    Hi
    I have always been extremely bad in maths, I took GRE on July 5 and could only score 540 in maths.
    Even if i get 620 or above in maths it would be a big success for me but wont help me in admission as the institute i want to go to require AT LEAST 750, higher than that would be preferred.
    How do i practice to be excellent from a failure in maths and not just good.
    Also what is the sign after practicing that i am actually ready for test and would be able to take 750 at least?
    Badly need guidance and advice

    Thanks

      Ayesha,

      Do you have a tutor? An excellent math tutor can make a difference. I’ve helped students go from 500 to 700 on Quant. It is possible.

      And don’t forget there is also the Magoosh product. We offer just math questions and videos – hundreds of hours worth – for an excellent price.

    Does new revised GRE contain a calculus portion?

      Hi, Ajay

      Nope, no need to worry– the GRE does not test any calculus material.

    Hi!

    what’s the cost of GRE math in Indian currency? Do you provide the study material in New Delhi? How will I get it by post or in soft copy …?

    Regards

    Hi,

    I was doing a practice question from Princeton Review and did not understand their explanation to the solution for the following problem.
    An elected official wants to take five members of his staff to an undisclosed secure location. What is the minimum number of staff members the elected official must have in order to have at least 20 different groups from which to choose?
    The answer choices are: 7, 8, 9, and 10.
    The correct answer is 7.

    If you could explain to me how to solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Ainee

      Sure, no problem :) .

      This question is a combinations question – we are choosing from a group. We don’t know the total number of people in this group, but we do know the number being chosen to head to the (very suspect sounding) undisclosed location: 5.

      Using the combinations formula: x!/ 5!(x-5)! > (or equal to) 20

      Next, we work with the answer choices. If you’ve played around with combinations before, you’ll see that 10 is going to give you a pretty large number. Anyhow, when working with combinations we should start with the lowest number because it’s easiest to do the math: 7!/5!2! = 21.

      All the other numbers, when plugged in, will give you a larger number. So 7 (which gives you 21) is the least number satisfying the question.

      Hope that helps :) .

        Thanks! That explanation was a lot better than what Princeton had!
