    Hi Mihir,

    Thanks for your interest in e-GMAT courses. We would love to have you join the e-GMAT family.

    As far as RC goes, you may purchase RC live sessions course for $49. You will then get access to the recordings right away. Also, you will be able to attend the live sessions when the next batch begins around October 15.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks,

    Payal

    Interested in RC Recording but actually curious to know few things like :

    1. Recordings available in what video format. Can i view them in browser ?
    2. All the above discussed topics including lesson 1 and lesson 2 are included in recorded videos ?
    3. New live sessions for RC starting from October 15 contain new lessons ?
    4. I have gmat on November 2 . Will i be able to complete all RC live sessions well before that time ?
