (lucky you!) –- we’ve just completed our third series of GMAT videos LIVE on YouTube. Some have been pretty good and most have been sloppy and raw… but they’ve all been kinda fun, at least for me.

So now that we’ve done more than 50 hours of videos –- so, like, more than four full seasons of a typical Netflix show –- it’s time to organize these by topic. These don’t quite constitute a full GMAT course, since we’ve been heavy on quant word problems and verbal topics, and lighter on "non-wordy” quant topics. But it’s getting closer to fulfilling all of your, um, GMAT video fantasies? (Does anybody actually have GMAT video fantasies? If so: you might have issues.)

So here’s everything we’ve done, grouped by topic. The topic lists don't necessarily list the videos in the same order in which we filmed them, so don’t be shocked if you see me get very slightly younger and very marginally prettier from one video to the next. If that terrifies you, there's a chronological list of videos at the bottom of the post.

Thank you for posting! Your live series were really helpful and fun. I'd be interested in one dedicated to note-taking strategy for different sections of Verbal. Always felt like note taking in Verbal and in general makes a huge difference in the GMAT especially since it's a computer exam and we can't annotate directly.

GMATNinja thanks for organizing the videos. I watched most of them and definitely learned new techniques. I dare to say that everyone in the gmatclub community is grateful for your help and contributions.

Would you like to grab a cup of coffee in Denver?

And I thought you were a dandy in the upper manhattan district.

Kinda like Eustace Tilley GMATNinja

Haha, I'm complicated! I used to live in NYC (more of a Queens guy than a Manhattan guy, fwiw), moved to Denver, spent a year or two splitting time between Denver and NYC, then resettled fully in Denver.

But a few astute viewers of Series 3 noticed that I seemed to be somewhere different every week. I've been traveling with my wife and toddler for a year -- so I did the 9 videos in Series 3 from airbnbs in 5 different cities in 29 days. The plan was to stay in one place during that whole YouTube series, but then some mayhem happened, and...

mykrasovski, I'd love to grab coffee once I'm back in Denver in a month or so. I'm awful with PMs, but I'll keep an eye out for one from you. Or feel free to reach out through my website if that's easier -- whichever you'd prefer.

I don't think I can thank you enough for these videos. Everything that you have covered in these videos is so much valuable.
This is not the best way to describe it but these videos are worth 10$k and they are available for free for the whole world. Awesome!

I love how you bring humor into your session. Thank you so much!

One Kudos will not be enough for this post. So I will say this.
For you, a thousand times over! (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/772 ... ite_Runner)

DO IT! Denver is awesome. And we'll set up a Denver GMAT meetup sometime after the holidays, with enough advance notice to have some chance at collecting more than two people.
_________________

Well, Let me take the test first.
Part 2 is to start looking for a new job after holidays. So, Sure. I'll try Denver

Sounds Awesome! Regardless, I know I can manage a trip to Denver! Let's do it. I will follow up after holidays

GMATNinja mykrasovski

Edit: I will cook Bhindi Masala or whatever Indian dish you want
_________________

TheNightKing sounds like a plan Just shoot me a PM once you finalize your trip to the Mile High city and I will take care of planning.

I like this plan! TheNightKing can make bhindi masala, mykrasovski can bring draniki, and I'll whip up some moussaka. bb will be in charge of vareniki.

(Endless kudos to anybody who has actually eaten those four dishes in the same day!)

Looks like we will have to book Airbnb for a weekend Not a plan we can execute in coffee shop.

Also, may be we should stop spamming this thread or someone can just delete all of these posts

GMATNinja who will bring some sour-cream? It goes with vareniki and draniki

Whoever eats all these four dishes in one day will most certainly end up in an endless food coma lol.
