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’ve just completed the Full Online Course and I fully recommend it. Veritas’ methodology allows you to attack the GMAT by a logical approach and to avoid memorization of thousands and thousands of rules. I think they have the best methodology in the market, for different reasons:
The course is composed of 12 lessons, each having a skillbuilder session/quiz that must be completed before class; you can review all videos related to the different subjects (in quant and verbal) and all your classes/lessons, at any time you want; you dispose of 15 practice tests; you dispose of a vast number of problems in your homework sections, with which I recommend using together with the OG 13 problems – nothing is better than the official problems.
The professionalism of Veritas’ team members is very high. The teacher, Ravi Sreerama, was just exceptional. Ravi is very enthusiastic and highly skilled. For every single problem he knows how to attack it within the allowed time. He will give you tips and tricks to solve GMAT problems in an efficient way. For sure, the best GMAT teacher I have had.
Of course, in my opinion, Veritas Prep has some improvements to do in some homework explanations (including more videos in the webpage, for instance), but you always have the option to use the Homework help if you have any further question concerning the problems.
I recommend Veritas Prep for everyone preparing seriously to beat the GMAT.

I recently completed the Veritas online course taught by Ravi Sreerama. The structure of the course was excellent, covering 12 major disciplines that directly translate into succeeding with the quantitative and verbal sections of the GMAT. Several years ago I took the live class and the online class was every bit as effective. The instructor, Ravi Sreerama, was exceptional! He was able to navigate, interpret, and lend insight into the complexities that the GMAT questions bring – allowing me to see the “tricks and shortcuts” necessary to succeed. He’s an excellent instructor! I highly recommend Veritas and Ravi for your GMAT preparation.

Classroom: I was a little skeptical about taking this course online at first. I very quickly came to the realization that I was not missing out from attending an in-person class. Taking the live online version of the course gave me that structure and the human interaction you would expect from attening a class in person.
Materials:
Books and curriculum: The class came with 12 lesson books for each class. You really feel that the way the course is set up that instead of having 12 individual lessons you having one big lesson with 12 individual chapters that build on top of each other.
The adaptive practice test with detailed analysis make it extremely easy to break down concepts that your struggling with and work on timing.
Ravi: This guy was AMAZING. For starters he was extremely intelligent and knew this course and the concepts needed to succeed on the GMAT inside and out. His ability to go beyond the lessons and book to teach us different tips and tricks was invaluable
If you want to break into the 700s this is the course for you, it teaches you the skills you need, the way of thinking to think like the test takers and the practice material to do so.

I picked Veritas Prep over other programs because I heard they were the best. After taking the course I realized it is not only the methods and tips they give their students to succeed, but amazing instructors. Ravi Sreerama is the best instructor I've ever had. He not only makes class fun, but also really cares about his students. Ravi even stayed after with me one night so I would fully grasp data sufficiency. In one month with him, I increased my score 100 points! The night before the exam, he even emailed me to try and calm my pre GMAT nerves. Ravi is not only an asset to Veritas but to any student in his class.

First and foremost not only do I recommend Veritas prep, but I truly feel that specifically Ravi Sreerama is the best instructor that I have ever experienced (not just for GMAT, but entirely). He does a fantastic job of making the coursework less stressful, by adding cold truths, and bold explanations. I feel that if you do not utilize Ravi's expertise you will not be prepared for the GMAT. As in life I am sure most all information for GMAT preparation is relatively similar; however, the delivery is the most important aspect. And with that Ravi Sreerama = best in the business!

At first, I was hestitant about taking a GMAT course, but after taking the course with Ravi Sreerama from Veritas Prep, I was really impressed. He was very practical and logical when teaching. He slowed down and answered everyone's questions thoroughly, but he also got through all the lessons in time. Ravi actually cares to make sure everybody understands the info. Definitely don't be scared to ask questions during class. The environment is very friendly. So if you choose veritas, choose RAVI.
Without a doubt.....if you are looking for a GMAT course or want a GMAT private tutor, choose RAVI SREERAMA!

After looking for ages I finally found a course that made me more motivated to show up to the class thanks to their helpful staff and great instructor.
The teacher, Ravi, kept everyone focused and made sure that everyone left the class with satisfaction. He asked about where we went wrong and did not give up until we had it all clear.
The students were an amazing group and we are still in touch to see how everyone is progressing.
The materials can help a beginner or a skilled student get to their target in no time.
Improved my score by 140 points.

I had a great experience using Veritas Prep's live online course. My instructor, Ravi Sreerama, was truly outstanding. I had taken the GMAT once previously using a local private tutor and Manhattan GMAT materials. I found both the Veritas Prep materials and Ravi to be far superior. He did a great job of keeping the class interesting while taking time to answer everyone's questions. He also provided excellent guidance on practice test timing and strategy. Additionally, the new Veritas practice tests are excellent and (at least for me), a great predictor of the final outcome. I raised my GMAT score from 650 to 740 in only 6 weeks- overall I am extremely satisfied with Veritas/Ravi!

I'm currently located in Singapore but wanted to take a GMAT course from a reputable test prep company and get the same quality of instruction that I would have expected back in the US. I looked at numerous options for online study and I liked Veritas the best: Not only did they offer live online classes that I could attend from abroad, but they also offer you access to almost all of their services, class recordings and online resources for up to a year! Two colleagues had also strongly recommended Veritas to me and are now at Wharton and Booth respectively.
Veritas' materials and study plan are both rigorous and comprehensive. I liked the mix of learning by doing and then the practical strategies and tips provided. The course also gives you great refresher lessons which they call "Skillbuilders."
The best part of the course however was my instructor, Ravi Sreerama. Ravi showed up to each class with infectious enthusiasm which made the 3 hrs fly by! I got the feeling that most students, including myself, could have gone another 1 or 2 hrs with him. Ravi's nickname in our class was "the guru" - there seemed to be no concept he couldn't simplify and explain to us. He was always funny, knowledgeable, patient and encouraging - like most good teachers are. He also had great tips for us, many not in the books, that came out of his answering individual questions. Lastly, Ravi made time to check in with each student individually to make sure they were coming along, but it never interrupted the class flow.
I could not recommend Ravi's class with Veritas more. I will be taking the test in 3 weeks.

Ravi Sreerama is a great instructor, and I really enjoyed taking his GMAT courses through Veritas Prep. His lectures were interesting, and he discussed about great strategies to approach various GMAT problems. Ravi was also approachable and connected well with the students. Whenever I had a question, I could ask Ravi for assistance. Ravi wants his students to do well on the GMAT. Veritas Prep is a great test preparation program with wonderful study materials, online resources, and practice tests. I learned a lot in Ravi’s class, and I would recommend his class to students who are preparing for the GMAT!
