Course Description
The quantitative section is an essential part of most competitive exams.

lovely! thank you so much! After being out of school for over a decade, it has been difiicult to brush-up on math skills. This first lesson has me very excited for this course and very grateful for your taking the time to share your expertise. Very well taught and explained.
By Trevor Friend on 3/2/2026
multiplicant and multiplier slowed me down knowing which was which initially. A consistent colour coding might help with lessons. e.g. Lesson 56 . the flag digit blue , quotient red, and subscript below dividend green
By Jojo Genius on 1/12/2026
The course is truly amazing, and the tricks are enlightening. However, the videos are a bit slow, which might decrease student engagement, especially with younger learners. Consider ways to make the content more dynamic and engaging.
By Ateeq Ahmed on 7/25/2024
Very Comprehensive course, cover almost every aspect of learning Mental math and answer questions quickly. Overall great work maam Few Area of Improvement 1. Video lectures could be precise as i feel lectures are a bit long, more self practice questions must be given. 2. More Quizes (Optional) or lightning rounds to test mental math 3. Must provide a consolidated pdf or ppt of all tricks and techniques taught in lectures.
By Sandhya rani singh on 6/11/2024
Yes! It was! I'm giving it a 4.5 star rating because of the lesson multiplication by 5, 25, 125, It was a big mess in my brain, but the course really helped me out a lot! Thank you.
By Vivian Hui on 8/23/2023
It is a wonderful course. Materials are well organized and Ruchi Chhabra explains everything clearly. I enjoy learning new tricks to solve math problems faster. I wish I have learned these materials when I was young. There is a lot of information, and I will go back to revisit the material again. I look forward to courses by Ruchi Chhabra. Thank you Udemy and Ruchi Chhabra for this course.

not the 1st course I took in vedic math. 1. instructor explains clearly . for example . although good to know sutra for example difficult to remember for westerner. 2. other courses gave examples but no tests so if your making simple error you don't see it.
