There were few questions which was very confusing and people could have interpreted both the options instead of the correct one. But my ratings are not based on this. I would have given 5 star rating to this course, if author had given oral techniques (like vedic maths) for solving such problems, which actually helps in practical life, like negotiating with some vendor face to face and you can knock him down with your oral calculations skills. In the end, good experience. Thanks for the efforts.

The course explains percentages really well in many different forms and has ample examples and questions. I liked the flow of the course as well as the sync between the voice over and the text. Super useful for high school math students as well as anyone looking to sharpen their percentages skills for SAT / GMAT / GRE!
