Ravi Sreerama Reviews

Company: Veritas Prep

Ravi holds the distinction of being the single highest-rated GMAT instructor in the world on GMAT Club. The holder of degrees from UC-Berkeley (BS), USC (JD), and UCLA (MBA) he is revered for his “99th percentile or bust” teaching philosophy and beloved for the notable catchphrases that guide students through challenging test-day problems. Ravi blends a challenging classroom environment with personalized attention. An avid basketball player, Ravi has traded the borrowed mantle “the Wizard of Westwood” for the broader reach of “the Oracle of Online” in the GMAT space, now teaching students around the world with his tough-but-fair GMAT approach.

I took the GMAT on my own in January. My score was a 610. Veritas helped me improve 100 points. My instructor was Ravi Sreerama and he was amazing. It's difficult to keep someone captivated for three hours online, but he did. Ravi really emphasized getting rid of silly mistakes, thinking critically, and engaging his students one on one through chat. Ravi is extremely knowledgeable and teaches the Veritas Material with ease. He knows what he's talking about and what to emphasize.

I cannot attest to whether Veritas is better than Manhattan, but Veritas worked for me. I thought they did a good job emphasizing how to approach the test, especially basics that make the quantitative section easier. I wound up using a lot of the basic tricks that get you out of a question in a few seconds during the actual exam. The verbal section was also phenomenal as I was able to refresh my verbal skills and see the bigger picture and what clues to look out for in sentence correction.

I highly recommend Veritas and I highly recommend taking the course with Ravi.

Choosing Veritas Prep to help me prepare for the GMAT was one of the best educational decisions that I have ever made. I think if I was to just walk into a testing center without having taken this course, I definitely would be setting myself up for failure. The instructor Ravi was excellent in being able to teach the secrets and techniques needed for success. He gave constructive criticism, provided encouragement and made student comfortable enough to ask questions without fear. Veritas is the best and Ravi is the best. I feel much more confident that I can achieve a high score on the GMAT thanks to this course.

I would reccomend Veritas Prep to anyone who is preparing for the GMAT. I work full time and Veritas Prep held classes after normal business hours, which made it very easy to attend classes.

I'd like to highlight my instructor Ravi for doing a great job in teaching the material and making helping me push the reset button on my foundation for verbal and quant.

What I liked most about the course was the online resources Veritas gives you. Vertias provides its student with not only material to own the GMAT, but to prepare yourself for after the test- application process.

Ravi had great experience in teaching GMAT and knows exactly what to teach for his students. I learned a complete overview about the test.
I strongly recommend veritas prep and especially Ravi. Veritas prep material is a thorough and complete package. Online videos and solutions for complex problems in videos helped me in a great way to understand all the concepts.
Ravi is very friendly and accessible in email and offline chat. Veritas team is dedicated and always helpful when in need.
VeritasPrep provides detailed homework explanation, numerous practice tests and study materials. It gives everything to increase your chances of achieving your goal.

If you are seeking to succeed on the GMAT, I fully endorse the Veritas Prep Program and specifically Ravi Sreerama who was critical during the review process. Ravi personalized the instruction and tailored the classes for our group. Furthermore, he made himself available via email and over the phone for follow-up conversations. Ravi sincerely took a genuine interest in the success of his students and I believe it paid off immensely. Lastly, Ravi made the process as enjoyable as possible. He instilled humor and fun when appropriate and gave us the comfort to be confident on the exam date. Thank you.

I definitely recommend both Ravi the instructor and the Veritas Prep GMAT course.
Ravi is very thorough in his explanations of how to crack the GMAT the most efficient and logical way possible.

His tips and tricks help you to save time when approaching a problem and how to set it up to easily dissect. Their are a few methods he uses that diverge slightly from the course work but undoubtedly are great additions to your GMAT toolbox.

Another great reason to sign up with Veritas, is that you can retake the entire course a second time if you need to. Definitely a great perk to brush up on certain subjects that may be more difficult to absorb.

The Veritas Prep coursework offers many example problems to work through as well as tons of online practice tests that simulate the real GMAT experience. You can also analyze the type of problems you get wrong to further strengthen your problem areas.

I recommend anyone who lives in the LA area to take Ravi's GMAT course.

Ravi is a great instructor who knows how to demystify the GMAT for his students. He has a tremendous command over the material and has a knack for prioritizing key learnings to maximize what students can get out of their class time. If you don't complete the skillbuilders ahead of class you will fall behind because he doesn't waste time reviewing the basics -- but this is how it should be, given what you're paying. He moves quickly, and if you're willing to put in the work to move at his pace you can get a lot out of this course. He's very accessible outside of class via email as well if you have any questions for him.

Before enrolling for Veritas Prep Live Online Course, I did a little self prep using materials I obtained through another prep center. I had a chance to go through different GMAT concepts and I thought I was good to go. But, when I attempted a couple of full-length diagnostic tests I realized how weak I was in verbal. I got an 'ok' quant score but I knew I could do better than that. The most difficult part was I couldn't identify where I was going wrong. Since, the self-prep method didn't work too well for me, I decided to give the assisted prep method a shot. I needed someone to guide me in the right direction so that I could think in the right way.

That's when I decided to take up the Veritas Prep Live Online Course and my decision was based on its great online reviews. Ravi Sreerama was my instructor for the course. Ravi not only taught some good GMAT strategies but also, taught some valuable 'transferable tips'. His teaching helped me think in a more structured and organized manner. He also, taught the importance of being skeptical and thinking critically when attacking GMAT problems. His tips on RC and DS areas are priceless. The Algebra and Arithmetic classes gave me some life-lessons. In short, Ravi is wonderful with numbers and he is a great teacher.

The Veritas prep course material is highly advanced and extremely strategic. In order to make use of the materials to the fullest, a thorough understanding on basic concepts is mandatory. The curriculum covers the basic concepts just like any other test prep material, but, if you really want to reap a benefit out of the whole deal, you got to reach a certain level to understand and implement the advanced strategy level tips.

I am generally, not a big fan of live online teaching but, to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed the live online learning experience at Veritas Prep.

I am yet to take my GMAT exam, so I cannot comment on that aspect now. But, my confidence levels have gone really high after I took this programme.

I highly recommend this course.

I recently took the online course with Ravi Sreerama as the instructor he was always able to breakdown a seemingly difficult problem and make it look really easy. The schedules are also very flexible.
The materials are thorough, I just wished I would've taken the course before the first GMAT but I am taking the test in a few week and with all I have learned I am confident I will be impressed my own score. I now understand how to approach each aspect of the test and how to conquer it. I will update with my result after my exam.

Ravi was a really amazing instructor who added a ton of value to this course. He keeps the class moving at a brisk pace, enabling him to cover a ton of material in a short amount of time, but does not sacrifice clarity and ensures that he can answer questions as needed. As a personal tutor as well as a Veritas instructor, he obviously has a lot of coaching experience that I found very valuable.

The best thing about Ravi is that despite having a class of over ten people, he was always willing to take time to give one-on-one feedback after class and he personally coached and prepped me before my exam. He is definitely someone who is passionate about his students' success - the kind of person who inspires you to go the extra mile. Highly recommended!
